Coming to the realization that it’s
time to start searching for replacement windows is something that most homeowners have
to deal with at one point or another. Luckily, the windows created
today can provide a lot more bonuses
that the one’s you currently have.
Sure, they may not be 40 year old windows, but there have been a lot of developments even
in the last 10-15 years that can help you boost your
home’s energy efficiency. So what should you keep an eye out for when you’re in the market for energy
efficient replacement windows? Here’s a little list that the
team at Pella Windows and Doors in Memphis put together for you to read:
- Pick the right
glass. There are a few pane choices for you to
consider when selecting replacement
windows, but the most important thing to take note
of is their energy efficiency. When it comes to Pella® windows, double-pane glass offers almost double the insulation that single-pane does, and if you
want even better energy efficiency, we have triple-pane glass.
- Professional installation. To truly get the perks
you want from your replacement windows—like energy
efficiency and greater comfort—proper installation is crucial.
Even the greatest
window or door is only as good as its installation. A Pella
Expert InstallerSM, who is re-certified annually to install Pella products, will lead your installation to help make sure your products are installed correctly.
- Coat accordingly. With
the variety of Low-E (Low-Emissivity) glass
coatings available, you can make certain that your
new replacement windows are defending your home properly.
And when you strategically choose your glass coatings,
your energy efficiency can see improvement.
From coatings that reflect heat in
the summer to others that halt harmful UV rays, one of
the pros at Pella Windows and Doors can help you find
the ideal coating for your replacement windows.
These three tips function
as a primer for selecting your replacement windows,
but if you’d like to get a better idea what the various choices look like, stop by
