Discover the Benefits at One of Our 4 Nebraska Locations 


When choosing new windows, energy efficiency is more than a buzzword—it’s an investment in comfort, savings, and sustainability. At The Window and Door Store, we help homeowners in Nebraska discover smarter solutions, like Low-E glass, for their Marvin windows. Whether you’re upgrading your home in Kearney, Norfolk, Lincoln, Omaha, or the surrounding areas, Low-E glass is a smart investment in long-term energy efficiency and comfort. 

What Is Low-E Glass?

Low-E (low emissivity) glass features a virtually invisible coating that reflects heat while allowing natural light to pass through. This microscopic layer minimizes the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light that can pass through glass without compromising visibility. 


In winter, Low-E glass reflects interior heat back into your home. In summer, it helps block exterior heat from coming in. That’s why it’s often found in the most energy efficient windows on the market. 


Why Upgrade to Low-E Glass? 


  1. Lower Energy Bills 
    Homes with Low-E glass can experience significant savings on heating and cooling bills. Combined with Marvin’s energy efficient window styles, the difference is measurable. 
  2. Improved Comfort Year-Round 
    Tired of drafty rooms or hot spots near windows? Low-E glass helps regulate temperature, reducing reliance on heating or energy efficient window A/C units. 
  3. UV Protection for Your Interiors 
    Low-E glass blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, preserving the color and lifespan of your flooring, furniture, and artwork. 
  4. Environmentally Friendly Choice 
    By reducing your home’s energy consumption, Low-E glass contributes to a greener planet. It supports energy star for windows compliance and aligns with long-term goals for sustainability and home performance.
