Older windows are often the culprit for escaping heat in the winter time. Over the years they may have worn out from constant use and exposure to weather. In some cases weather-stripping, hardware, and frame materials can suffer wear and tear and start letting in cold drafts. Windows have evolved from single pane, to double, triple glazed, to double layer insulated systems. Is it time your home had a window replacement?
According to Energy Star, energy efficient windows, doors, and skylights will:
– reduce your home energy costs by 7 to 12 percent
– reduce or eliminate cold drafts
– collect less condensation
– reduce noise from outside
If you’re looking for ways to make your home more energy efficient and eco-friendly, you should consider installing energy efficient windows from Supreme Windows in Calgary. Today’s windows are far better designed compare to older products. Energy efficient windows now have insulated PVC or hyrbrid frames, low-e glass, double or triple pane with inert gas sealed in for insulation and improved hardware to ensure they’re more airtight.
What is Energy Star?
You should check for the Energy Star labels to determine a window’s energy efficiency. Energy Star windows are rated differently for specific climate zones. They meet strict standards for efficiency in all areas of the product that is best suited for your climate. You can’t look at the Energy Star Map of Canada to determine what zone you are in.
