Understanding Glass Performance
To make glass performance a little easier to understand we’ve put together the table below which explains the 3 key measurements.
| Measurement | Description |
|---|---|
| Insulation (U Value) | The amount of heat gain or loss between interior and exterior environments. The lower the number, the more stable the room temperature. |
| Solar (SHGC) | The heat transferred through the glass from exposure to sun radiation. The lower the number, the less heat is gained from the sun. |
| Daylight (Light Transmission %) | The percentage of visible light passing through the glass. The higher the number, the clearer the glass. |
Note: Each window or door product combination also has an official WERS ratings to indicate the exact performance of that particular design and glass combination. Please ask a member of staff for these details.
