Wood & PVC | Glass Options

Comfort, energy savings and aesthetics are all important factors to consider when choosing windows. Selecting the best glass type is equally as important as the style of window chosen for a particular location. Lux Windows and Glass Ltd. offers a variety of glazing options to suit any location or climate.

Energy Saving Glass (Low E2)

There are many Low E glass types available to suit virtually any climate; Lux Windows uses a superior product most beneficial when considering energy efficiency to Canadian weather. Low E2 is a unique microscopically thin soft coating (not affecting clarity when hit by direct sunlight) containing transparent layers of metal and metal oxides. This metal coating works in tandem with an argon gas enhanced airspace, greatly reducing the suns hot rays from entering the home in the summer and traps the interior climate conditions reducing energy costs of both heating and air conditioning.
Each and every Lux window and door is available with Low E2 glass. Low E2 also significantly resists damaging ultraviolet rays, protecting your curtains, furniture and flooring from fading. Low E2 glass is made by Cardinal Glass Industries.

Argon Gas

As a standard, the space between the panes of glass in a Low E2 window are filled with argon gas – a clear, harmless gas which
provides maximum insulating capabilities.

Super Spacer® Structural Foam

Many windows are manufactured using metal spacers between the panes of glass. Lux Windows and Glass Ltd. constructs its windows with an advanced foam spacer system, Super Spacer. Super Spacer (backed by hot melt butyl) insulates more than 950 times better than aluminum and 85 times better than stainless steel. The patented Super Spacer foam dramatically reduces condensation while the butyl provides a guaranteed long term seal and structural stability. Low E2 glass combined with Super Spacer hot melt butyl backing provides the ultimate performance and durability of the total window system.
