In the first part of this blog series, Renewal by Andersen® of Westchester discussed the best reasons for investing in energy-efficient windows. Today, we will discuss the components of a Westchester window that truly make it energy-efficient.
Glazing
This pertains to the glass treatments that help improve a window’s thermal performance. We offer dual-pane windows that maximize the space between the panes for optimal energy efficiency.
Low-E Glass
The coatings in this window component repel infrared light, keeping hot air from entering your home especially during summer. Low-E glass also prevents harmful UV rays from entering your home’s interior and damaging your furniture and drapes. Our Westchester windows come with High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass options that can reduce the amount of heat that escapes your home in the winter for more energy savings.
Gas Fills
Energy-efficient windows include a gap between the windowpanes that is filled with argon, krypton, or other gases. These non-toxic gases don’t have any color or odor, and offer superior insulation compared to regular air.
Warm Edge Spacers
A spacer keeps a window’s glass panes at the proper distance from each other. Non-metallic and metal/non-hybrid spacers also help the edges of the panes remain warm while keeping the elements out. Our windows in Westchester, NY, come with low-conductivity spacers made of stainless steel for added thermal protection.
Frame Material
Our windows feature Fibrex® composite frames that offer superior insulation. They combine the classic beauty and strength of wood with the low-maintenance qualities of vinyl for lasting charm and performance.
When selecting an energy-efficient replacement window, make sure to check its components to ensure it will actually perform as described. Expect Renewal by Andersen of Westchester to provide you with high-quality windows that offer superior insulation for more energy savings.
