Low emissivity glass (emissivity is the rate at which heat leaves a building), commonly known as ‘Low-E’ has a lower rate of heat-loss than non Low-E glass. A clear micro metallic coating is applied to an inside surface of a double glazed unit. It works by reflecting heat back into your home, and equally reflecting excessive solar heat out of your home.

Retrofit double glazing requires minimal maintenance here are some general tips to keep in mind. Regular cleaning Clear drainage channels Painting touch ups for timber windows

Safety glass is heat treated/strengthened, into a form that reduces the likelihood of injury to persons by the glass should it be broken by human contact. Laminated glass is two panes of glass with a film layer in between them and can also be used as safety glass.

Argon gas is an inert, non-toxic gas that is more dense than oxygen. It is placed between glass panes in an insulated glass unit in order to slow the rate of heat loss.

Two panes of glass, separated by a thermally improved spacer and filled with argon gas. This provides another layer of insulation for your home, decreasing heat loss through your windows.
