Low-E and Argon Gas for Energy Efficient Windows


What is Low E and Argon Gas and why is it important for windows?

Low-E stands for low emissivity and is a new advancement in glass technology. Low E is composed of  transparent layers of metal oxide, that is then applied to the glass of the windows. In warmer temperatures, Low E helps to protect you from excess heat and harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun, therefore keeping your home cooler. In colder temperatures, the Low E coating allows heat rays from the sun to pass through, helping to warm your home. Regardless of the outside temperature, Low E glass helps reduce the costs needed to heat or cool your home.

Argon gas is a colorless, odorless gas found in our atmosphere. Argon gas is denser than air therefore, by replacing the air inside of the sealed insulating glass window with Argon, the gas provides better insulation for your home.
