What Is Low-Emissivity?

The ability of a material to radiate an amount of energy in relation to its environment is known as emissivity. Typically, a low-emissivity material is better in keeping heat from entering or escaping your home. Choosing windows with low-emissivity glass can make your home more comfortable because low-emissivity windows can minimize the amount of heat passing through the windows in winter and summer.

What Is Low-Emissivity Glass?

Our Andersen windows make the best alternative to vinyl windows because they are incredibly energy-efficient. They all come with low-emissivity glass that lessens the amount of heat that can get through your window. They have a special glass coating on both sides of the glass that reflects heat and an insulating gas between the window panes to improve their insulating capacity.

When you get your Andersen windows, you can choose from a wide variety of insulating glass packages. The Andersen Corporation offers glass packages for all kinds of climates. Glass packages include Low-E/Low-E4® Glass, PassiveSun® Glass, Sun Glass and SmartSun™ Glass. For E-Series and A-Series windows, you can also choose triple-pane glass for maximum energy efficiency.
