At Argo Window Repair, we specialize in a variety of glass types, each offering unique benefits for your windows. Whether you’re considering repair or replacement, understanding the differences between annealed, low-e, tempered, and reflective glass can help you make an informed decision.

Annealed Glass

• Basics: Annealed glass is the standard glass type, cooled slowly to relieve internal stresses.
• Benefits: It offers clarity and durability at an economical price point.
• Uses: Ideal for general glazing applications where additional strength or thermal performance is not a priority.

Low-Emissive (Low-e) Glass

• Technology: Low-e glass features a microscopically thin coating that reflects heat.
• Benefits: It significantly improves energy efficiency by retaining heat in winter and reflecting heat in summer.
• Uses: Perfect for areas with extreme weather conditions, helping to reduce energy bills.

Tempered Glass

• Safety: When broken, tempered glass shatters into small, blunt pieces, reducing the risk of injury.
• Strength: It is four to five times stronger than annealed glass.
• Uses: Recommended for safety-critical areas such as doors, bathrooms, and near the floor.

Reflective Glass

• Appearance: Has a mirror-like coating that reflects sunlight.
• Benefits: Reduces glare and solar heat gain, enhancing comfort and privacy.
• Uses: Ideal for buildings in sunny climates, offering aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency.
