Having energy-efficient windows saves you a lot of money because they lessen your dependence on artificial means of interior climate control. Apart from contributing to environmental awareness, they also lower your energy bills by up to 25%. Renewal by Andersen® of Westchester looks at three ways that our glass achieves that energy efficiency.
1. Glazing
Standard to all our replacement windows in Connecticut would be double panes. Both panes are spaced optimally based on careful research. Both also feature titanium dioxide external coating. This coating has a high reflective index. This means that it strongly absorbs UV light, which can cause furnishings to deteriorate. Internally, our glass features low-e glazing that reflects away these same harmful light rays.
2. Spacers
Equally important are the spacers that essentially enforce and hold the gap between the two glass panels. Key to the effectiveness of this component lies in the material we use: a specifically low-conductivity stainless steel spacer that resists heat transfer. Moreover, it is durable ,so it will resist wear and tear as well as direct impact. The use of stainless steel also ensures that the seal doesn’t deteriorate over time.
3. Gas
Classically, double paned windows as far back as the 1950s featured double panes. During this time, only air was used in between. Fortunately, we now use argon gas as filler within the spaces of our Connecticut replacement windows. This inert gas provides complementary thermal regulation that works with the rest of the system. Rather than being itself a powerful factor for heat resistance, it serves to round out all other components.
