WINDOW GLASS & EFFICIENCY FAQS

Low-Emissivity (Low-E) glass features a "special invisible coating" that reflects heat while allowing natural light to pass through. This helps keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, improving energy efficiency and comfort year-round.

While modern double and triple-pane windows are very durable, they can occasionally fail over time if the seals between panes break. This may cause condensation or fogging between the panes. At Lush Windows & Doors, we use high-quality, Canadian-made windows to minimize the risk of seal failure. Should seal failure occur, we offer lifetime warranty for your peace of mind.

ENERGY STAR® is a government-backed program that certifies products based on strict energy efficiency standards. ENERGY STAR® windows use advanced technology to minimize energy loss, reduce utility bills, and improve home comfort—especially important in BC’s climate.

No, windows should never leak. Leaks can be a sign of poor installation, failed seals, or aging frames. If you notice drafts, moisture, mold or water around your windows, it’s important to have them inspected—and possibly replaced. Book your first appointment with us for more information.
