What makes a quality window in 2010?
Glazing Unit Structure:
Multiple layers of glass improve thermal resistance and reduce heat loss attributed to convection between window layers. These layers also provide more surfaces for low-E or solar control coatings.
Low-Emittance Coatings:
Low- E coatings are highly transparent and virtually invisible, but have high reflectance to lone-wavelength infrared radiation. This reduces radiative heat transfer between glazing layers by a factor of 5 to 10, thereby reducing total heat transfer between two glazing layers. Low-emittance coatings may be applied directly to glass surfaces, or to think sheets of plastic (films) which are suspended in the air cavity between the interior and exterior glazing layers.
Solar Control Glazing and Coatings:
New types of tinted glass and new coatings can be specified that reduce the impact of the sun's heat without sacrificing view. Spectrally selective glazing and coatings absorb and reflect the infrared portion of the sunlight while transmitting visible daylight, thus reducing solar heat gain coefficients and resulting cooling loads. These solar control coatings can also have low-e characteristics.
Low-Conductance Gas Fills:
With the use of low-e coating, heat transfer across a gap is dominated by conduction and natural convection. While air is a relatively good insulator, there are other gases with lower thermal conductivities. Using one of nontoxic gases in an insulating glass unit can reduce heat transfers between the glazing layers.
Warm Edge Spacers:
Heat transfer through the metal spacers that are used to separate glazing layers can increase heat loss and cause condensation to form at the edge of the window. "Warm edge" spacers use new materials and better designs to reduce this loss.
Thermally Improved Sash and Frame:
Traditional sash and frame designs often contribute to heat loss and can represent a large fraction of the total loss when high-performance glass is used. New materials and improved designs can reduce this loss.
Improved Weatherstripping:
Better weatherstrips are now available to reduce air leakage, and most are of more durable materials that will provide improved performance over a longer time period.

| Benefits of High Performance Windows
Cooling and Heating Season Energy Savings: Low-E coatings and other technologies can significantly reduce winter heat loss and summer heat gain.
Improved Daylight and View: New glazings with low solar gain low- E coatings have a minimal loss of visible light compared to many tints and films.
Improved Comfort: In both summer and winter occupant comfort is increased; window temperatures are more moderate and there are fewer cold drafts.
Reduced Condensation: Frame and glazing materials that resist heat conduction do not become cold, resulting in less condensation.
Reduced Fading: Coating on glass or plastic films within the window assembly can significantly reduce the ultraviolet and other solar radiation that causes fading of fabrics and furnishings.
Lower Costs for Mechanical Equipment: Using windows that significantly reduce solar heat gain means that cooling equipment costs may be reduced. |
 | Consider Taking Three Easy Steps
Step #1 Read Our Window Report
Educate yourself on the anatomy of a window. We will send you a PDF copy when you provide us with some information about yourself.
Step #2 Consider Styles for Your Home
Windows have several options including grid patterns, color and styles (slider/ double hung). Take a look at our photo gallery to see examples.
Step #3 Schedule an Estimate
Request a free estimate. Having an in-home demonstration won't cost you anything. We promise you will be glad that you did. |
