THERMAL PERFORMANCE RATINGS
U-Value (U)
Measures how well a product prevents heat from escaping a home or building. U-Factor ratings generally fall between 0.20 and 1.20. The lower the U-Factor, the better a product is at keeping the heat in. The U-Factor is particularly important in northern climates.
Visible Transmission (V)
Measures how much light comes through a product. VT is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The higher the VT, the higher the potential for daylighting.
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (S)
Measures how well a product blocks heat from the sun. SHGC is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The lower the SHGC, the better a product is at blocking unwanted heat gain. SHGC is particularly important in southern climates.
Condensation Resistance
A measure of the effectiveness of a window or glazing system to reduce the potential for condensation. The higher the condensation resistance factor, the more efficient the window and glazing system.
energySMART® FAMILY OF HIGH PERFORMANCE GLASS
The glass in a window is referred to as an Insulating Glass (IG) unit. Panes of glass are held together by a spacer. This creates an insulating air space between the panes. We offer high-quality IG unit choices to block damaging ultraviolet rays, block the cold and hold your warmth. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, inefficient existing windows could account for 10% to 25% of your energy bill. These savings often make window replacement a wise economic decision for homeowners. Replacing single-pane, clear glass windows with windows manufactured with Low-E coatings and argon gas reduces your energy consumption and can help save money.
FOAM FILLING BENEFITS
Not all vinyl windows are created equal. Some frame materials are insulated; some are not. Your energy dollars could be leaking out of your window frames if they are not filled with ENVIRONMENTAL GREEN™ polyurethane foam – the same type of foam that insulates your refrigerator and thermos.
Our window frames insulated with ENVIRONMENTAL GREEN™ foam give you:
- Increased Energy Savings
- Lower U-Value, increased thermal performance
Maximize the energy efficiency of your home’s windows and insist on ENVIRONMENTAL GREEN™ polyurethane foam-filled window frames.
