Low 'E' Glass and Argon
Energy Efficient Solutions for Replacement Windows
Thermal
performance of insulated glass
units is accomplished by reducing the conductivity of the air between the
layers. Argon is nontoxic, clear, and odorless gas that provides extra insulation.
Since argon is heavier than air rather than being in continuous motion like
air, it greatly reduces the transferrence of heat and cold through glass
window panes.

Energy efficient Low-E ("Low-emissivity") coated glass can make a dramatic difference in energy savings and comfort. Typically, Low-E coated double-paned glass is filled with harmless Argon to increase energy efficiency and decrease heat conductivity.
-
Cooler in Summer. The total solar energy transmitted through Low-E glass is almost 50% less than standard insulating glass.
-
Transmits Visible Light. About 88% of desirable visible light transmitted through this glass allows the exterior appearance to be similar to clear glass while providing glare control in bright, sunny climates.
-
Reduces Ultraviolet Energy. Low-E glass helps protect interior furnishings, fabrics and carpets from fading.
-
Warmer in Winter. The insulating value reduces heat loss and heating costs in cold winter climates.
