Conserve More Energy With Insulated Glass†
For most homeowners, lowering fuel costs for heating and cooling is a key motivation for purchasing new windows. Windows are roughly 80% glass, so it’s important to choose a high-performance glass system for your home and specific climate conditions. Signature Elite windows are built with a dual-pane insulating glass unit with double-strength glass. Upgrading your windows with a Low-E (low-emissivity) glass system†† will further increase the overall energy efficiency. Low-E glass features a virtually clear, metallic coating that acts as a thermal mirror, reflecting radiant heat back into your home during winter and reducing unwanted solar energy in the summer.

Winter Energy Savings: Low-E insulating glass reduces heat loss by reflecting warm air back into your home. |
Insulated Glass Packages
