Window Shopping Tips

Nothing Outperforms Low E⁴ Tri-Shield  from Atlas.

No other insulating glass system has all the features of Low E⁴ Tri-Shield.

Regardless of where you live, choosing your windows is one of the most important decisions you’ll make whether you are building or remodeling your home. Choosing the right glass system for your windows should be the most important factor in that decision for several reasons.

Our glass provides years of comfort and protection from not only the heat and cold of the outside, but also the effects of harmful UV rays on your furniture, fabrics, flooring, walls and wood trim. You will also see the immediate benefits of saving money on your energy bills.

Save Money with Lower Thermostat Settings

Low E⁴ Tri-Shield triple pane insulated glass separates heat from cold so no matter the season you save energy and reduce your heating and cooling bills.  Low E⁴ Tri-Shield adds 188% more insulating power than clear insulated glass and almost doubles the insulation value of most Low E/Argon filled insulated double-pane units, so you can keep your home cold with less energy.

Protect Your Furniture, Fabrics, Flooring, Walls and Wood

Low E⁴ Tri-Shield blocks out up to 94% of the sun’s fabric fading and deteriorating infrared and ultraviolet solar-energy, protecting drapes, upholstery and carpeting, and cabinetry from costly fading and deteriorating.

Reduce Noise

Low E⁴ Tri-Shield features 3 panes of American made float glass with 2 separate air spaces filled with Argon gas.  This creates the most quiet windows possible.

Increase Security

Three pieces of American-made Float glass makes “breaking in” through windows a difficult job. We offer several security features in addition to the multiple panes of glass to protect your family and your possessions.

When it comes to savings and comfort there really is only one clear choice: Low E⁴ Tri-Shield from Atlas.

In the home, windows provide valuable natural light.  Yet, they also can account for up to 30% of the year-round energy consumption.

The Low E⁴ Tri-Shield from Atlas gives you year-round energy savings and comfort by helping to manage the sun’s energy and the heating system energy in your home.  Low E⁴ glass products are coated with microscopically-thin, optically-transparent layers of silver, laminated between layers of antireflective metal-oxide coatings.  These “smart” coatings provide optimal, year-round, energy-saving benefits by selectively filtering the sun’s heat-generating energy during the summer and reducing heat loss in the winter.

Winter Energy Efficiency

Low E⁴ glass products maximize useable winter daytime solar gains while significantly reducing nighttime winter heat loss.  Therefore, in the winter, Low E⁴ glass products offer greater comfort and reduced heating costs by reflecting room-side heat back into the room.

Summer Energy Efficiency

For many home owners, the greatest energy cost-savings can be achieved by reducing the amount of time their air conditioner is running.  In the summer, Low E⁴ glass products let in visible sunlight while blocking the infrared and ultraviolet solar-energy that drives up cooling cost and damages curtains, window treatments, carpeting and furnishings. Your sunny rooms stay cool and the things you touch such as your furniture stay cool so you are living in full comfort.
