Modern Insulated Units will last longer
Modern insulated glass units are “dual seal” technology with a primary PIB seal and a secondary backfill of urethane or silicone. These units last far longer than the old technology. It used to be that all warranties were void if you lived within a mile of the water – now we can offer a silicone sealed unit that is warrantied for 10 years even if you live right on the ocean!
Insulated window glass needs to be tempered if it’s in or near a door. All units are custom ordered and usually take 10 business days to be made.
You can even upgrade to Low-E energy saving glass
Although when doing so, you need to change all the window glass on the same side of the house at the same time because the low-e glass looks differently. It will appear slighty blue-green in its reflection. If you change one window to low-e and have a regular glass next to it, it will not look right. Low-e glass will help with both heating and cooling expenses.
