Low-E Glass
All materials, including windows, re-radiate heat in the form of long-wave infrared energy. By reducing the emissivity of one or more of its surfaces, Low-E glass can improve a window’s insulation capacity and help reduce home energy losses.
It also helps to prevent harmful UV radiation from entering the living space, which can cause sunburn and damage carpets and furniture over time. You can easily tell if you have double-pane windows that contain Low-E glass by holding a lit flame up to them at night. You should see four reflections, and one of them will be a different color than the others.
Our company offers a variety of Low-E glass options that provide optimal thermal performance for various climates, including SunFlow, SmartGlass and SolarResist. We also offer PGT Eze-Breeze vinyl enclosures, as well as storm doors and fogged insulated window glass.
Single Sliding Windows
If you want to improve your home’s ventilation with a window that opens without protruding into walkways, consider installing single sliding windows. These windows have one fixed section and a sash that slides horizontally to open.
They’re a great choice for rooms that need the most ventilation, as they allow more air to enter your home. They also have an aesthetically appealing simple design.
You can install them on your new construction or replacement projects. Tafco’s Insulated Basement Vinyl Slider Window is designed for easy installation. It can be installed using a 1/2 in. nailing flange or you can remove the flange and install through pre-punched installation holes in the jamb. This window has a durable Low-E glass and a full screen to keep insects out.
Bay & Bow Windows
Both bay windows and bow windows add charm to a home. However, the two types have a few key differences that make them different from each other. These differences include the number of sections, whether the windows are rounded, and the window type used in each section.
Both windows provide additional interior space and offer a gorgeous view of the surrounding landscape. But which one is best for your home?
A bay window consists of three windows and forms a semi-circular protrusion that makes the house look bigger. This type of window fits well with Victorian-style homes and ranch-style houses. However, it may not look good with some modern-style homes because of its angular lines and flat planes. A bow window, on the other hand, combines different window styles and has a soft, rounded look.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Replacing outdated windows with new energy-efficient ones can save you money on your utility bills and improve your home’s comfort. These windows are designed to minimize heat transfer, reduce drafts and boost insulation, helping your heating and cooling system work less hard.
A professional window contractor will help you choose a style and material that fits your needs and budget. Vinyl, for example, is an affordable option that also provides excellent insulation. Fiberglass is another durable choice that can withstand extreme temperatures. Wood frames, on the other hand, offer a classic look that can enhance your home’s curb appeal and value.
