Right before the summer, we replaced all of our windows and sliding doors with new LowE glass. The picture above was taken after only the top windows were replaced. Notice the green tint on the top windows versus the brownish tint on the ones on the bottom. The LowE glass that we specified was Cardinal 366 using a Superspacer for the spacer technology. For dual pane windows, the thing keeping the panes apart is called a spacer. The spacer can conduct heat so a lot of new windows use what they call a warm edge spacer(a non conducting material). The new windows make a huge difference in the house. I measured up to a 20 degree surface temperature difference between the new LowE and the old bronze tinted windows.
One of our large tempered windows spontaneously shattered the day after being installed. Unfortunately the window proceeded to crack and fall to the ground shortly after this picture was taken.
