Homeowners are looking to find the most energy efficient windows for their home. The solution is on its way, as Gentek prepares to launch its new Solar Shield S3 product on October 1.  This new glass package offers Gentek’s most energy efficient option.

Ultra-efficient performance is achieved through the use of three microscopic layers of silver within the coating of the glass. While many residential windows have only one or two layers, this third silver layer helps reduce absorption of the sun’s heat on hot summer days and retain more of your home’s warmth on cold winter nights.

Some highlights of this exciting new window option:

  • Lower U-factor for reduced heat loss and greater insulation performance in winter
  • Lower Solar Heat Gain Coefficient keeps homes cooler in summer
  • Clear, crisp views – 62% of the sun’s visible light shines through the glass, while 73% of unwanted solar heat is blocked
  • The penetration of harmful UV rays is reduced to 5%, helping to prevent damage to interior woodwork, carpets and furnishings
