    What You Need to Know About Our Energy-Efficient Windows

     

    All homeowners are similar in one respect – they want a peaceful, quiet and comfortable home. They would like to keep their monthly energy bills at a minimum and help the environment along the way. And at Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco, we offer products that help you in this regard: our highly energy-efficient replacement windows.

    What You Need to Know About Our Energy-Efficient Windows

    Glazing Technology

    Double-glazed windows have two sheets of glass with a gap in between – normally about 16 millimeters – to create an insulating barrier to keep the heat inside. Usually, gases such as argon, xenon or krypton fill the gap between the sheets of glass.

    At Renewal by Andersen, our standard glass package, the High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass has an invisible coating of metal oxide on one of the internal panes. It allows the heat and light in but prevents a certain amount of heat from escaping. This makes it best for the Bay Area, which experiences cool and wet winters, and hot and dry summers.

    Exclusive Fibrex® Frame

    Finding a suitable frame and glass is necessary to ensure the energy efficiency of your replacement windows. Checking the U-values or rate of heat loss of windows can provide a more complete idea of its thermal performance. It is equally important to choose frames that can reduce air infiltration that can easily save you 40% off heating and cooling bills.

    We utilize a unique patented frame with our exclusive composite material, Fibrex®. It has the strength of wood and the simplicity and ease of vinyl. This material allows for thinner frames and sashes with a tighter, more snug fit to keep indoor air from escaping.

    Overall, if you are considering replacement windows, do not limit yourself to what other contractors may say. Research your home environment, personal needs and preferences, and try as much as you can to find a trustworthy window replacement contractor that will give you the best options considering all your different needs.
