High-Performance Energy Saving Glass Systems
The right glass for energy savings and comfort
Windows are truly the eyes of a home. They provide views of our outdoor surroundings, allow natural light to brighten our homes, and add a decorative flair to our homes’ architecture. Although windows provide all these great benefits, they can also account for up to 30% of the annual energy consumed in a home. Considering the fact that glass makes up almost 80% of a window, and dictates how that window will perform, it’s important to choose the right glass package when replacing windows in your home.
Thermal Industries offers high-performance glass packages to keep your home comfortable all year round. Available in dual pane and triple pane systems, all packages feature low-emissivity glass.

- Low-E Glass Demonstration
How does Low-E Glass work?
Low-E glass is treated with a thin transparent coating of metal oxide and silver. As shown in the diagram at right, Low-E:
(1) Allows natural light to freely enter your home.
(2) During winter months, long-wave heat energy radiating from indoor objects is reflected back into the house keeping your home warm while lowering heating costs.
(3) In the summer, outdoor long wave heat energy, radiating from objects is reflected back outside, lowering cooling costs. It also reduces the penetration of ultra-violet rays to minimize fading of carpet and draperies.
Peak Performance™ Glass
The Peak Performance™ Glass package is a dual-pane insulating glass system constructed of one glass lite of high performance Low-E glass and one lite of clear glass.
The air space between the two lites of glass contains Argon gas. Argon is a colorless gas that is denser than air. It increases the insulating value of the glass unit as well as providing insulation from outside noise. Intercept® Warm-Edge Technology seals the glass unit.
Many of Thermal Industries’ window and door products specified with Peak Performance Glass will qualify for the Energy Tax Credit. Some restrictions may apply. Refer to product specific pages on this website, or consult your sales representative for more information.
