Understanding Our Glass Options

What type of glass should you choose for your replacement windows? Renewal by Andersen® offers a variety of high performance glass packages that can be specifically tailored to your needs.  

  1. High-Performance™ Low-E4® Glass. This is the ideal choice for people living in seasonal climates, where heating and cooling costs are both high. This option is 56% more energy-efficient in summer and 47% more energy-efficient in winter compared to standard dual-pane glass. This glass package can block up to 84% of harmful UV rays from entering your home and has a good solar heat gain coefficient.

  2. High-Performance Low-E4 Sun™ Glass: For hot, dry climate areas with minimal shade, this is a great option for your replacement windows. It has the highest rating against solar heat gain with the help of its subtle tint coating that reduces glare and excess light. 

  3. High-Performance Low-E4 SmartSun™ Glass. This is designed to block up to 95% of UV rays, while greatly minimizing the amount of solar heat that enters your property. This is the most ideal glass option for your window replacement if you want to protect your drapes, furniture and artwork from fading. 

  4. High-Performance Low-E4 SmartSun Glass with HeatLock™ Technology. HeatLock Technology is Renewal by Andersen’s latest innovation that meets most of today’s strictest energy codes and requirements. The combination of Low-E4 glass and HeatLock Technology provides all the benefits of our SmartSun glass, but with the thermal control layer applied to the room-facing side.
