-Low E- glass:
Low E- glass is a razor-thin, colorless, non-toxic coating applied to window glass to improve its energy efficiency. These windows are entirely safe and they are becoming the new standard for energy efficiency in modern homes.

-Laminated glass:
Laminated glass comprises two sheets of glass sandwiched around a thin layer of (usually) polyvinyl butyral (PVB) and it normally used at the place that possibility of human impact, skylight and architectural applications.

The term “Low E” means low emissivity. Low E is a coating of non-visible, microscopic layers of silver sandwiched between layers of anti-reflective metal oxide coatings. It helps in reducing the heat gain or loss. When added to the surface of window and door glass, Low E provides greater energy efficiency, increased comfort and protection from damaging UV rays. By filtering out the part of the light spectrum that transmits heat, Low E reduces a window’s U-Value and increases its R-Value. Nowadays, Low E glass are gaining popularity and are widely used in residential and commercial buildings.

Impact-resistant glass windows consist of strong laminated interlayer bonded between two panes of annealed, heat-strengthened or tempered glass.

There are two types of opening for casement windows – inward opening and outward opening. Both have their own pros and cons. For the inner opening type of window, cleaning is convenient while the outer opening type does not occupy space when opened. On the other hand, the inner opening window will occupy part of the room and it is not convenient to open when there is a curtain whereas opening of the outer window will occupy the space outside the wall and it is easy to be damaged by strong wind. If the quality of the casement window is not good, rain water may seep through and causes damage to your window and property.

This unique feature helps to improve ventilation, increase air circulation and prevent rain from entering your house. Top hung windows which open from the bottom make them ideal in situation where the furniture or height of the window prevents easy access to the window. Hence, top hung windows are widely used in confined spaces such as kitchen, staircase, bathroom areas, store, walk in closet to increase the brightness and facilitate ventilation.
