What Makes New Windows Energy Efficient?
Most new windows are energy efficient. In today’s day and age with advancements in window technology why wouldn’t they be? But some windows, like the ones we provide at Conservation Construction of Houston, are even more energy efficient than regular windows you can get in any box store. Keep reading to learn why new windows are energy efficient and why ours are even more so.
Frames
Vinyl filled foam filled frames separate our windows from others on the market today. The sides of the frame are filled with a specialty foam which insulates better than standard vinyl frames. In addition, our frames are made of a strong composite vinyl which does crack or warp with the sun’s heat. This means they’ll remain stable and secure for years and years to come, giving you premium protection from whatever weather has to throw at your house.
Glass Coatings
At Conservation Construction of Houston we use Easy Clean glass coatings, the next generation of coating technology that results in naturally cleaner glass. Your windows get 40% less dust on the Easy Clean surface compared to uncoated glass, keeping the window cleaner longer. This technology means you clean your windows less, but they stay clean longer. How neat is that?
Second Coating
Additionally we use another coating to work with the Easy Clean Coating called Low-E Glass Coating. Low-E delivers the ideal balance of solar control and high visibility. This coating has been specially formulated to reject the sun’s heat without affecting the view. It lets more light in and keeps more heat out. So your home stays cool and comfortable.
Gas Fill
Unlike other companies, we use a gas mixture of two gases inside our windows. At Conservation Construction of Houston we use Argon Gas. This mixture of gases insulates better than argon gas or air alone. Because they are smaller, these particles can better fill a smaller space. Conversely, Argon is better for filling bigger spaces. The use of both makes them perfect gas filling for windows. You’ll get supreme insulation and protection against air infiltration.
Annual Savings
With so much insulation and protection against UV rays you can expect to save on average 40% off your total energy costs. That’s huge savings when you consider all year round energy costs. This means you can save your money for more important things instead of the electric bill!
