Energy Efficient Glass Options
Windows were once made with a single pane of glass or, if you were lucky, you got storm windows to cover your prime windows. Then regular insulating glass was developed, which was followed more recently by advancements in glass coatings and window technology. Today, the availability of better glass systems and engineered window designs provides numerous possibilities for creating windows that meet specific needs.
If you live in an urban area where crime and noise are concerns, you can design your windows to deter intrusion. If your energy bills are going through the roof, you can select windows that keep heat in during the winter—and reflect outside heat away from your windows in the summer.
