There are lots of Glazing options to choose from. Choose the order you would like the Energy Ratings to be sorted by (Whichever order is most important to you):

  1. Use for passive solar applications or where heating load reduction is the priority
  2. Use where thermal comfort is the priority
  3. Use where cooling load reduction is the priority

See the American Recommendations (Energy Star) for thermal performance and compare them to the values below!

The Fine Print:

* Glass Code

  • 1st digit – number of layers of glazing
  • 2nd digit – number of SuperSpacers
  • 3rd digit – number of Low-e coatings and argon gas fills (assumed 90%argon, 10%air)

The number after the Low e manufacturer’s name shows the location of the Low e coatings – surface #1 is the exterior surface.

Window Properties were determined by FRAMEplus5.1, which incorporates VISION.

U-values that conform to ISO 15099 (used in Europe), are typically 10% lower than those stated above and are available on request.

Other types of Low e glass are available on a custom or project basis.
