Windows
Save money on heating and air conditioning costs. Which is more important in saving energy: The frame or the glass? This is an age-old question. Since 70% of a window is glass, real heating and cooling savings come from what is known as “improved glass performance”. It does not come from a high R-value of the frame.
We install windows that use double strength glass exclusively. This simply means it’s twice as thick as single strength. *Using a spacer system with the double strength glass improves the performance and longevity of the insulated glass unit by providing a more stable sash thereby reducing dramatically the opportunity for moisture to penetrate.
Since energy efficiency is a major reason in the decision to install a replacement window, you should certainly consider a true modern day miracle, LOW-E (low emissivity glass). It is an excellent barrier against ultra-violet rays, which can fade your carpet or furniture. LOW-E, combined with Argon gas, increases the energy efficiency of the window substantially. The Argon gas replaces the air between the two windowpanes. It is colorless, odorless, non-toxic, and above all, safe, inert (heavier than air) gas. Argon gas also works as a sound barrier because it alters the speed of sound. It improves the efficiency of windows in virtually any climate.
Combining a good spacer system with the LOW-E and Argon gas, along with, of course, an excellent R-value frame, gives you a highly energy efficient glass environment which does not conduct heat or cold, protects the interior environment, and, over a period of time, will pay for itself with reduced energy costs.
We pride ourselves on customer satisfaction.
*We are offering our customers a free performance upgrade on their window replacements, which qualifies for up to a $1500 federal tax credit, when you purchase eligible vinyl windows and add Low-E glass.
