What is the best glass to use in warmer climates?
Glass with a low shading coefficient or low solar heat gain coefficient is preferred, rather than insulating (U or R) value, in areas where average temperatures tend to be higher. Glass with a low shading coefficient will help reduce the amount of heat gain into the building structure, reducing cooling costs. Consult with your window manufacturer to help you select a glazing package that fits your location, application, and design options.
