20 High-Performance Glass...Which is best for your home? Windows provide many great benefits, but did you know they can also account for up to 30% of the annual energy consumed in a home? Glass makes up almost 80% of a window and largely dictates how that window will perform. So, it s important to choose the right glass package when replacing windows in your home. Thermal Industries offers you multiple insulating glass upgrades. Each grade provides you with different levels of energy savings on your utility bills plus enhanced ultraviolet protection and improved interior comfort. Your authorized Dealer can help you choose a glass package that s right for your climate. Low-E Glass Coatings How They Work Low-E Glass allows natural light to freely enter your home as shown in the diagram below. During winter months, long wave heat energy radiating from indoor objects is reflected back into the house, keeping your home warm while lowering heating costs. In the summer, outdoor long-wave heat energy radiating from objects, is reflected back outside, lowering cooling costs. It also reduces the harmful effects of ultra-violet rays by minimizing fading of your carpet and draperies. Warm-Edge Spacers In winter, our insulating glass spacer systems keep the edges of the glass warmer, dramatically reducing condensation while holding warm air in and cold air out (Diagram B). The sealant systems flex with the glass during extreme temperature swings to help prevent seal failure (Diagram C). Diagram B Warm Edge Spacers block heat escape paths. Insulating Gases Insulating gases, such as Argon or Krypton, are added to the air spaces in our glass units. Both gases are denser than air and prevent the formation of convection air currents, reducing heat transfer between the inside and outside of your home. This improves your home s comfort while lowering your heating and cooling bills. Diagram C shows the flexibility of the Super Spacer technology and sealant system used in our triple pane glass systems and how it reacts during temperature changes. 20

The first performance rating is the U-Factor. U-Factor measures heat transfer through a window and tells you how well the window insulates. The lower the U-Factor, the better the window insulates. For example, during cooler months, the lower a window s overall U-Factor, the less heat you will lose through that window, and the less energy will be needed to heat your home. The second performance rating is the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). This measures how much solar heat is admitted into your home through the window, and tells you how well the window blocks heat caused by sunlight. The lower the SHGC, the better the window is at blocking heat. During summer months, a lower SHGC means less solar radiation enters through your windows, keeping your home cooler, and saving you money on air conditioning costs.
