Replacing your Windows: Finding the Right Fit for your Home

It’s one thing to consider replacing your windows, but the other challenge with replacing your windows is knowing your options.

Choosing your next windows can often be a difficult task for many homeowners, and this is why we’ve created a quick guide to help you decide on the best replacement windows for your home.

So what are your options when replacing your windows? Let’s take a look --

Double-Paned Windows. If your home is equipped with single-pane windows, it’s time to consider replacing your windows. Adding additional panes to your window might not seem like a big change, but it’s a huge addition when considering your home’s energy efficiency and your window’s overall performance.

Triple-Paned Windows. Triple-Pane windows go one step further than double-pane windows, adding an additional pane to the window. What does this mean for your window? An additional layer of insulation for your windows and home.

Gas-Filled Windows. Gas-Filled windows offer something single-pane windows cannot – a layer of gas in between panes. The gas, usually argon or krypton gas, acts as an additional layer of insulation. Why? The gas in Gas-Filled Windows is heavier than air, providing more insulation for your home.

Low-E Glass. Low-E Glass, also known as Low-Emissivity Glass, is specially-coated glass that helps reflect heat. Low-E Glass can work both ways – in winter, it helps reflect heat back into the home and in summer, it helps reflect heat off the outside of the windows.

Warm-Edge Spacers. Warm-Edge spacers are used to hold the glass panes in Double-Pane and Triple-Pane windows apart, but the spacers also act as added insulation for your window.

High Performance Glazing. High-Performance Glazing is a system that contains several of these features. High-Performance Glazing can consist of gas-filled Double or Triple-Pane Windows with warm spacers, offering you the absolute best in energy efficiency.
