Energy-Efficient Glass, Part 1 Different Glass Technologies

Part 1: Different Glass Technologies

Glass is a significant part of your window’s energy efficiency. We make this possible through different technologies that work together for optimum energy savings:

 

Double Glazing

Double-pane windows perform better than single-pane options do. This type of window replacement in Toms River comes with two panes that have space between them. The distance between the panes are important in reducing heat loss.

Renewal by Andersen® optimizes this space so that your windows have the best thermal performance all year long. This way, you can ensure indoor comfort regardless of the season.

Spacer

They separate the glass panes and accommodate the stress due to thermal expansion and pressure differences. Spacers also create a tight seal that prevents loss of gas fillers. Renewal by Andersen windows have low-conductivity spacers made of stainless steel.

This type of spacer performs better compared with aluminum spacers. As it uses less material, it conducts less energy.

Glass Coating

All our window styles, including bow and bay window in Jackson, New Jersey, have coatings that improve visible light transfer and maintenance. On the outside, the glass has oxide coatings to make it easier to clean. This also reduces water spotting up to 99% when activated by sunlight. On the inside, the glass has a multi-layer low-E coating that reflects unwanted heat.

Argon Gas Blend

To improve energy efficiency even further, our windows have argon gas fills. This nontoxic and clear gas minimizes conduction and overall heat transfer between the glass panes. Renewal by Andersen uses argon gas for better thermal performance.

Dual Seals

We’ll use compressed butyl and specially formulated silicone to seal your windows. We remove the low-E coating around the embedded glass edge so that the sealant has a clean surface to attach onto. This process ensures longer life span for your windows, including a sliding window in Jackson, New Jersey. The seals also prevent any air leaks around your window frame.

With these technologies, our windows help you reduce energy consumption and lessen utility bills. Let Renewal by Andersen® of New Jersey-New York Metro help you create better homes.
