A recurring problem with residential windows is that letting sunlight in gradually fades fabrics, books, and just about anything exposed to it for extended periods of time. This meant limited window treatment choices and furniture placement.
At Renewal by Andersen®, we completely understand how this can be limiting, so for your next window replacement project, consider our exceptional glass packages.
What Your Window Glass Should Be
Glass is a naturally conductive material and can make itself an indoor heating and cooling problem if installed as a single panel. With today’s increasing energy costs, energy-efficient windows have become more of a necessity than a luxury. That’s why all our High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass options feature a dual-panel design. By having a vacuum airspace between two glass panels, there would be no air molecules for heat to transfer to, effectively creating an insulating layer.
That’s just one part of the story. Sunlight has invisible components like infrared and UV rays, both of which you can certainly do without. Since both are forms of light, they easily go through clear glass, dual panel design notwithstanding. Infrared rays are a source of heat while UV rays cause our aforementioned problem: faded indoor fabrics, furniture, and framed art. UV rays also make it unsafe to stay under a bow and bay window for extended periods of time due to potential skin problems it may cause.
Renewal by Andersen Glass Options
To counter these problems, all our replacement windows are installed with High-Performance Low-E4 glass options that feature spectrally selective low emissivity coatings, which reflect infrared and UV rays while admitting unimpeded natural light. We offer two glass packages:
High-Performance Low-E4 Glass – Our standard glass package features up to 45% more energy efficiency in winter, and up to 56% energy efficiency during summer, compared to other dual panel windows in the market. Our exclusive Low-E4® coating reflects up to 84% of UV rays.
High-Performance Low-E4 SmartSun™ Glass – Our most energy-efficient glass package features up to 47% energy efficiency during winter, 70% energy efficiency during summer, and can reflect up to an amazing 95% of UV rays. You can install the most vibrant curtains on your windows and not worry about fading at all.
