Energy Efficient Replacement Windows
Are you in the market for new energy-efficient windows? You probably want the best replacement windows available-but do you know what makes a window energy-efficient? There are a number of different things that determine window energy efficiency.
Factors that influence window energy efficiency include:
- Style or type of window (picture, casement, awning, etc.)
- Window material (wood, vinyl, etc.)
- Type of glass
- Distance between window panes
- Location of window
- Installation
- Manufacturer
- Government regulations
What makes a Window Energy-Efficient?
To go into a little more detail, an energy-efficient window has:
- A high-quality frame – Certain materials help insulate better (e.g. vinyl welded frame that is foam injected to increase R-value)
- Low-E glass – The special coating on this type of glass helps keep heat inside your house in the winter and outside in the summer
- Multiple Panes – Two panes insulate better than one (especially with gas-filled space in between them), and three-pane windows are even more energy-efficient and offer more sound control
