Glass Options
Lepage Millwork offers a variety of glass options for their Casement Windows & Skylights, designed to enhance energy efficiency, comfort, and aesthetics. The standard offering includes double-glazed units, providing a good balance of insulation and light transmission. For enhanced thermal performance, triple-glazed units are available. These multi-pane configurations incorporate multiple layers of glass with insulating gas fills to significantly reduce heat transfer.
To further customize performance and address specific needs, Lepage Millwork provides several specialized glass treatments and technologies:
- Low-E Coatings: These microscopic metallic coatings are applied to the glass surface. They reflect infrared heat (which is responsible for heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer) while allowing visible light to pass through. This leads to improved energy efficiency, keeping homes warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
- Argon Gas: An inert gas that is denser than air, Argon is often used as a fill between the glass panes in double and triple-glazed units. Its presence further enhances the insulating properties of the window by reducing convection currents within the sealed unit.
- Warm Edge Spacers: The material used to separate the glass panes plays a role in thermal performance. Warm edge spacers are designed to minimize heat transfer around the perimeter of the sealed unit, reducing condensation and improving overall energy efficiency compared to traditional metal spacers.
- Tempered Glass: This type of glass is treated to be stronger and safer. When broken, tempered glass shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces, reducing the risk of injury. It is often used in areas where safety is a concern, such as near doors or low to the ground.
- Laminated Glass: Composed of two or more layers of glass bonded together with an interlayer (typically PVB), laminated glass offers enhanced safety and security. If broken, the glass fragments tend to adhere to the interlayer, preventing them from scattering. It also provides improved sound insulation.
- Obscure Glass: For privacy applications, obscure glass options are available. These can include patterned or frosted finishes that allow light to enter while obscuring the view from the outside.
The combination of these glass options allows homeowners and builders to select windows that meet specific energy code requirements, enhance comfort levels, and achieve desired aesthetic outcomes for their projects.
Options-Styles
Lepage Millwork offers a range of casement windows designed for both aesthetic appeal and robust performance. These windows are engineered to provide optimal ventilation and energy efficiency, making them a popular choice for modern homes.

Glass Options
The Lepage Millwork Double Hung window offers a selection of glass options designed to enhance both aesthetic appeal and performance. These options cater to various needs, from energy efficiency to privacy and decorative elements. Standard Glass Options: * Low-E: This is a fundamental option for energy efficiency. Low-E glass features a microscopically thin metallic coating that reflects infrared heat. In winter, it helps keep heat inside your home, reducing heating costs. In summer, it reflects the sun's heat away from your home, lowering cooling expenses. This results in a more comfortable indoor temperature year-round and contributes to energy savings. Optional Glass Upgrades: * Tempered Glass: For enhanced safety, tempered glass is available. This type of glass is treated through a process of controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. When broken, tempered glass shatters into small, blunt fragments, reducing the risk of injury. It is often recommended for areas where safety is a concern, such as near doors, in bathrooms, or in areas accessible to children. * Laminated Glass: Laminated glass provides additional security and noise reduction. It consists of two or more panes of glass bonded together with a plastic interlayer. If the glass breaks, the interlayer holds the fragments together, preventing them from shattering and falling. This makes it more difficult to break through, offering enhanced security. The interlayer also helps to dampen sound, leading to a quieter indoor environment. * Obscure/Frosted Glass: For privacy, obscure or frosted glass is an excellent choice. This glass has a diffused surface that obscures the view while still allowing light to pass through. It is ideal for bathrooms, powder rooms, or any area where privacy is desired without sacrificing natural light. * Decorative Glass: Lepage Millwork offers various decorative glass options to add a unique stylistic touch to your windows. These can include: * Grids (Simulated Divided Lites - SDL): These are applied to the surface of a single pane of glass to mimic the look of traditional multi-pane windows. They are available in a range of profiles and finishes to match your home's architectural style. * Grids Between the Glass (GBG): These grids are sealed between the two panes of insulating glass. This design provides the aesthetic of divided lights while offering easier cleaning as the grid is protected. They are also available in various styles and colors. * Various patterns and textures: While specific patterns are not detailed, the availability of decorative glass implies options for unique textures and designs to complement interior and exterior aesthetics. Insulated Glass Units (IGUs): All Lepage Millwork windows come with insulated glass units, which typically consist of two panes of glass separated by a spacer. This creates an air or gas-filled space that enhances thermal performance. The available glass options can be incorporated into these IGUs to further customize the window's properties. The specific combinations and availability of these glass options may vary, so it is advisable to consult with a Lepage Millwork representative for detailed specifications and choices tailored to your project needs.Options-Styles
