Energy Efficiency
Choose wisely and enjoy the benefits
Single pane aluminum windows can be responsible for losing as much as 40% of a home's heating during winter and up to 60% of its cooling during summer. If your windows are more than 20 years old, the percentages could be even higher.
There are 4 major elements to energy efficiency:
- Frames which do not conduct energy
- High performance glass package
- Quality manufactured frame and sashes
- Proper installation and insulation
Low Emissivity Glass
Low-E is the clear low-emissivity coating on one side of the glass that is microscopically thin and has optically transparent layers of silver sandwiched between layers of metal oxide coatings. Low-E filters the suns energy in the summer by reducing the amount of heat transferring through the window and reduces heat loss in the winter. Low-E lets in visible sunlight while blocking infrared and ultraviolet solar energy that fades carpet and furniture.
