Living in Northern Country, we all love the sun and appreciate our short summer season.

Still, we need to consider the impact of UV (Ultra Violet) radiation.

Humans, animals, and Plants all need UV for our health, but an excessive amount of it could harm our skin.

Some Types of Coating Glass will completely eliminate UV and reduce heat waves penetrating through the glass.

This type of glass will benefit people living in warm sunny climates, but what about Ontarians? What about our pets sitting at home and hardly going out during the winter season? What about plants in the house?

The homeowner needs to do thorough research before choosing the strength of the glass coating.

Some say that stronger LowE (Low Emissivity) coating will be beneficial for the house: for furniture, and for the floor, but in my opinion, before we worry about tables or beds, let's see how the luck of UV could impact Humans, pets, and plants in the house.


Some amount of Ultra Violet is beneficial for humans and helps develop Vitamin D. We strongly recommend blanching and instead have a bit more UV than less in the house. You can always purchase curtains to reduce the heat.

To protect your home from sun damage, it's essential to invest in high-quality glass coatings that can effectively block harmful UV rays. One reliable option is to choose ECI optical coatings for your windows, which offer excellent performance and durability. 

If your windows are facing North or East, choosingtrongest LowE coating could be wrong, and righthand, in-house sides are lucking of light as it is, then we will put curtains, and as a result: rooms are dark, no light, not even a bit sun rays, and vitamin D so much needed in the winter season will be impossible.

The house's South and West sides should also be approached carefully.

Do you have any plants there are, is it the bedroom that needs to be more relaxed or leaving the room where the family spends most of the time.

What are your cooking habits?

If a household prepares meals and it takes a lot of water to boil, then all this condensation will be deposited on the surfaces in the house (most on the glass). With the lack of heat waves penetrating through the glass, this condensation with lack of ventilation could trigger the mold.

Which windows should I opt for?

Energy-efficient windows and doors are an excellent investment for your home. They add to its value, which is something every homeowner wants.

Your home’s windows and doors are a barrier between the weather outside and the temperature inside. Your home’s HVAC system makes your home more comfortable, whether the air conditioner or the furnace is running. During the summers, the UV rays can make your home warmer than you like, increasing your reliance on the air conditioner. Likewise, during cooler months, your home experiences hearing loss, increasing your dependency on the furnace.

Always opt for ENERGY STAR products for your home’s windows and doors to protect your home and family from damaging UV rays. The lower the u-factor of a product, the more energy-efficient it is. With these windows, your home’s furniture, carpets, and paint won’t be damaged.
