The prime reason people get new windows is for their energy-efficiency benefits. However, what makes a window energy efficient in the first place? Although there are many factors that contribute to it, the prime reason is from the glass. There are different types of glasses that are engineered for different climates. This blog will go over the various glass packages available for contrasting climates and why window energy efficiency is in the glass!
Window Energy Efficiency is in The Glass
Elements such as the argon gas implemented between two-pane windows are important factors that make modern-day windows energy efficient. However, although many people may not know it, the type of window glass you have also plays a significant role in your window’s overall performance.

These guys are awesome. They did a coating on my house called “Texcote”. I love it. My house has never looked better. The crew was great. They were Clean on time and very nice, and after they finished, Renzo himself came back to do an inspection and check to see if I was happy. Not many companies do that. I thought that was great. Definitely will recommend them, and I will use them from now on for all my home improvement needs.
