Insulated glass contains two panes of glass, a spacer and a hot melt butyl that seals everything together. Republic calls this insulated glass, Super-G. The secret is the steel spacer—Super-G features a unique patented, one-piece, tin-plated steel, U-channeled spacer that creates an effective thermal barrier—reducing energy loss through the glass edges. Super-G’s spacer keeps the edges of the window glass warmer thanconventional aluminum spacers, so your home feels more comfortable year-round. Super-G not only reduces problem condensation around the glass perimeter, but allows the glass to flex, preventing premature seal failures and stress cracks. —Low-EHP - Republic’s Low Emissivity Glass sm -Saves you money W indows provide wonderful natural light, but they can also account for a large percentage of the annual energy consumed in a home. You can order Allure Windows with optional Low-EHP glass. Low emissivity or Low-E glass is heat reflective glass. It can take energy savings further, by optimizing both the sun’s heat, and your home’s heating and cooling systems—making your home more comfortable. Although Low-E glass has been around for years, not all Low-E glass is the same. How does Low-EHPwork? Two microscopically thin, virtually transparent, metal oxide coatings are applied to the glass. They reflect heat inside in winter and outside in summer, saving you energy and money. Low-EHP’s coating also blocks 84% of the sun’s harmful UV rays, and can improve your window’s performance by as much as 24%. —Argon Gas -Takes your energy savings even further T he space between the two panes of glass in an insulated window acts like insulation by trapping air. By replacing the trapped air with Argon gas—a safe, odorless, non-toxic gas that is present in the atmosphere—energy efficiency can be greatly enhanced. Argon is 40% denser than air, and is a much better insulator. In fact, Argon can improve a window’s energy efficiency by as much as 6%.
