Leave a comment

One of the closet doors in Jadin’s bedroom swings open toward the tall window at the back of the room. The City of Austin inspector requires us to replace the conventional glass with tempered.

Landon and Robert from Martel Windows arrived today with the tempered glass.

The exterior sheet of glass features a low-E coating to reduce the amount of light and heat traveling through the glass into the house. Landon pointed to the square corner of the low-E film, circled here.
