Glass &GlazingPerformanceComfort, energy savings and aestheticsare all important factors to consider whenchoosing windows. Selecting the bestglass type is equally as important as thestyle of window chosen for a particularlocation. Lux Windows and Glass Ltd.offers a variety of glazing options to suitany location or climate.Energy SavingsENERGY SAVING LUX LOW E GLASSThere are many Low E glass types available to suitvirtually any climate; Lux Windows uses a superiorproduct most beneficial when considering energyefficiency for Canadian weather.

Low E alsosignificantly resists damaging ultravioletrays, protecting your curtains, furnitureand flooring from fading. The Low EDifferencefrom entering the home in the summer,and also traps interior climate conditionsreducing energy costs of both heating andair conditioning.Most VisibleLight AdmittedWarmth*Low E is a thin, invisible coatingdesigned to reflect heat. It not onlyimproves the energy efficiencyUV Lightof your home, it can reduce yourmonthly utility bills and the size ofVisible LightWarmth*your carbon footprint.Did You Know?LUX WINDOWS .COM 25% of the heat in your homecan be lost through yourwindows. Without energyefficient glazing, you areessentially throwing yourmoney out the window.Most UV LightRejected*Most heat is sent backto its original source.
