Choosing the Right Glazing for Your Climate

Picking the Perfect Glazing for Your Climate

Learning to select the best glazing for your climate can make a big difference in ensuring your home is nice and toasty. The glass in your windows and doors — the glazing — is critical in preventing the transfer of heat during the winter and the summer. Depending on which climate zone glass you choose it can make a difference in energy efficiency and in energy costs, directly putting money back in your pocket.

Temperature range as well as amount of light and humidity may be considered while choosing glazing based on local weather conditions. 

For instance, if you reside in a hot area, you may opt for glazing that can block the sun’s heat along with harmful UV rays. If it is cold and snowy where you live, however, you may want to opt for more insulated glazing to keep heat from escaping your home.

Achieve the best possible energy performance by choosing the correct glazing to suit your climate? 

You can reduce heat loss during the winter and heat gain during the summer by choosing the most energy-efficient glazing options, such as low-emissivity coated or double/triple-pane windows. This can reduce your energy bills and make your home more comfortable all year long. Furthermore, you can select glazing with a high solar heat gain coefficient, which will allow you to utilize the heat from the sun during the winter months and cut back on heating in general.
