All insulated glass will save energy. Badger's system has the edge, however. This technologically advanced insulated glass spacer system utilizes a unique, Swiggle Spacer to separate glass panels and interrupt the natural flow of heat to cold and is standard on most products. It also reduces the chill that can occur around the glass perimeter which may cause condensation and puddling. In 1997, I established Badger Custom Windows, Inc. after purchasing a former window fabricator in Eau Claire. Since the first window rolled off the line, we at Badger Custom Windows, Inc. have been producing high quality, energy efficient vinyl replacement and new construction windows. We are considered a regional fabricator selling and servicing windows in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Argon gas is most commonly used in the ordinary incandescent lightbulb. It is clear, non toxic, and non flammable. The space between the two panes of glass is filled with Argon gas, because thermal conductivity of this inert gas is lower than air. Result? Heat loss is reduced and energy efficiency is improved. When considering the Argon gas option, ensure your supplier is selling you a window which has been tested and is capable of retaining the gas once installed. A window that leaks Argon will take away both the thermal and monetary value of your investment. Swiggle seal is the only Warm Edge insulating glass system to pass the DIN standard for Argon gas retention in North America today. One of the newest innovations in energy efficient windows is Low Emissivity, or Low E glass. This is glass which has an invisible coating which reflects long wave heat radiation back into your home (keeping heat in) while allowing short wave (solar) heat radiation to enter. This helps reduce heating costs of your home in winter. By not allowing heat to escape, the temperature of the glass inside your home is kept warmer which reduces that cold uncomfortable feeling near windows. Low E coatings are also known to reduce harmful ultraviolet rays which cause fading of interior finishes.
