The windows in a home play an instrumental role in complementing the unique character of the building.
When it comes to aesthetic concerns, most homeowners know what they want in terms of style and design.
Once these factors are decided, our job involves helping the discerning customer to select the most efficient and suitable product for his or her needs.
In general, the more windows there are in a house, the greater the likelihood is that substantial energy waste will occur, noticeably during the colder months of the year.
A window's glass offers limited
thermal resistance, and as a result a typical window pane can lose as much as
ten times more energy to the outdoors than the surrounding walls.
When improperly glazed or sealed, windows can act as household "energy robbers", and can often account for over 30% of a home's total heat loss.
In contrast, a high performance window that is suitably glazed and oriented properly in your home will reduce the instances of drafts and heat escaping in the winter, as well as diminishing effects of unwanted heat and UV rays during the summer.
For these reasons, and to prevent possible damage to the structure of your house, it is essential to install properly constructed windows that are of the correct type, size, and placement to ensure optimal efficiency.
