The simple answer is our use of Low-E, argon-filled glass. But what the heck does that mean? LOW-E Low-E glass uses an atom's thick silver coating on the inside of the glass and works like a heat reflecting mirror, bouncing heat back toward the direction it came from. In the hot summer months, Low-E reflects heat back to the outside of your home, keeping your house cooler. During long, cold winters, Low-E reflects back toward the inside of your home, keeping you and your family warmer. Low-E coatings also protect your home’s interior from sun damage. It drastically reduces the fading of any carpet, wood, furniture, and drapes. All Energy Swing Windows have Low-E coatings. ARGON High-performing insulated glass units replace the air space between the two panes of glass with a lower conductivity gas, such as argon. This helps to reduce the transfer of heat because argon is more dense than oxygen and slows the conductivity of hot and cold air. Ultimately, this feature helps lower the cost of your energy bills each month. Whether you’re getting new windows or simply replacing the glass in your current ones, these are two features you should look for in your new glass. They’re energy efficient and, hey, energy efficiency saves you money in the long run.
