Glass Matters!
Pick the right glass options for your Dallas area home
When selecting the type and material of a window, it is best to consider the right glass system that has a combination of performance values to suit your home’s need. U-Value and Solar Heat Gain all play an important part and should be well-thought-of during the selection process.
Insulated Glass Units secure two or three panes of glass together into an airtight unit, utilizing SPACERS to hold the panes apart and seal them together at the same time. The other elements of an IG unit include Low-E coatings on the surfaces of the glass (to block certain IR and UV rays), and various INERT GASES (which are better insulators than air) used to fill the inside of the unit. Collectively, this combination of glass panes, Low-E coatings, gas fills and spacers enhance the energy performance of your windows.

They protect against noise, harmful UV rays, airborne debris and forced entry.
