Your home’s look wouldn’t be complete without windows. Aside from bringing beauty to your property, they allow natural light and fresh air indoors. When it’s time to update your windows, look for products that can help you save on your heating and cooling costs. 

What Makes A Window Energy Efficient

Read on to discover the key features of an energy-efficient window. 

Advanced Framing and Materials

A window’s frame significantly contributes to its insulating properties. Energy-efficient windows often feature highly durable and insulative frames. They are made from carefully selected materials designed to reduce thermal transfer and minimize energy loss. 

Multiple Panes of Glass and Gas Fills

Do you still have outdated single-pane windows? If so, you will greatly benefit from multipane units. They come with at least two panes of glass. Between the panes are inert gases like argon or krypton for added insulation. 

Innovative Glass Technologies

The glass used to construct a window can affect its overall energy efficiency. Low-emissivity (Low-E) glass features a nearly invisible coating that reduces heat transfer by reflecting infrared light. This coating helps keep your house warm in winter and cool in summer.

Proper Sealing  

Without adequate sealing, even the most well-designed windows can underperform. Quality window seals with improved sealing technologies are essential to preventing air leakage, a common cause of energy loss. 

ENERGY STAR® Certification

The ENERGY STAR certification is a guarantee of energy efficiency. Windows with this label have met strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. They have also been verified by an independent body like the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC).
