Solar Bronze Replacement Windows: Out of the Sun and Into the Shade

Times have changed since the only window available was a single glazed wood one. Today one of the biggest concerns is conserving our limited energy resources. To this end companies like Solar Gard have made something of a science of developing a series like their Solar Bronze line of replacement windows.

Though tinted glass has been vastly more popular in commercial buildings where it offers a certain earthy sophistication to vast architectural windows the practice of filming windows with exotic metals is catching on with homeowners who want to make energy efficient choices in their contemporary homes.

What Solar Gard does is raise the energy efficiency of window glass remarkably by coating it with a thin multilayered piece of optically clear film that is retro fitted to the inside surface of the glass. This is then sputter coated with a durable exotic metal like copper, titanium, stainless steel, gold, silver or aluminum. This is what gives the glass its exceptional performance capabilities and color.

Added to this is a scratch resistant coating that is put through stringent testing. The sum total is state of the art glass in your windows that can reduce solar heat gain by a remarkable 25% to 55%. The treatment allows you to see out without the glare while preserving your privacy by reducing visibility when looking in.

Though Solar Bronze replacement windows may not be everyone's choice because of their distinctive color, which lends the interior an almost eerie warm copper light, they can enhance some contemporary homes offering an option that gives plenty of solar protection and views unobstructed by unnecessary drapes and blinds.
