Low-E GlassLow-E glass is brilliantly engineered to minimize the amount of UV rays and unwanted temperatures into your home.
Warm-Edge SpacerIntercept™ warm-edge spacer insulates the exterior edges of a sealed unit and can tack on 5% savings on monthly energy costs.
Vinyl FramingVinyl window frames are constructed with a complex array of compartments to help trap and repel unwanted weather.
Innovative WeatherstrippingAirtight weatherstripping seals the sides, top and bottom frames of your door to prevent air infiltration.
Insulated CoreInsulated polyurethane core provides an additional thermal barrier.
Sturdy FramesComposite frames resist rotting, rusting and warping to withstand constant exposure to the elements.
Energy-Saving Door LitesDecorative and ENERGY STAR-compliant door lites that allow light in but keep the elements out.
Insulated StructureBuilt with rigid foam insulation to reduce energy loss and reinforce the siding for smoothness and straight lines.
Energy-Saving BarriersHigh-density insulation to minimize outdoor noise for a quieter indoor ambiance and loss of wanted heat or air.
Built to LastFully rolled over, double-thick nail hem anchors panels to the wall; tested to withstand harsh weather.
With potential energy savings of as much as 35%, Window World Windows with the SolarZone™ Insulated Glass Package is the most energy-efficient product on the market! Massive heating and cooling savings come from improved glass performance. The combination of UV-filtering Low-E glass (LG), insulating argon and the Intercept™ warm-edge spacer system is the perfect energy-efficient package. All combined, this system can reduce the harsh effects the Texas sun can have on your carpets, curtains and furniture, and help sustain comfortable temperatures in your home—no matter the season.
 In winter, a warmer glass temperature is maintained, increasing the R-value by an additional 104%. |
 In summer, a 48% reduction in solar heat gain helps cut air conditioning costs. |
When comparing the two thermography images, the difference is obvious. The window on the left is a clear insulated glass unit. The heat transmittance, indicated by the green, yellow and orange colors from the heat scale, is far inferior to that of the window containing the Solarban® 60 Low-E insulated glass unit (right).
ENERGY STAR is a government-sanctioned symbol for energy efficiency, credibility, sustainability and cost-savings for the consumer. Browse below to explore what’s required to become ENERGY STAR-certified and what it looks like in your region of the country.
U-Factor measures the rate at which heat flows through an object. The lower your U-value, the less heat your windows allow through them.
R-Value determines how well the insulation inside your window is performing. The higher your R-value, the better insulated your window is.
Window World of Dallas-Fort Worth is located in ENERGY STAR’s South-Central Climate category. To maintain certification here, our windows and doors must maintain a U-Value of ≤ .30 and an R-Factor from 13 to 21.
Low-E glass is a type of glass that has been treated with a microscopic, metallic coating designed to filter certain types of light into your home. The glass blocks heat gain from the sun’s reflected rays in warmer months and allows warmth from the sun’s shorter rays to flow into your home during cooler seasons.
Our UV-filtering Low-E glass (LG) can improve the energy performance of your window over the course of a year by 24%, when compared to a standard glass unit.
Our Intercept™ warm-edge spacer system is a new-age technology used to extend the shelf-life of window glass by reducing condensation build-up and edge-to-glass temperatures. Designed to seal in escaping heat, this spacer system is the most effective of its kind.
The Intercept™ warm-edge spacer system can add another 5% in energy efficiency and savings.
Argon is a colorless, odorless and nonreactive insulating property with extremely high density and extremely low thermal conductivity, making it an ideal agent for year-round comfort.
Argon gas filling, a superior insulator to normal air, can increase the efficiency by up to 6%.
Energy efficiency should be on the minds of every Texas homeowner. At Window World of Dallas-Fort Worth, we combine Low-E and standard insulating glass to better block the outside temperature from coming inside your home. This innovative design keeps you and your family comfortable all year while lowering your energy bills month after month.
