State-of-the-Art Glass Technology
Argon Gas
Argon is an inexpensive, clear, and odorless gas. Argon gas benefits your windows by reducing the air circulation between the panes of glass, thus increasing the R-value significantly. To enjoy the full benefits of argon gas, it should be used with Low ‘E’ glass.
Low-E Glass
Low ‘E’ glass offers you low-cost solar control. By blocking the sun’s harmful rays, fading of carpets, draperies, upholstery and artwork is greatly reduced. Low ‘E’ glass is perfect for residential and commercial buildings. By keeping heat out in the summer and heat in during the winter, your air conditioning and heating costs will be reduced significantly. We use Low “E” Sungate 500, Solarban 60 and Solarban 70 XL with Argon and it will build it up to R Value of 10.

FADE PROTECTION
The solar control, low-e coating of Solarban 70XL glass blocks ultraviolet (UV) energy, which is traditionally associated with fading, 90% more effectively than ordinary glass. However, a more complete measure of fading resistance called “damaged-weighted transittance,” shows that Solarban 70XL glass also protects your fabrics, furniture and carpets from fading caused by visible light.

At Western Built Windows and Doors, we provide both double and triple glazed glass options featuring our energy-saving Low-E and TIR coatings with argon gas. Our triple-pane units offer the ultimate protection against Edmonton's cold climate, significantly reducing heat loss and external noise.
