Why Smart Homeowners Buy Windows With Pilkington Energy Advantage™ Low-E Glass
Reduction of Heat Loss in Winter. Energy Advantage™ Low-E Glass reduces heat loss to the cold outdoors by dramatically reducing radiant heat transfer and actually reflecting interior heat back into the room.
A Source of Free Energy. In addition to its low U-value, Pilkington Energy Advantage Low-E Glass is optimized for winter performance and has a high shading coefficient. Compared to other low-E glass products with lower shading coefficients, Pilkington Energy Advantage Low-E Glass allows more of the sun's rays to enter a home as solar energy to be converted into usable heat in winter.
Reduces Heat Gain in Summer. The same effect of keeping interior heat inside in the winter helps reduce the flow of hot outside air into the cooler interior in summer.
Lower Utility Bills.The bottom line is that Pilkington Energy Advantage Low-E Glass helps reduce the number of heating and cooling Btus needed to keep a house at a comfortable temperature. That means furnace and air-conditioning systems work less, and that can add up to significant energy savings.
Reduction of UV Rays. Pilkington Energy Advantage Low-E Glass significantly reduces transmission of the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays, one of the leading causes of premature fading and degradation of fabrics, upholstery and carpeting.

Minimized Condensation. Since Pilkington Energy Advantage Low-E Glass helps keep the inside glass surface temperature warmer, homeowners can enjoy a more comfortable, higher humidity level with greatly reduced condensation and fogging.
Larger Window Areas. Because Pilkington Energy Advantage Low-E Glass is an energy-efficient, high performance glass, architects, builders, and homeowners have the freedom to incorporate larger window and glass areas in their designs, without the resulting excessive energy costs.
