What Can Glass Windows Do for Your Home?

Is your street noisy? How close are your neighbors? Do you live in a coastal area?
We have glass upgrades that can meet all these needs.

• INCREASE PRIVACY
  Increase privacy with options like patterned glass, blinds-between-the-glass, or art glass.
  
• REDUCE NOISE
  For a quieter home, consider windows with a STC (Sound Transmission Class) upgrade, triple-pane glass, or laminated glass.
  

GLASS TYPES
No matter the conditions in which you live, we have glass options that will optimize
the performance of your windows based on climate, location, and other needs.

• DUAL-PANE GLASS
  Dual-pane means there are two panes of uninterrupted
  glass with an air space in between. Combining this with the
  right type of climate-specific glass option meets the energy
  efficiency needs of most people. But when there’s a need
  to take performance to the next level, triple-pane windows
  are the answer.

• TRIPLE-PANE GLASS
  Triple-pane means there’s an extra pane of glass and an extra
  air space, making this our most energy-efficient glass option.
  In fact, some A-Series triple-pane windows are recognized as
  ENERGY STAR most efficient and certified to meet the rigorous
  level of energy efficiency required by the Passive House Institute
  U.S. Find triple-pane glass in our A- and E-Series product lines.

• ENERGY STAR®
  When you see this logo next to one of our windows, it’s an
  indication of energy efficiency. Energy-efficient windows
  help lower your heating and cooling costs. Meeting the strict
  performance requirements of ENERGY STAR certification
  requires using glass that will reduce the transfer of heat
  in your climate. Read more about climate-specific glass
  in the next section.
