You can save 30% or more with energy efficient windows and doors by CGI. By combining the advantages of impact protection and energy savings, you can create greater energy efficiency – and meet your budget requirements – based on the glass you choose. The most cost effective impact resistant glazing option, for example, is tinted laminated glass. Consider tinted laminated for warm climates such as Florida, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and coastal areas of South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Laminated glass or insulated laminated glass with a lo-E coating would be another choice. Both options represent higher costs but with the best energy efficiency. These more advanced glass options are perfect for cooler climates such as North Carolina, inland areas of South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, and anywhere required by local building codes. Please contact a CGI representative for more information.
