UV Blocking Windows in Austin, TX

What are Ultraviolet Rays & UV Blocking Windows?

Ultraviolet rays are a non-visible part of the light spectrum emitted by the sun. This invisible light damages materials and causes fabrics to fade and discolor. It’s also harmful to our bodies and has been linked to cancer. For these reasons we do everything possible to ensure that our windows provide a safe refuge from ultraviolet radiation.

Fortunately, technology has become so advanced that we can now offer UV blocking windows! The vinyl compounds and Low-E glass we use in them stop UV from entering your Austin home or damaging window frames.

How do We Make Great UV Blocking Windows?

Our extruded vinyl is made from compounds which include UV stabilizers

Our Proprietary Vinyl Compounds Include UV Stabilizers

The science of compounding ingredients is vital to producing the superior extruded vinyl in our windows. This is especially true because of the need to hold back the harsh Texas climate. For these reasons we painstakingly developed proprietary vinyl compounds with UV stabilizers to minimize the adverse effects of the sun. As a result our frames resist yellowing, discoloration, dulling, and other damage to vinyl windows with no ultraviolet protection.

We Use Low-E Glass to Block 95% of UV Rays

Finally, our UV blocking windows filter out damaging rays by using Low-E glass. This specially made triple-coated glass stops 95% of heat and UV radiation. It does so while allowing most visible light to shine brightly through your windows. Low-E glass is also the main-stay of our energy efficient replacement windows Austin homeowners rely on year round.
