Low-E Coatings

ENERVIEW OFFERS 3 TYPES OF THERMAL WINDOW COATINGS.

Getting the right balance of comfort and performance can be a challenge. Enerview offers three different levels of Low-E glass so you can find the perfect balance for your home. Low-E glass coatings are designed to block solar rays from entering your home.

In the summer this can help create more energy efficient windows, when unwanted heat from the sun causes the temperature in your home to spike. However, in the winter, heat from the sun can be an advantage, so choosing the level of protection you want from thermal windows should be a carefully considered decision.

LOW-E THERMAL WINDOW OPTIONS:

Low-E 180. This is a single Low-E thermal window coating, and comes standard with all our window packages. Specially designed for our Canadian climate.

Low-E 272. Features a double Low-E coating for added UV protection. These insulated windows offer a good balance of rejecting external heat from the sun while maintaining comfort inside your home year round.

Low-E 366. This option is the ultimate in solar-heat protection, with 3 layers of Low-E coating for the highest level of UV protection. It blocks 95% of damaging UV-rays, virtually eliminating the effects of the sun on your home.

WHICH THERMAL WINDOW OPTION IS RIGHT FOR YOUR HOME?

There’s no right or wrong answer, as each Low-E thermal window coating offers advantages and disadvantages depending on the climate you live in and the direction your windows are facing. Often a custom window installation that uses a combination of our coatings for different windows in your house is your best option for optimal protection from the sun and energy efficiency.

Benefits of Vinyl Windows


Vinyl windows are a popular choice for many homeowners in Ottawa, and for good reason. They offer a host of advantages that can significantly enhance your home's comfort, aesthetics, and energy efficiency. Here are some of the top benefits of choosing vinyl windows from Valley Siding & Windows:

Energy Efficiency

Vinyl windows are renowned for their superior insulation properties. Their design reduces heat transfer, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs, making them an energy-efficient choice for your Ottawa home.

Low Maintenance

Unlike wooden windows, vinyl windows require minimal maintenance. They don't need to be painted or stained, and they resist fading, cracking, and warping. Simply clean them periodically with a mild soap solution, and they will continue to look great for years to come.

Affordability

Vinyl windows are often more affordable than other window types, making them a popular choice for homeowners on a budget. Despite their lower cost, they don't compromise on quality, offering excellent durability and performance.

Durability

Vinyl windows are built to last. Their sturdy construction withstands the rigors of the Ottawa climate, from harsh winters to hot summers. With proper care, they can last for decades, providing excellent value for your investment.

Noise Reduction

Vinyl windows also excel in noise reduction, thanks to their insulation properties. If you live in a noisy neighborhood or near a busy street, these windows can help to significantly reduce outside noise, creating a more peaceful and comfortable living environment.

Versatility

One of the main advantages of vinyl windows is their versatility. They come in a variety of styles, sizes, and colors, making it easy to find a design that matches your home's architecture and décor.
