When the weather turns bitterly cold in Canada, LoĒ-180ESC™ glass is like a warm welcome to your home. LoĒ-180ESC™ is an update of our successful LoĒ-180™ glass and is designed to help meet the new performance requirements for ENERGY STAR® Canada in 2020. It keeps homes warmer and more comfortable by blocking heat loss to the outside and letting the sun’s heat stream in. With a glass U-Factor of just 0.26 and an SHGC of 0.71, LoĒ-180ESC™ is the ideal product for passive solar applications in Canada.
LoĒ-272™ glass is ideal for all weather conditions in most climates. In winter, it reflects heat back into rooms. In summer, its patented coating blocks 86% of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays and 63% of the sun’s heat. During cold weather, the insulating effect of your windows has a direct impact on how your rooms feel. Typically, 75% of the exposed surface of a window is glass, and the temperature of the room-side of the glass directly affects the air temperature in the room. The better insulated the window glass, the warmer your room will be.
The new i-89™ coating will be found on the inside surface (room side) where it reflects the escaping heat back into the room, lowering U-factors and meeting the toughest energy guidelines as well. Coupled with our LoĒ-180ESC™ and argon fill, this double pane unit delivers near triple pane performance. What’s more, i-89™ enhanced performance glass is easy to clean and there is no haze to mar the view allowing more light to come into the room.
LoĒ -366 delivers the perfect balance of solar control and high visible light transmission. This coating is designed to be in a double-pane or triple-pane insulating glass unit. It will provide comfort and energy savings during hot weather days and provide a great thermal insulating quality by preventing heat to conduct through the insulating glass unit. It also blocks 95% of UV light infiltration
At Window City our double-pane windows can be filled with argon gas to help insulate a room and minimize the transfer of heat through the window. Argon Gas is a colourless, odorless gas, that is denser than air thus adding it to the captive air in double-pane windows improves thermal insulation efficiency. Installing argon gas-filled windows can help improve your energy efficiency and lower your home energy costs.
Why choose one? Window City introduces an optimal combination of Argon/Krypton Mix to increase the energy efficiency of your windows. This combined duo also significantly reduces outside sound, adding to the privacy of your home.
Applying a Low-e coating to the exterior glass allows the sealed unit to substantially increase its performance. In the summer, the Low-E coating reflects the heat to the exterior of the home and keeps the cool air inside. In the winter, the low-e coating keeps the heat inside and reflects the cold outside, dramatically increasing your comfort and reducing your energy usage.
Triple pane sealed units incorporate an additional piece of low-e coated glass, an additional spacer and more argon gas than a double pane sealed unit. These additions increase the energy efficiency of your windows considerably, increasing your comfort while lowering your heating and cooling costs. The investment in a triple pane window leads to lower greenhouse gas emissions, lower bills and better comfort in your home.
