LoW-E Glass
Did you know that new windows have Low-E coatings? What is this exactly? These coatings are placed on the glass during the manufacturing process. The Low-E Coatings are used to prevent the harsh UV rays from entering your home and raising the inside temperature. They are also used to prevent the UV rays from bleaching the furniture over time. At Conservation Construction of Houston we use Low-E Glass coating which is almost invisible to the naked eye, but it does bounce harmful UV rays back outside where they belong. It is also more energy saving than other regular Low-E coatings on the market. Customers who switch to our Texas Windows can see an average savings of up to 40% off their total home energy costs.

Gas Sits Between The Glass
Did you know that modern windows are filled with gas? Why are they filled with gas? They are filled with gas because the gas between the panes is more dense than air and can protect your home better against extreme heat and cold temperatures. It also provides protection against air infiltration. Now most companies on the market today use Argon Gas. What’s unique about Texas windows is that we use Argon Gas. By using both gases our windows provide even more density and protection against the weather. When you choose windows from Conservation Construction of Texas all of them are backed by lifetime warranties. Did you know that windows now came with gas between the panes?

Locks On The Top
In the past old windows had locks on the bottom of the frames. Today’s windows have locks on the top. This works better at protecting your home against forced entry. At Conservation Construction we use a two point locking system which means you need to push buttons on top of the lock inward to unlatch the locks. This means that your home is safer all year round. Did you know about two point locking systems on windows? Does your home still have the old window locks? Let us know in the comments below.
Foam Filled Frames
The frames on Texas Windows are filled with foam to ensure ultimate protection against solar heat gain and wind infiltration. This feature is a fairly new invention and exclusive to Texas Windows. So, you’ll get optimal protection and lower energy costs from the second the windows are installed. Did you know that new window frames were filled with foam? Comment Below.
