Why Invest in Energy-Efficient Windows?
The Department of Energy estimates that up to a third of energy loss in a home occurs through the windows. This is especially true if your home has older windows that are drafty or only have single-paned glass. Investing in energy-efficient windows can enhance your home’s comfort and thermal performance—insulated windows help prevent heat transfer so that your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard to heat and cool your home. This not only helps reduce strain and extend the lifespan of your HVAC system, but it may also lower your monthly energy bills for an investment that continues to pay you back in the long run.
What Are the Features of Energy-Saving Windows?
Energy-efficient windows are designed to reduce thermal transfer into and out of your home in various ways. Features of our energy-saving windows include:
- Insulated frames – Multi-chamber or foam-filled frames can help reduce heat transfer.
- Multiple panes of glass – Multiple panes provide extra layers of insulation between the inside and outside of your home. This also creates space for gas fills and spacer systems.
- Inert gas fills – Inert gas fills are used between the panes of glass to help prevent thermal transfer. Typically, argon, krypton, or a mixture of these gases is used to accomplish this goal. These inert gas fills are denser than air but completely invisible, so they don’t impact your view.
- Spacer systems – When you have multiple panes of glass, a spacer system is needed to set the panes of glass at the appropriate distance. It’s important to have an effective spacer system to prevent air and gas leakage.
- Low-E coatings – Low-E coatings are applied to the window glass to reflect infrared light to help reduce heat transfer. Like gas fills, low-E coatings are virtually invisible, so they won’t impact your view.
- Weatherstripping – Weatherstripping creates an airtight seal that keeps air and water from entering the window.
In addition to these features of energy-efficient windows, it’s also important to consider the quality of the window installation process. Even the best-performing windows won’t correctly insulate your home if poorly installed. That’s why Braymiller Builders takes pride in offering exceptional workmanship to ensure your new energy-efficient windows look and perform at their best.
