Choose high-performance glass options for your company.
Glass is a fundamental component of the modern world, appearing in everything from the sleek skyscrapers that define North Carolina city skylines to the windows that let natural light into a home. But not all glass is made equally. Beyond just being aesthetically pleasing, high-performance glass options are transforming the way people interact with their surroundings. At Custom Glass Products, we offer window solutions that make sense.
When considering high-performance glass options, it’s hard to ignore their energy efficiency. Traditional windows can be a major source of heat gain or loss. However, low-emissivity (Low-E) glass is an example of a high-performance glass alternative that reduces heat transfer to keep spaces pleasant and energy costs under control.
High-performance glass options are also instrumental in blocking a large portion of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. While furniture, flooring, and artwork may fade when traditional windows are installed, high-performance options ensure those things will stay in good condition for many years.
Noise pollution is also a continual source of irritation for many properties. High-performance glass options can aid in lowering the amount of sound that enters. Double or triple glazing, laminated glass, and cutting-edge soundproofing techniques all contribute to a calmer and more serene atmosphere.

Low-E Glass
Low-E glass is glass that has been coated with a microscopic layer, typically a metal or metallic oxide, that is virtually invisible. This layer lowers the emissivity of the glass, thereby blocking long-wave radiation for improved thermal performance. Low-E was created to minimize the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light that comes through your glass, without sacrificing light that enters.
Also, high-performance glass may improve the security and safety of a property. Laminated glass is made up of two or more glass layers separated by a clear plastic interlayer. This design minimizes the chance of glass breakage injuries by guaranteeing that the shattered glass will stay in place. It also provides superior security against trespassers because laminated glass is harder to penetrate.
