A window’s energy efficiency is measured through a number of factors. Aside from the material itself, however, your choice in glass also affects your window’s overall energy efficiency. At Renewal by Andersen®, we provide several glass options for our windows in Cheyenne, WY.
This is our standard glass option that comes in all our windows and doors. It provides up to 45% more energy efficiency during the winter, keeping the heat in effectively. Meanwhile, it can offer up to 56% more energy efficiency than traditional glass options during the summer. In addition, it also blocks up to 84% of harmful UV rays, protecting your drapes, decor, and furniture from damage.
The solar heat gain coefficient measures the amount of solar radiation that comes in through the window. This is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. Our Sun glass features the best rating against solar heat gain, providing a cool atmosphere in your interior during summer. In addition, this glass option features a tint coating that reduces the amount of sunshine coming in your casement window in Douglas, WY, keeping your home cooler.
Lastly, our most energy efficient option is our SmartSun™ glass. It has our highest energy efficiency rating in all weather conditions, helping you cut back on excessive energy use, leading to lower bills. Our SmartSun glass also blocks up to 95% of UV rays, while still letting in a healthy amount of natural lighting.
Each glass option offers a solution depending on the type of climate you live in, as well as the architectural style of your home, and your window’s orientation to the sun. Renewal by Andersen of Wyoming offers these glass options for all our doors and windows, such as our double hung windows in Gillette, WY.
