R5 Triple Pane Windows and Patio Doors
R5 insulation rating = U-value .20
R5 is Eco-Friendly Energy Efficiency
Common Energy Star windows and patio doors only have an R rating of 3. We designed a series with an R rating of 5 for the ultimate in energy efficiency.
How Much Difference Does an Energy Efficient Window Make?
Heat and cold transfer through windows causes approximately 30% of heating and cooling energy costs nationally. That is an annual 4.31 quadrillion BTU of energy consumption.
R5 = U-Value .20
U-value is the rate of heat flow through a window; the lower the value, the better the insulating quality. Most commonly the U-value is used to measure a window's total insulating value. R-value is the resistance of a material to heat flow; the higher this number, the better the insulating value.
Benefits
- Reduced heat loss in the winter, better than typical Energy Star or Low-E windows
- Potential for significant reduction in energy costs
- Moderate to significant reduction in noise levels compared to double pane windows
Features
- Triple-Glazed: the insulated glass unit on an R5 window has three panes of glass
- Krypton Gas Filled Between the Panes: Krypton has significantly better insulating qualities than Argon
- Double Low-E glass: Low-E is on the exterior pane and the interior pane

How is U-value calculated?
Inverting an R-value gives you the corresponding U-value.
For an R-value of 5, the U-value is 1/5 or .20.
