Are your windows letting you down? Do you feel drafts creeping in during the winter and scorching heat in summer? Drafty windows impact your comfort and drive up your energy bills. Fortunately, you don't always need a complete window replacement. All-West Glass, a trusted name in Edmonton and Northwestern Canada since 1971, offers advanced glazing solutions to enhance the performance of your existing windows. This blog is your one-stop guide to understanding the benefits of upgrading your windows with advanced glazing and how All-West Glass can help you achieve a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.
What is Window Glazing?
Glazing refers to the glass panes within a window unit. Standard windows typically have single-pane glazing, meaning just one layer of glass. Advanced glazing solutions, like those offered by All-West Glass, involve replacing the existing glass with more sophisticated options.
Benefits of Upgrading with Advanced Glazing:
· Enhanced energy efficiency: Our low-emissivity (Low-E) glass options significantly reduce heat transfer. Low-E glass maintains heat inside during winter and reflects heat away from your home during summer, resulting in lower energy bills and a more comfortable living environment.
· Improved noise reduction: Upgrading to thicker glazing units or laminated glass significantly reduces outside noise pollution, creating a quieter and more peaceful home.
· Increased security: Advanced glazing, like laminated glass, offers superior strength and impact resistance, deterring break-ins and enhancing your home security.
· UV protection: Low-E glass with a UV coating protects your furniture and belongings from fading caused by harmful ultraviolet rays.
· Curb appeal: Advanced glazing solutions can significantly enhance the aesthetics of your home by adding a sleek, modern touch to your windows.
