Window Glass Options
Glass options
Add a distinctive look to your home by using tinted glass. Obscured glass is available for privacy or to create an interesting look. For safety in those special areas choose tempered or laminated safety glass.

Self-cleaning glass
With SunClean Glass, cleaning windows can be as easy as watering the flowers. A durable, transparent coating on the glass helps break down dirt particles and sheets water so that rain or even the light spray of a garden hose can rinse the exterior clean.

Triple-pane glass system
This high performance triple-pane glass system incorporates PPG’s SOLARBAN®60 low-emissivity glass on two glass pane surfaces, Intercept® Warm Edge Spacer, and super-insulating Krypton Gas fill between the panes. The ability of this glass system to retain interior heat in cold weather and reflect exterior heat in warm weather is truly remarkable.
Note: Ultimate Triple-Pane Glass System is slightly tinted to maintain its super or energy efficient properties.

High efficiency SOLARBAN® 60 Low-E Glass
The total solar energy transmitted through Low-E glass is almost 50% less than that transmitted by standard glass.
- In winter, indoor long-wave heat energy is reflected back into the house, lowering heating costs.
- In summer, outdoor long-wave heat energy, radiating from objects, is reflected back outside, lowering cooling costs.
- Low-E glass reduces fabric-fading UV energy 72% more effectively than standard glass.
