Low Emissivity Glass (Low-E) 

Low-E glass has a special coating designed to reduce the amount of heat that passes through it. This coating reflects heat back to its source, which can help keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in winter.

Argon Gas

Thermal Spacer

Argon gas is used as an insulator to create an additional barrier. Improving thermal performance.

 

Low-E coating designed to reduce the amount of heat that passes through and reflects heat back to its source.

A warm edge spacer that bonds the two panes of glass together. A secondary sealant creates an airtight seal, ensuring the best retention of argon gas.

U-Values

A U-Value measures the rate at which heat travels through a building material such as a double glazed unit. The lower the U-Value, the better the insulation performance.
