Have you heard of the term LowE? This is a film that is installed on the surface of one of the panes of glass. It gives that appearance of a very slight tint, compared to clear glass. This film helps keep the warm air inside in the winter, and will also let some heat transmitted from the sun. In the summer time with the higher angle of the sun, it’s heawindow makeupt is not generated through as much.


Typical windows, no matter if wood or vinyl will have two panes of glass. In between the panes, usually ½” to as much as 1” will be filled with an argon gas. Wind
ow frames also have improved with technology. There are spacers that create a thermal break. Frames can account for a large portion of energy loss. Wood, vinyl and fiberglass are all options for frames. In vinyl windows, hollow chambers are created to help the transfer through the jamb. There is also a tax credit available for 2011.  Contact Us for more more information.
