Read more about glass technologies and performance ratings below.

Modern windows from the Weather Shield Company feature advanced glass technologies to maximize energy performance.

Technologies include:

• Low-E coatings: Which reflect heat back inside the home during winter and reduce heat gain during summer.
  Argon gas: Built into the window seals, this improves insulation and protects the glass pane from developing condensation (fogginess).
• Thermal breaks: These insulating barriers within the frame reduce heat and cold conduction.
  For Illinois homeowners, these qualities can reduce drafts, prevent window condensation, and lower energy bills.

When shopping for new windows, you’ll come across a range of performance ratings.

Here’s a quick guide to what they mean:

• U-factor: The lower the number, the better the insulation. This rating measures how well a window prevents heat loss.
• Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): Lower levels reduce heat inside the home in summer, while moderate levels help homes stay warm in winter by capitalizing on sun rays.
• ENERGY STAR® compliance: With this certification, the window meets efficiency standards set for your climate zone, offering optimal heating and cooling for both seasons.

To protect your windows and ensure they deliver maximum performance, invest in professional installation services and good maintenance.

Combined, these protect your warranties and ensure your windows last.
