Standard Options
Most people can enjoy optimal energy performance and comfort with one of two insulated glass types:
High-Performance Low-E4® Glass
Perfect for seasonal climates where both heating and cooling costs are a concern, our Low-E4 glass helps keep your home warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and blocks 84% of harmful UV rays.
High-Performance Low-E4® SmartSun Glass
For warmer climates, where you spend more of the year cooling instead of heating, SmartSun™ Glass delivers the best overall performance. One of our most energy efficient glass options, SmartSun glass meets our highest standards in cool weather performance, yet is exceptional in hot climates where the air conditioner struggles to keep up with the sun streaming in through the windows. Without tarnishing the view, SmartSun glass blocks 95% of harsh UV rays that not only heat up the room but can damage drapes, artwork and furniture
While those two glass options are excellent for most situations, we also offer two different options for our friends in more extreme climates:
High-Performance Low-E4® Sun Glass
For hot, dry climates with no shade and little cloud cover, our Low-E4 Sun Glass helps reduce cooling costs by filtering out heat from the sun. Utilizing a subtle tint to block out even more heat from the sun.
High-Performance Low-E4® SmartSun™ Glass with HeatLock® Technology
With this glass offering, you get all of the benefits of our Low-E4 SmartSun glass plus an energy-saving glass coating that reflects escaping heat back into the room, helping make your living space feel warmer and more comfortable.
Enhanced Triple Pane
High-Performance Enhanced Triple Pane Glass & Enhanced Triple Pane with SmartSun™ Glass
Enhanced Triple Pane Glass is a great choice for colder climates where more months of the year are spent heating the home. With Enhanced Triple Pane Glass, more heat is retained inside your home, while more cold air is kept out.
For those in hot, sunny climates, Enhanced Triple Pane with SmartSun™ Glass is an excellent energy-efficient glass option that doesn't change your view.
