Heat seeks an an equilibrium, a balance, so it will leave your body through your skin and go toward the colder surface. That transfer of heat actually feels like a cold draft on your skin.

Tempered glass is a kind of safety glass that has a variety of applications. It is especially used in situations where ordinary glass cannot be used because of its potential danger.
Tempered glass is manufactured under conditions of controlled heat and controlled cooling or sometimes controlled chemical treatments which lead to a significant increase in its strength. This compresses the outer surfaces and creates tension in the inner surfaces, which is what creates tempered glass, or “safety glass”.

Glasses are the most preferred materials for windows. Many even go for French windows, which are made of full-length glass. Since glass facilitates good light from the outside, it is the favorite of many. However, at times, the light which comes in through the glass windows can become overwhelming, to the extent that you need heavy curtains to keep your space cooler. Especially during summers when the heat is too much, huge glasses add on to the discomfort. That’s the reason people employ insulated glasses to check the amount of heat that is being absorbed and the light that is coming in.

When it comes time to replace the windows in your home, there are a lot of things to think about, especially if you live in an older house. You want to install windows with maximum energy efficiency at the same time that you want to preserve the historical look of where you live. One of the most important things to think about and understand is what is U-factor for windows? Basically, U-factor is a way of measuring how well a window insulates. The better it insulates, the lower its u-factor rating will be. U-factor indicates the rate of heat loss from a window. Insulated glass will have low U-factor rates, because it keeps the cold out and the heat in or vise-versa depending on your climate and the season. A good U-factor rate to look for is .30, which is about as low as it gets.
