The Evolution of Window Glass
Window glass replacement is no longer just about fixing a broken pane; it’s an opportunity to transform your home. As a Las Vegas-based company specializing in residential window and glass repair and replacement, Delux Windows & Glass is here to help you navigate the latest trends in making your home safer, more efficient, and more visually appealing. Our team of seasoned professionals brings decades of combined experience to every job, offering high-quality, energy-efficient solutions with a fast 1–2 day turnaround and competitive pricing.
The “Green” Trend: Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
High energy bills and uncomfortable indoor temperatures are often a direct result of old, inefficient windows. Common signs that your windows fail include feeling drafts, noticing condensation or fog between glass panes, or experiencing persistent air leaks.
Upgrading modern, energy-efficient glass is a smart way to combat these issues. Delux Windows & Glass uses high-performance glass like Guardian Climaguard® 62/27, a triple-silver low-E glass. This American-made glass offers outstanding U-values and solar heat gain control, helping to lower energy costs and create a smaller environmental footprint. If you’re dealing with a failed seal in your dual-pane windows, a simple glass replacement can restore the window to looking brand new. For those seeking a complete upgrade without extensive construction, our Alpine flush fin retrofit windows are a cost-effective solution that enhances energy efficiency while seamlessly integrating into your home’s existing structure.
The “Stylish” Trend: Enhancing Home Aesthetics, Security, and Comfort
Outdated or damaged windows with cracks, chips, or broken frames look bad and compromise your home’s security. Upgrading your windows significantly enhances your home’s aesthetic appeal and functionality. Delux Windows & Glass offers various window and door styles, including sliding glass doors, single-hung windows, and picture windows, to complement any home design.
Our new construction windows are perfect for major renovations or new builds, offering a range of customizable options in various materials, colors, and configurations. Beyond aesthetics, modern windows provide enhanced security features and help with noise reduction, creating a more peaceful and secure home environment. We use double-strength glass for all window repairs to ensure top-notch quality and durability.
Understanding Window Technology: U-Factor, SHGC, and Energy Performance
Two key metrics evaluate a window’s energy performance: the U-factor and the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC).
- U-Factor (Insulation): This measures a window’s ability to prevent heat from escaping or entering the home. A lower U-Factor indicates better insulation. The U-Factor is influenced by the number of glass panes, the type of glass, and the presence of insulating gases like argon between the panes.
- Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): This measures how much solar heat passes through a window—a lower SHGC blocks more of the sun’s heat, ideal for hot climates like Las Vegas.
Standard technologies to achieve these ratings include:
- Multiple Panes: Windows with two or three panes of glass, separated by a space, provide better insulation than single-pane windows.
- Insulating Gases: The space between glass panes is often filled with inert gases like argon, which are denser than air and help reduce heat transfer.
- Low-E Coatings: These thin, transparent layers applied to the glass reflect heat, improving the U-Factor and helping control the SHGC.
When choosing a new window, look for the ENERGY STAR® label, which indicates the window’s performance for your specific climate zone. For a warm climate, choose a window with a low SHGC to block solar heat.
