• What is "Low E" glass and why is it important for windows?

  “Low E” (low emissivity) glass has a metallic coating on the inside glass surface that reflects or absorbs the sun’s warmth and reduce harmful UV rays. Low E offers enhanced U factor and solar heat gain coefficient to make your home more comfortable and energy efficient year round. 

• What is Argon Gas in windows?

  Argon is an odorless, colorless, non-toxic, inert gas that can be used instead of air between panes of glass to increase insulation and energy efficiency. It reduces heat loss and enhances comfort in your home.

• What does "U-Value" mean for windows and doors?

  “U Value” measures the rate of heat loss and how well a product insulates.The lower the number, the better a product is at keeping heat inside a building. The U factor is key in keeping warmth in during winter and out during summer, important for energy savings and comfort.

• What is "Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)"?

  “Solar Heat Gain Coefficient” (SHGC) measures how much heat from sunlight passes through a window or door. A lower SHGC means less unwanted heat enters, helping keep your home cooler and more comfortable in warmer months.

• What is "R-Value," and how does it differ from "U-Value"?

  “R-Value” measures a material’s resistance to heat flow—the higher the value, the better the insulation. For windows and doors, U-Value and SHGC are more important for measuring efficiency.

• What is ENERGY STAR® certification for windows and doors?

  ENERGY STAR ® is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Choosing Energy Star-certified windows and doors from Bushey’s helps save energy, lower utility bills, and benefits the environment.
