The thermal and structural properties of wood combined with the right glazing make Marvin® wood
and wood clad products an optimal choice for energy efficiency. We offer thousands of window and
door options with two or three panes of glass and a range of glazing options to meet the performance
challenges of any climate.

INSULATING GLASS TRIPANE GLAZING
Our standard glazing is Insulating Glass (IG) with Tripane glazing provides enhanced energy performance.
Low E2 and argon gas. IG glass is double glazed Available in products where glazing thickness can be wider
than 3/4", Tripane features two coated panes of glass with a

between the glass layers.

LOW E GLAZING OPTIONS

Low E coatings on the glass surface manage the amount of light and heat either conducted
through a window or reflected away from it, reducing your home’s need for energy-consuming
climate control systems. The national ENERGY STAR® program recognizes products that
meet strict energy-efficiency guidelines to suit climates in different areas of the country. Marvin window
and door products are available with Low E1, Low E2, or Low E3 glazing options to meet these
requirements for any climate.

LOW E1 - A single layer of metallic LOW E1 LOW E2 LOW E3
coating blocks heat loss to the outside LOW E2 LOW E3
while allowing the highest levels of solar LOW E2 LOW E3
heat into a room. LOW E3
LOW E2 - A double layer of metallic
coating provides year round performance
and comfort, with better protection against
radiant heat transfer than Low E1.
LOW E3 - Three layers of metallic
silver provides the lowest solar heat gain
performance for warm, southern climates.
