What does this mean for you?
By choosing energy-efficient entry and sliding glass doors, your home will become more comfortable while requiring less energy and cost for heating and cooling. You can trust in this performance thanks to the rigorous testing our products undergo and the various energy efficiency standards they adhere to. There is a wealth of information available to help you determine if your selected entry or patio door is energy-efficient, including the U-Factor and other measurements. Read on to discover how you can ensure that you are considering highly energy-efficient entry doors and sliding glass doors.
Energy Star® Certification
Insulated Glass Unit
ProVia offers multiple “glass packages,” combinations of window glass construction, energy-efficient coatings and insulation, to provide varying levels of energy efficiency, in part, to meet ENERGY STAR standards for different regions. Here are the components that make up an insulated glass unit:
- Low-E Glass – Special coatings that reflect infrared light, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. These low-E coatings also reflect ultraviolet light, which helps protect interior furnishings from fading. ProVia offers additional UV-protective coatings as well, though these may not be good options for homeowners with house plants as additional UV coatings will block rays vital for plants.
- Multiple Panes – Two panes of glass with an air or gas-filled space in the middle insulate much better than a single pane. And, three units are better than two. ProVia offers glass packages with two and three panes.
- Gas Fills – Energy-efficient argon or krypton gas between the panes. These odorless, colorless, non-toxic gases insulate better than air.
- Super Spacer® – A warm edge spacer keeps the glass panes the correct distance apart. ProVia’s Super Spacer, a non-metallic, dual-seal insulating glass spacer, insulates the pane edges, reduces heat transfer through the window and offers the lowest U-Factor among dual-seal systems. Super Spacer performed the best among other dual- and single-seal units in the world’s toughest IG (insulating glass) durability test.
