Local evaluation
What matters in a The Colony window project.
AAHR evaluates east- and west-facing solar exposure, shaded and unshaded openings, existing frame conditions, air leakage, room comfort, noise priorities and the home’s architecture. The goal is not to choose the darkest glass—it is to balance solar control, visible light, insulation and appearance.

For strong sun exposure, a lower SHGC can reduce solar heat gain. U-factor, frame design, air leakage and installation remain part of the complete comparison.

Use the exposure to select the glass.
Balance SHGC with visible light so the room remains bright without becoming difficult to cool.
Consider egress, operation, air sealing, privacy, blackout treatments and noise goals together.
Preserve proportions, grid patterns and material appearance while improving the glass and sealing system.
