When getting new windows for your home, you don’t just consider the style and costs. You also need to take note of energy efficiency. Energy-efficient windows can significantly improve your home’s comfort and reduce heating and cooling costs.
Find out factors that make windows energy-efficient from a trusted replacement window installation provider.
Replacement windows and doors with plain glass won’t offer your home protection against ultraviolet rays, which can cause your carpet, furniture and decor to fade. They also won’t provide much insulation, making your heating and cooling system work harder to keep your interior comfortable.
When you choose Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City for your picture window installation, you’ll have access to our glass packages that are engineered to reduce energy use. All our products are created with energy efficiency in mind. For instance, our High-Performance™ Low-E® SmartSun™ glass package can block up to 95 percent of UV rays. Aside from that, our windows can also minimize outdoor noise, which is beneficial if you are located near a busy street.
Insulated glass units are usually filled with argon, krypton or the combination of the two gases. These gases are non-toxic, odorless and denser than air. They act as barriers that block UV rays and prevent extreme temperatures from entering your indoor spaces. Krypton and argon are gases that make up the atmosphere so you don’t have to worry about them in case of a leak. Windows are also carefully sealed to prevent gas leaks.
