Exactly what makes a window energy efficient? • Vinyl Windows and Doors: using vinyl in windows and/or doors works as an insulator and offers low conductivity. Its thermal properties are far better than the use of aluminum steel, and stainless steel. • Low E Glass Coating: transparent metallic oxide coating is applied to the glass surface that allows short-wave energy to pass through but reflects long-wave infrared energy for greater thermal efficiency. This prevents heat from being transferred through the window and door. • Spacer Systems: spacers are made of highly thermally prohibitive materials and are placed between the glass panes to help seal the entire unit. This works to create a space for inert gases and further decrease the temperature transfer. • Laminated Glass for Windows and Doors: laminated glass consists of a durable interlayer sealed between the two layers of glass. This has a few different benefits: it acts as a barrier against energy loss, reduces noise transmission, and helps block damaging UV rays. It also is helpful against unwanted intrusion. If you find windows that are specifically designed with the plan of conserving heat and are energy-efficient you are already on your way to saving yourself money.
