Glass and Performance

Comfort you can feel in every room.

Energy-efficient windows combine insulating glass, low-E coatings, gas fills and tight frames to hold heat in or out and cut drafts, cold spots and glare.

  • Glass: Double-pane, low-E, gas fill
  • Ratings: U-factor and solar heat gain

The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

Efficiency comes from layers: two panes with a gas fill between them, a thin low-E coating, a warm-edge spacer, an insulated frame and a tight installation. Each layer slows heat flow, so rooms stay steadier and equipment works less.

We explain the ratings on the label, including U-factor and solar heat gain, in plain terms and choose a package for your climate and each wall's sun. Our Glass Lab lets you compare options before you decide.

Why people choose it

Four things done right.

Matched to each wall

South and west walls need different glass.

Tight installation

Gaps ruin a good window, so we insulate them.

Good questions

Energy-Efficient Windows: common questions

How much will efficient windows save?

It depends on your climate, old windows and house. Our Glass Lab gives a rough, honest estimate, and we do not promise exact savings.

What do U-factor and SHGC mean?

U-factor measures how well a window holds heat, and lower is better. Solar heat gain measures how much sun heat passes in, and the right number depends on your climate.

How do I get an estimate for energy-efficient windows?
