Your windows are your home’s primary source of light, warmth, and ventilation. With the right specifications, they also contribute to energy efficiency. In fact, they can help you save up to 25% on your annual heating and cooling bills.
When it comes to choosing the best energy-efficient window for your needs, you’ll need to consider several factors. This includes low-emissivity (Low-E) glass. Renewal by Andersen® of Wyoming explains further:
What is Low-E Glass?
Low-E glass utilizes a microscopically thin metallic oxide layer incorporated in the glazing surface. This innovative coating helps minimize the transfer of heat through the window. Simply put, it helps keep your home cooler during summer and warmer during winter. It also creates a barrier against UV rays to maintain the beauty of your furnishings. This is usually used on double-pane windows with argon gas fills.
Different kinds of Low-E glass have been designed to ensure optimal efficiency for your home. In cold climates, the low-E coating is applied to the inner layer to keep warmth within your living space. On the other hand, in hot climates with west- or east-facing windows, it is applied to the outer layer of the glazing to block heat out. Whether you’re investing in casement or double hung windows, we can provide you with the perfect solution.
