Comfort
In the hotter months, strong direct sunlight strikes people and interior surfaces, creating overheating and discomfort. Windows with low solar heat gain coefficients will reduce the solar radiation coming through the glass and associated discomfort. Low solar heat gain low-E glass (low emissive) reduces heat gain while still providing sufficient light and view.*
Significant noise reduction can also be obtained by reducing the transfer of sound from the outside to the inside.

Save
In climates that mainly require cooling, windows have represented a major source of unwanted heat gain. In recent years, windows have undergone a technological revolution. It is now possible to significantly reduce solar heat gain and improve comfort while providing clear views and daylight. In warm regions, this means that high performance windows can face into the sun if desired without great energy penalties — although shading techniques remain important.*
Because the frames we use are up to 4.5 times more energy efficient than standard aluminium-framed windows, you’ll also slash your annual power bill by up to 90%. You’ll add value to your home and future-proof it against rising energy prices.

Durable and Sustainable
The new coatings on energy efficient windows block out the harmful ultraviolet rays that cause fading. Coatings on the E-glass can reduce the UV rays by 98 percent. This will save material and wood from losing their bright original colours.
The products we use are recyclable and environmentally conscious products without lead.
