Understanding performance results for windows and doors.
The U-Factor measures the amount of heat passing through the product. A window with a lower U-Factor offers better insulating qualities by reducing heat transfer. A low U-Factor is beneficial in cooler climates to help keep a home warm, as well as for warmer climates to keep a home cool.
The R-Value is the resistance a window and door has to the transfer of heat. The higher the R-Value, the greater the resistance and insulating quality of the product.
A Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) measures the amount of the sun’s heat the glass is allowing into a home. A lower SHGC means that less of the sun’s warmth will be absorbed into the home. Homes in warmer climates benefit from a low solar heat gain to help with cooling, while homes in cooler climates benefit from a higher solar heat gain to assist in heating.
The Visible Transmittance (VT) on a window and door measures how much light comes through the product. VT is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The higher the VT, the more natural light will be transmitted into your home.
