BBRRRRRRR !

Quebec is experiencing an exceptionally cold winter this year. Are you concerned about your energy consumption and would like to reduce your heating costs by nearly 10%? Stay with us and read our article of the month to learn about the advantages of energy-efficient glass.

WHAT IS ENERGY-EFFICIENT GLASS?

This glazing, also called low-e glass (Low emissivity), is a thermopane with one of the panes coated with an invisible metallic film. This film is designed to improve the thermal performance of a thermopane.

In a low-e thermopane, the air is replaced with argon gas. This inert gas has better insulating properties than air.

The spacer is the third element of a high-performance thermopane. Our spacer is the Super Spacer Premium. This non-conductive spacer perfectly complements our thermopanes, which are manufactured in-house by our staff.

* Spacer: It allows the assembly of the two panes that make up a double thermopane. To ensure the tightness of the thermopane, a sealant is applied around the perimeter of the spacer.

WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE ENERGY-EFFICIENT GLASS?

Did you know that more than 25% of the total heat loss in your home can come from your windows? Energy-efficient glass primarily helps retain heat inside during winter while reducing heat gain in summer.

A smart way to improve the performance and thermal efficiency of your windows.

THE MAIN ADVANTAGES OF LAJEUNESSE ENERGY GLASS ARE:

• Minimizes heat loss;
• Savings on heating costs;
• Allows to increase the level of indoor humidity without the formation of condensation on the windows (better resistance to condensation);
• Increased comfort, the temperature of the interior window being higher, you feel less cold near the windows (often caused by the convection phenomenon);
• Greater absorption of UV rays which discolour furniture, carpets, etc. The low-e coating acts as a filter against these rays.
