VLT Visible Light Transmittance - measures the amount of light the window lets through. The higher the VT, the more light you see. VT is measured on a scale of 0 to 1.

Argon - An inert, colorless, and harmless gas used instead of air in sealed spaces between panes of glass in insulating glass units to increase insulation.
