R-Value - A measure of thermal performance expressed as resistance to heat loss.  The R-value is determined by taking the recipriocal of the U-value.  The higher the R-value the better.

U-Value - A mesure of thermal performance expressed as the rate of heat loss.  The U-value is determied by measuring the amount of heat lost through a material, over the time period of one hour, when the difference of temperature between the warmer and colder sides is one degree.  The lower the U-value the better.  The unit of measurement is particularly useful when determining the overall thermal performance of and insulated glass unit.

Your windows and doors are the most visible parts of your home.  New windows and doors can transform your home and improve curb appeal.

Consider the following:

FACT ONE: Today's new windows make life easier.  Modern high technology such as constant force balance systems, state of the art glass and precise vinyl formula mixtures mean that new windows will not squeak, fog or fade.  Today's windows stay bright, don't require any maintenance and can easily be cleaned from the inside (in most cases).

FACT TWO: Today's replacement windows are much safer than in the past.  Reinforced locking mechanisms, laminate glass and reinforced framing make today's windows some of the safest that have ever been made.

FACT THREE: Today's windows are more cost effective.  New insluated glass designs, glass coatings and improved frame insulation all contribute to an energy efficient product that can cut home heating and cooling usage and costs.  New windows and doors make the inside of your home more comfortable and quite while saving you money on energy bills as well.

FACT FOUR: Windows look great!  They come in a variety of shapes, styles and colors including bay windows, large bow windows, sliding windows, casement windows, double hung windows and picture windows.  Peraonalized interior hardware (locks) can be customized to meet the decor of your home.

When you go to have your windows replaced, don't just call any company or go to a home improvement store.   Choose your professional carefully and go to a specialist.

The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) was formed in December 1989 as a non-profit/private collaboration of manufactures, builders, designers, code officials, consumers, utilities and regulators that will establish a national energy performance rating system for fenestration products (windows, doors, skylights). The mission of the NFRC is to establish a fair, accurate and credible energy performance rating system for fenestration products.

How are the windows tested for Thermal Performance?

The NFRC’s rating system is based on whole product performance. It allows for accurate accounts of the energy related effects of all a product’s components parts and prevents misleading comparisons of a single components to whole product properties.

The rating system is a procedure for determining the thermal transmittance (U-factor) of a product. The U-factor is measuring the transfer of heat flow thru a product.
