Industry Pros: Explore How We Can Help You
Our Specialty & Decorative Glass Options
In today’s market, windows are major design elements for new and existing homes. This includes window walls, larger glass doors, and multi-panel sliding doors. In addition, homes are being built closer together and closer to noisy roads or intersections. This is where specialty glass options can set your home apart. Eliminating noise and increasing energy efficiency can make your home more comfortable no matter what is going on outside.
Learn more about our specialty glass options below, or contact our experts to get more information on specialty glass options when ordering your windows.
TEMPERED GLASS
Tempered glass, also known as heat-treated glass, is specially fabricated for usage in areas with a high risk of contact or breakage. This type of glass is great for showers, doors, or glass near stairs. It is more durable than standard glass and does not shatter into large dangerous shards when broken. When broken, tempered glass will break into small pieces that are easy to sweep up without leaving dangerous shards behind.
LAMINATED AND HURRICANE IMPACT GLASS
Laminated safety glass can be used for safety and security in your home. It can also help keep your home safe against window smash burglary attempts. The laminated glass we offer is hurricane-rated and comprises two glass sheets bonded together with a protective interlayer of plastic designed to resist projectile impacts.
SOUND ABATEMENT GLASS (STC/OITC)
As cities grow, our homes, apartment buildings, and other residential properties are being built closer together and in increasingly noisy places. It is not surprising that homeowners and builders are interested in window options that will dampen outdoor sounds.
Our Woodland Windows & Doors team offers sound abatement glass options for homeowners and property owners across the Chicago area. These windows are specially designed to dampen loud noises and can help turn an uncomfortable home into a comfortable space to enjoy time with family and friends.
HIGH EFFICIENCY GLASS
High Efficiency or Lowe-E glass is a term that has been used more and more frequently as home builders and homeowners look for options that can help them save money on energy bills while making their homes more comfortable. Low-E stands for low-emissivity glass, which contains a coating that slows heat transfer through the glass.
Regarding energy-efficient windows, three components comprise windows: insulated glass, Low-E coatings, and gas fill that provide thermal barriers to help reduce the overall heat transmission through the glass. Low-E coatings range from E1-E3 and are often recommended based on the climate. Low E1 is recommended for the northern climates we have in Chicago. It absorbs the maximum light and keeps your home at a consistent temperature.
Frosted Glass
Frosted glass is the most common type of privacy glass. It has a smooth, white appearance and is often called satin glass. These windows offer a hazy view and a wide range of transparency options.
Ribbed Or Bubble Glass
Ribbed or bubble glass has a striped or textured finish that looks natural. These windows provide the same privacy as frosted glass options with a more stylish and decorative design that can set your home apart.
Patterned Glass
Homeowners who want a decorative look while assuring privacy can choose patterned glass. Glass in this category includes geometric shapes and natural forms. Popular in doors with glass panels, French glass doors, and sidelites.
CONDENSATION RESISTANT GLASS
Condensation-resistant glass or CR glass refers to glass resistant to condensation, which helps to prevent foggy windows and water buildup from moisture transmission. Be sure to ask your representative about condensation resistance options for your home or business.
Our colder climate makes aluminum frames a poor choice, but if you must have this for your modern home, make sure the window you choose has thermal breaks. Second, opt for Low-E and argon or krypton gas fills between double or triple panes. Third, ask about warm-edge spacers, which are no-metal or spacers made of less conductive metals.
