Configured to meet your performance needs.
Glass is a highly configurable component of every window and door, and can be tailored to meet different energy efficiency, STC rating, security, impact resistance, or aesthetic needs. We’ll help you choose the perfect glass options for your build and functional needs.
We use the highest quality glass from the leading manufacturers nationwide.
Energy Efficient
Low-E Insulating Glass
Low-E (low-emissivity) glass has a microscopically thin, transparent coating that reflects heat and damaging UV radiation. By minimizing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, Low-E glass optimizes indoor comfort and helps reduce energy costs. Additionally, its UV-blocking properties protect furnishings and occupants from harmful rays.
Varying thicknesses of Low-E coating can be used for greater energy efficiency and UV-blocking properties. Low-E glass coating comes standard on all Panda products, with the option to upgrade to more advanced variants.
Dual-Pane and Triple-Pane Glass
Dual-pane and triple-pane glass provide significant advantages in terms of both energy efficiency and noise reduction. Dual-pane glass consists of two layers of glass separated by a gas or air-filled space, whereas triple-pane glass consists of three layers of glass with two insulating spaces, providing even greater thermal efficiency and sound suppression. Dual-pane glass comes standard on all Panda products for improved energy efficiency.
The added space within the glass layers enhances insulation, minimizing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, while significantly reducing outside noise to create a quieter indoor space.
Argon Gas Filling
Argon gas is a non-toxic, inert gas that is denser than air. When it's sealed between panes of glass in a dual or triple-pane glass, it acts as an insulator, reducing the transfer of heat between the inside and outside. Glass with argon gas filling can achieve better energy efficiency ratings compared to glass filled with just air. This is particularly important in regions with extreme temperatures, where heating and cooling costs can be significant.
Finally, by reducing the temperature differences across the glass, argon gas can help minimize condensation buildup on the interior surface of the glass, improving visibility and reducing the risk of mold growth.
