Benefits of Energy Efficient Vinyl Windows for Houston Homes
Installing energy efficient windows is one of the smartest investments that you can make for your home. Your home and family can enjoy a number of both short-term and long-term benefits that will improve your living area while saving you money throughout the years.
Reduce Utility Bills
Through the insulating qualities of energy efficient windows, you can reduce your energy bills by up to 30% in the winter and summer months. The double paned glass and the LoE coating keep the heat out of your home in the summer and cold air out in the winter.
Minimize Outside Noise
Traditional single pane windows are made with one piece of 1/16” glass. Double pane windows are constructed with 2 pieces of 1/8” glass (double the thickness) and filled with Argon gas between the two panes of glass. This significantly reduces outside noise from heavy traffic, loud dogs, construction, and other sources by up to 75%.
Increase Your Home's Security
Double paned window glass is much stronger and thicker than traditional, single pane glass. We also offer tempered safety glass, which is 8.5 times stronger than standard glass. Another available option is Impact resistant glass, which can withstand forces up to 150 miles per hour. Additionally, the window locks are dual cam locks that are significantly stronger, to help seal the sash with frame.
Hurricane and Storm Protection
Double paned windows offer much more protection in a storm or hurricane due to the stronger glass and the insulating qualities of the window frames. Homeowners that live near the coastal areas will be protected with hurricane windows that feature Impact resistant glass that withstands Category 5 Hurricanes.
Protection from Ultraviolet Rays
The use of LoE coating on the glass will reduce the UV rays that enter your home by approximately 80%. Our windows are made with top-of-the-line 366 Cardinal brand LoE glass, which can prevent curtains, furniture, and carpeting from fading in the harmful UV rays of the sun.
Reduce Dust and Allergens
Due to interlocking meeting rails and triple weather-stripping, our windows significantly reduce the amount of outside dust, pollen, and other allergens that enters your home.
Update and Beautify Your Home
One of the best ways to give your home new curb appeal and open up the view from inside is to replace your windows. When replacing your windows, you may choose to create a picture window where you previously had a window with a center bar or grids that chopped up your view. There are a multitude of window styles for you to create a look that you love.
Increase Resale Value
Replacing your windows with energy efficient windows is one of the top 3 upgrades you can perform for your home to increase resale value, only surpassed by kitchen and bath remodels.
