What is a U - Value?
Also known as the U-factor, the U-value measures how much heat loss or gain can be transferred through a window or door. The lower the U-value, the greater the product’s resistance to heat flow and the better its insulating value. For windows and doors, a low U-Value means less heat is able to penetrate your home during warmer months & less heat is able to escape during colder months. Low E glass can have a positive effect on the U-value.

The 7700 Series window offers a wider selection of colors while also providing the added efficiency of a .25 U-Value & exterior noise reduction
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient
SHGC value indicates how much direct sunlight and absorbed heat that can enter your home through your windows or doors. Sometimes referred to as a shading coefficient and usually expressed as a value between 0 and 0.87, a lower SHGC value is preferred. Just like U- and R-values, Low E glass will increase your window or door’s performance against solar heat gain.
