- Standard 7/16” glass which equals higher energy savings
Most companies use 5/16” laminated glass on their standard units. Based on NFRC 2000-2001, the solar heat gain for 5/16” glass is 0.58, while our 7/16” glass produces a score of 0.50, or 14% lower. According to the electric companies, 60% of the average monthly home electric bill is for air conditioning and heat. Therefore, if you make no other changes except to install our 7/16” laminated glass windows and doors versus their 5/16” laminated glass windows and doors, your overall electric bill should be an additional 8.4% lower – which translates to one month of free electric per year!
That’s not a bad side benefit of choosing the most attractive and structurally sound windows and doors in the market.
