QUANTA Technologies, Inc. was founded in 2009 by three engineers with industry experience in materials and building products. The product concept for low-e storm windows dates back to the late 1990’s. In the early 2000’s, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) funded research which demonstrated that highly engineered storm windows could incorporate many of the same technological advancements being offered in new windows. Most importantly, these high-tech storm windows could provide equivalent and sometimes even better performance as compared to replacement windows, and typically at a substantially lower cost. As buildings account for approximately 49% of the total energy consumed in the United States, the DOE was seeking to find innovative approaches to reduce building energy use, especially for older buildings where the existing windows would not or could not be replaced.

In 2009, QUANTA Technologies was founded with a mission and a passion to bring this technology to the market. The young company designed and launched their first product, the QUANTAPANEL 500 Series Architectural Low-e Storm Window System. The initial product offering integrated architectural features and performance technology into the old fashioned storm window, and for the first time ever, gave consumers the ability to retain their original windows while achieving nearly equivalent performance to that of a modern replacement window.
