SmartSun Glass Keeps Heat Out, Provides Clear Views and Qualifies for the $1500 Federal Tax Credit

04/10/2009 - Mr. Rogers Windows has expanded its available options for windows and patio doors with a new solar control glass developed by the Andersen Corporation. SmartSun™ glass was designed to reject unwanted solar heat and still allow the sunlight to shine through.

Andersen® SmartSun™ glass also helps reduce energy consumption in the home while providing year-round thermal protection and attractive visibility. As an added bonus, all Mr. Rogers windows with SmartSun™ glass qualify you for the government’s $1500 energy efficiency tax credit.

Standard solar glazings and coatings limit heat gain, but they add a noticeable tint to the glass that reduces the amount of visible light coming through the window. But SmartSun™ glass is formulated with an additional microscopic layer of silver that controls the amount of infrared energy transmitted, allows more beautiful light inside, and blocks 95 percent of harmful ultraviolet rays from coming through. Blocking UV rays helps protect furniture, carpets and wall coverings from fading among other things.

“There are more windows and doors in homes today than ever. Homeowners need to understand that glass technology is an important factor in the overall energy use and thermal efficiency of their windows and doors,“ said Gerry Rogers, owner of Mr. Rogers Windows.

“While the price and demand for energy continues to climb, the addition of SmartSun™ glass is a responsible way to conserve energy, preserve the view from inside, and take advantage of the Stimulus Plan’s 2009 federal tax credit,“ he adds.

SmartSun™ glass is the latest addition to the wide selection of high-performance, low-E and solar control glass from Renewal by Andersen. Usually it is a premium upgrade, but right now you can get SmartSun™ for free with your purchase of 9 or more windows.

You’ll get the free upgrade to SmartSun™ glass, and you’ll also get a 10th window free. Plus, you’re guaranteed to qualify for the $1,500 energy tax credit.

Just call or contact Mr. Rogers Windows and tell them you want the free upgrade to SmartSun™ glass.
