When it comes to keeping your home comfortable and energy-efficient, installing the right kind of window can make all the difference. And, thanks to advances in modern technology, windows are more efficient than ever. One exciting advance is Low-E glass. Let’s explore the top 4 benefits of Low-E glass and why it’s a game-changer for your window replacement.
What is Low-E glass?
Low-E (or low emissivity) glass has been treated with a special microscopically thin coating that reflects infrared and ultraviolet light away, while allowing visible light to pass through. That way you can enjoy natural lighting and beautiful scenery without letting too much heat through.
Low-E glass is available in the Michigan Window – a cutting-edge window specially designed to combat our coldest winters and the hottest summers in order to keep your home cozy and comfortable all year long.
1: Superior Insulation
One of the main benefits of Low-E glass is its superior insulation properties. More effective than simple double-glazing, Low-E glass specializes in reducing heat transfer both in and out of your home. This means that your house stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer, reducing the need for your heating and cooling systems to work overtime.
2: Works in All Climates
Another advantage of Low-E glass is its versatility. Michigan weather can get pretty extreme, with scorching highs and frigid lows. But, by reflecting heat away from your home during summer and retaining warmth during winter, Low-E glass ensures your home’s comfort, no matter the season.
3: Protects from Harmful UV Rays
Low-E glass also offers protection from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. These rays can cause furniture, carpets, and artwork to fade over time. By blocking up to 99% of UV rays, Low-E glass helps to preserve your home’s interior while still providing a crisp, clear view of the great outdoors.
4: Reduces Energy Costs
Thanks to its high level of efficiency, Low-E glass can significantly reduce the amount of warmth that escapes your home during the winter and minimize heat gain in the summer. Which means you can save money on your heating and cooling bills, enhancing your home’s overall energy efficiency.
The Cutting Edge of Window Technology
If you’re looking for a way to improve your home’s comfort and energy efficiency, consider upgrading to the Michigan Window, which features Low-E glass. With benefits like superior insulation, UV protection, and long-term energy savings, it’s a smart choice for homeowners.
