Energy Savings

With multiple glass options to increase energy efficiency, there is a glass package to fit any climate need and budget.

Choose Low-E for the most effective, insulating solar control glass available. Its special, double layer of silver coating dramatically limits the sun’s penetrating heat during the summer by reflecting long-wave heat energy. During cold winter months, Low-E maintains your home’s warm, comfortable indoor temperature by permitting short-wave heat energy to enter, while keeping cold temperature out.

Ellison offers a number of different glass systems, which combine Low-E with other energy efficient options. This helps Ellison windows and doors meet ENERGY STAR requirements for the various climate zones across the United State. Visit the ENERGY STAR section of our website to learn more.

Low-E In Winter

In the winter, Low-E glass lets the warm, solar rays in while blocking the heat in the home from getting out.

Optional Low-E Glass Packages

Glass System
Low-E Glass

Low-E glass is coated with a microscopic layer of silver that reflects radiant solar energy while permitting visible light to pass through the glass, providing more comfort and lower energy costs.

Glass System
Low-E Glass with Argon Gas

Argon gas works like an insulating blanket between two panes of glass to further improve thermal efficiency and decrease outside sound levels.

Glass System
Ultra Low-E Glass with Argon Gas

Choose our ultimate glass package for optimal energy efficiency and maximum cost savings. Ultra Low-E glass offers three invisible layers of silver coating in addition to the superior thermal performance of argon gas.

Glass System
Triple-Pane, R-5 Compliant Glass

Triple-pane, R-5 compliant glass with Super Spacer sealant system provides industry-leading thermal resistance, noise reduction and protection from the sun. The Series 1800 offers this option with both Low-E glass with argon gas or Ultra Low-E glass with argon gas, for the ultimate in insulation. (Note: Only available on Series 1800 Windows)
