Energy-efficient windows continues to be at the forefront of window trends as homeowners continue to look for ways to reduce their carbon footprints and save money.
Look for windows with smart glass that works with the sun, passively heating your home by allowing low-angle winter sunlight into your home, while reflecting it away from the house in the summer. This allows you to rely less on your heating and cooling systems throughout the year, saving energy and money! Insulated window frames and sashes, as well as non-metal spacers also play important roles in a window’s energy-efficiency, reducing the amount of heat that enters or escapes your home through the window. When considering window replacement to improve your home’s energy efficiency, make sure choose a company that offers an air-tight installation process, including spray foam around the rough opening to help eliminate drafts.
