R-Value Requirements

R-Value determines how well the insulation inside your window performs. The higher your R-value, the better insulated your window is.

  • Northern: 13 – 21
  • North-Central: 13 – 21
  • South-Central: 13 – 21
  • Southern: 13 – 21
U-Value

U-Factor Requirements

U-Factor measures the rate at which heat flows through an object. The lower your U-value, the less heat your windows allow through them.

  • Northern: ≤ .27

Energy Efficiency Terms You Need to Know

Low-E Glass

Low-E (low-emissivity) glass features a microscopic metallic coating that filters incoming light. It blocks unwanted heat gain in the summer while allowing beneficial solar warmth in the winter—boosting energy efficiency and reducing utility costs.

Warm-Edge Spacer System

This innovative technology minimizes condensation and reduces edge-to-glass heat loss. By sealing in heat, warm-edge spacers enhance window performance and longevity, making them a popular choice for energy-efficient installations.

Argon Gas

Argon is a colorless, odorless, nonreactive gas with high density and low thermal conductivity. When placed between window panes, it acts as an insulating barrier—improving thermal performance and ensuring year-round comfort.
