Easier Cleaning and Fewer Water Spots Andersen® High Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass employs a revolutionary titanium dioxide (TiO²) exterior coating, making it easier to clean.

The coating also enables the glass to dry more quickly with as much as 99% fewer water spots. Our Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass features an airtight seal, impervious to the entry of outside air around the panes, for maximum insulation from heat and sound transfer. In addition, the panes are optimally separated with a patented low conductivity spacer and filled with a blend of argon gas to further reduce thermal transfer.

This can cut your energy spending by up to 25% depending on where you live. **A study comparing Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass to ordinary dual pane glass revealed a 25% savings on cooling bills and 10% savings on heating in identical homes.
