Advanced Low-E Insulating Glass with Argon

Starting with dual-pane glass for greater insulation, Pella Designer Series windows feature a low-e coating which use two layers of thermal protection to reflect heat energy rather than transfer it into or out of the house.

In winter, the low-e coating reflects indoor heat back into the house, keeping the home warmer with less energy. Oppositely, in warm months, the window reflects the sun's heat and damaging UV rays (up to 86% of them) away from the home. This lowers cooling costs, and also reduces damage from fading.

Pella injects argon gas into the space between the two panes of glass, providing an extra layer of insulation to the window. These Designer Series windows are ideal for locations that experience both hot and cold weather extremes.

SunDefense Low-E Insulating Glass with Argon

For areas that experience extreme heat, Pella Designer Series offers the SunDefense Low-E coating system. A third low-e coating is added to the windows, increasing UV reflectivity up to 95%, improving the window's insulating abilities.

Designer Series Triple-Pane Advanced Low-E Insulating Glass with Argon


Going further, Pella offers the Triple-Pane Advanced window as part of their Designer Series for homes that experience the most extreme climates and need the ultimate energy-saving window. With all of the features of the above glasses, third pane of glass is added to the window to block up to 97% of the sun's UV rays.

Pella's Triple-Pane Advanced Low-E Insulating Glass with Argon is rated #1 for energy efficiency among all top national brands.

All of the Low-E Insulating Glass products in Pella's Designer Series are also available without argon for those in more moderate climates.

The Energy Star-certified windows of Pella's Designer Series will lower your heating and cooling costs, up to $500 a year in extreme climates. They will create a more comfortable home interior, and most importantly, protect the environment by requiring less energy usage and all of the corresponding greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants associated with that energy use.
