Wheeler's Comfort View Shop-Built Wood Window

PPG Solarban^® 60 Solar Control Low-E Glass

PPG Solarban^® 60 Glass helps your home be more energy efficient and comfortable, thanks to an almost invisible, microscopically-thin coating that blocks out solar energy and keeps in furnace heat.

As you can see from the picture below, you can feel the dramatic difference this thin coating can make. The window with Solarban 60 glass transmits far less heat than the clear glass window.
