FAQs
What is Argon Gas and why is it used with Low E glass?

What is condensation and how do I prevent it?
Condensation can occur when the surface temperature of a solid such as the glass, sash, or frame component of your window is lower than the dew point of the humid air in its immediate vicinity.
