Most windows are about 80% glass, so you’ll want to carefully select your glass system to ensure maximum energy savings. High performance Low E glass package combines multilayered, low-emissivity (Low E) glass, argon gas, and the PPG Intercept Warm-Edge Spacer system for increased energy efficiency compared to a standard clear glass unit. Low-E also minimizes damaging UV rays that cause interior furnishings and carpets to fade.

The Low E, Clima-Tech Elite Glass packages have proven to be far more effective than ordinary clear glass units. The lower the U-Factor, the less energy you’ll need to heat your home. The lower the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), the more you’ll conserve on air-conditioning during the hot Tucson summer months.

The Clima-Tech Elite Glass we install have almost three times the U-Factor and half the SHGC as typical double pane windows and offering energy savings with cooler summers and warmer winters.
