SANTA ROSA — When selecting glass products for a home or building, considering these five factors will help you make an informed choice:
1. Climate control 
Tinted and low-E coated glass products reduce heat transfer from the outside, which helps keep the interior of the home or building cooler.
2. Fading control 
Laminated glass products reduce fading by minimizing the amount of damaging UV light that can pass through the glass.
3. Sound control 
In addition to keeping UV rays out, properly layered laminated glass can absorb much of the sound from outside, resulting in a more tranquil indoor environment.
4. Aesthetics 
Reflective window coatings are a great way to give a unique look to the outside of a building. In addition to their aesthetic qualities, many of these products provide heat transfer reduction.
5. Safety 
Tempered and safety glass products provide up to four times the strength of regular glass products, which reduces the possibility for accidental breakage and injury.
