Saving Energy Costs
Making an investment in superior windows and doors will pay off down the road. In lower energy bills. Less fading damage to furniture and carpet. And above all, the comfortable enjoyment of your home.
Double paned windows can prevent energy loss in many ways. Often they include clear, odorless, nontoxic gases which are denser than air and provide an additional layer of insulation. Low emissive (low-e) windows are yet another energy-efficient option when considering replacements. They may also be coated, reflective, or tinted to help provide a barrier against the unwanted elements in your home and prevent flooring and furniture from fading. Windows with a laminate layer help prevent shattering when struck repeatedly.
Installing double-paned wood or vinyl windows, could save the homeowner as much as 32% in cooling costs and 24% in heating expenses.Double- or triple-pane glass options with between-the-glass blinds or fabric shades can further increase energy savings and can even reduce outside noise — like traffic — by up to 80%. Laminated insulating glass is another great choice for increased energy efficiency and sound reduction.
