    Understanding Window Glass Options for Your Indianapolis Home

    Before you make an investment in new windows for your Indianapolis home, you first need to be aware of the many different window glass options available today. Many window glass options are specifically designed to filter sunlight and block heat transfer so that your home operates more efficiently. Here’s an overview of what these options look like. 

    Low E Glass

    Low E glass is one of the most popular window glass options for the last twenty years. This thin film is applied to the outside of the window and offers improvements in efficiency by reflecting more heat and light away from your home instead of allowing it through. When coupled with air-insulated double pane glass, you can expect to see instant improvements in your power bill. This is the simplest and most affordable window treatment option that you will find, and nearly all modern windows use some version of this treatment. 

    SmartSun Glass

    SmartSun glass is another option available on all Andersen windows. This new window glaze helps reduce the number of harmful UV rays that come into your house, while also offering all of the benefits of Low-E glass. The additional filtering of light is helpful if you are concerned about UV exposure, especially because UV rays can be damaging to furniture and health. 

    Passive Sun Glass

    For cooler climates, Passive Sun glass is another great option. Passive Sun Glass works to your advantage by filtering certain rays out while allowing heat in. This can be incredibly helpful if your power bills get too high during the winter. In addition, you can add Heat Lock glass coating on the inside of your windows, which gives you an additional layer of heat reflection and insulation inside your home. With Passive Sun glass and Heat Lock in place, you could significantly cut your power bills down. 

    When it comes to selecting the best window glass options for your Indianapolis home, there are many choices available. However, you are likely to see the biggest improvements with a simple Low-E glass coating and double pane upgrade. Nevertheless, extra heat shielding and insulation can help with Indianapolis winters.
