Glass Coatings, Energy Efficiency & Comfort
U-Value & Winter Insulating Performance
Insulation performance is measured to determine how effectively a window keeps heat in a room during winter conditions. Insulation performance is measured by U-Value and the LOWER the U-Value the better the window performs. See NFRC chart to the right and see how effectively our glass options perform compared to Double Pane Clear insulated glass.
Note: New 25C Tax Credit for 2023- Only Gilkey Ultra Triple Pane (Energy Star Most Efficient) will qualify.

Summer Solar Heat Control
Gilkey Windows can keep your home comfortable during warm summer months. You should select a window like our Gilkey LoE366 with Lower Solar Heat Gain Coefficient if:
- Windows facing East or West
- Large areas of glass
- Want to reduce stress on Air conditioning equipment
- Protection from Ultra Violet radiation
- Upstairs rooms get excessively hot in summertime

High Performance Coatings

LoÉ-i89®
Enhanced Performing Glass.
A special coating of indium on the indoor light reflects heat back into the room thus lowering U-Values for better winter time comfort.

LoÉ-180®
Ultra Clear Performance.
A single layer of silver LoE ideal for added insulation when used in conjunction with LoE3-366® or LoE2-270®. Allows for high visible light.

Neat+® Glass (Optional)
Naturally clean glass for windows that stay cleaner longer and easier.
Windows coated with Neat+® harness the power of the sun’s UV rays to loosen dirt so water can rinse it away leaving windows virtually spotless.
