Low E Glass Storm Windows

And we manufacture more than just plain old storm windows.

Low e glass storm windows.

The storm window study says that people can save 4 27 in heating and cooling costs with low e storm windows. But the old window article says that people can only save 1 4 of their heating and cooling costs by replacing all of their windows. All types of storm windows mentioned above should be available with low emissive low e glass to achieve even greater energy efficiency. Over 800 000 homes annually have storm windows installed 1 with virtually all having clear uncoated glass reducing the heating load by only 13 with a 10 year simple payback 2.

Keepsafe maximum glass is an effective barrier against forced entry. Starting at under 75 each with the discount low e storm windows are a cost effective solution to full window replacement. Older storm windows were typically just clear glass but newer low e models have a low e coating that lowers the emissivity of the glass and reduces heat transmission through the storm window. Storm windows are our passion at quanta technologies inc.

In addition to providing an extra layer of protection against damaging weather storm windows maximize energy efficiency lower utility costs reduce exterior noise for a quieter. Climate change in the world is characterized by variations in the weather. Reinforced profiles add strength and durability. When attached over existing windows low e storm windows have proven to offer similar energy saving performance to energy star certified replacement windows but for less than half the cost.

Energy efficient glass options. Uncoated glass typically has an emissivity of around 0 84 while low e coated glass can have an emissivity of 0 16 or lower. Low e glass is window glass that s been treated with an invisible metal or metallic oxide coating creating a surface that reflects heat while allowing light to pass through. In a recent chicago study low e storm windows showed marked improvement over the clear glass benefits amounting to an average of 21 heat load reduction and an average payback of 4 5 years 2.

It is important to check the quality of our storm windows and before buying new ones it is necessary to consider the performances which condition the resistance of the joinery to the force of the wind and those which must prevent the infiltration of the wind. Our igs low e storm windows have been developed to be efficient architectural and much more affordable than replacement windows. Custom storm windows have a rigid multi chambered construction and an impact resistant glass that features a layer of transparent polymer between two sheets of glass. In fact we like to refer to our product as an insulated glass system igs.
