Almost 3/4 of total heat loss in a standard window occurs because the warm inner pane of a double glazed window readily emits heat to the cooler outside pane.

LowE glass disrupts that transfer of heat loss and improves the insulating value in the winter by approximately 50%. LowE glass also reduces solar heat gain in the summer by the same amount, approximately 50% over standard clear glass. These energy savings will contribute significantly at reducing energy costs.

LowE glass also filters out nearly twice as much of the damaging UV radiation than clear glass, helping to prevent fading to draperies, flooring and furnishings.

LowE glass will not just save you money, it will help to maintain a uniform comfort level throughout your home all year long.

As of March 2007 the Ontario Building Code was changed to include LowE Glass & Argon Gas in all windows and sliding doors for New Home Construction.

The air is removed from between the panes of glass in a sealed unit and replaced with Argon Gas which is a clear, odorless inert gas that reduces conduction heat loss, and has a lower conductivity than air which also reduces heat transfer by approximately 30%, thus improving the U-Value and energy efficiency of the sealed unit. Argon Gas also reduces convection losses because it is heavier than air and it will suppress gas movement between the panes of glass, again resulting in higher energy efficiency.

As of September 1st, 2010 Vinylguard’s standard insulated glass offering will include Super Spacer.

Edgetech’s Super Spacer technology is a dual-seal system that is known in the industry for its exceptional lifespan, effective thermal performance, as well as flexibility for units of all shapes and sizes.

The structural adhesive plus perimeter edge moisture vapor seal equals the most reliable insulating glass unit on the market today. Vinylguard’s window and patio door systems will feature this industry leading spacer system.

Features:

Less-conductive spacer provides optimized energy savings

Enhances environmental comfort and health near windows

Fights condensation and mold like no other spacer

More durable spacer creates a more sustainable window

White Super Spacer finish complements the attractive appearance of Vinylguard’s window systems

Triple glazing utilizes three panes of glass with two cavities separating them, this offers a tremendous rise in energy efficiency by reducing thermal transfer and condensation. Triple glazing will out perform conventional double glazed units by 50%.

Frosted (obscure) glass offers privacy for bathrooms or basements while allowing sunlight in.

Tinted glass in bronze or grey will help to prevent glare and reflect some heat while still allowing the sunlight in. Tinted glass is used mainly for cosmetic reasons and not efficiency levels.

Vinylguard offers custom hand crafted decorative glass for windows including leaded, stained, beveled and iron glass in a wide variety of finishes and glass types.

Let your imagination run wild, give us the design and let Vinylguard build you a masterpiece.

Tempered glass is approximately 10X stronger against impact than conventional glass. If broken, tempered glass will shatter into very small fragments reducing the chance of personal injury dramatically. For any reason if the location of a window is a safety factor tempered glass may be the solution needed for peace of mind.
