ENERGY EFFICIENT GLAZING OPTIONS

ROSS Windows offers a variety of glazing options to keep your home cosy and comfortable. Dual seal thermal glazing is a time proven winner which will give you years of trouble free service. High performance glazing options further increase your energy efficiency reducing energy costs.

Energy Advantage Low-E
Energy Advantage Low-E glass is a high performance, energy efficient window glass made with an invisible coating that blocks heat flow. Ordinary clear glass allows heat to pass through it. Since heat always flows toward cold, in winter, inside heat flows to the outdoors. And in summer, heat from the outside flows through your windows into the cooler interior.

This special coating helps separate heat from cold, so you save on energy costs year round. In winter, heat stays inside, where you want it, to keep you warm. Energy Advantage Low-E glass is 2 1/2 times better than ordinary glass at keeping heat inside in winter. In summer, it helps keep heat outside, so you can stay more comfortable.

Because Energy Advantage Low-E helps keep the inside glass warmer, you can enjoy a more comfortable humidity level. This greatly reduces condensation and fogging on your windows, so you don't have to wipe off windows and sills, or worry about moisture damaging the interior of you home.

Damaging UV rays are also reduced, helping protect your interior drapes, upholstery and carpet from early fading. See also "Everything you wanted to know about Low-E glass"

Energy Advantage Low-E with Argon Gas
In a thermal unit with Low-E and Argon, the argon gas replaces the air inside the unit. Because it is heavier than air and is not in continuous motion like air, the transference of heat and cold (convection) is greatly reduced. Combined with Low-E, the Argon gas provides extra insulation and you get a very energy efficient window.

Other Options
To reduce solar heat gain you can select grey or bronze tinted glass and for privacy choose obscure glass. Single glazing is also available if required.
