Energy Savings Information
The sun's energy is divided into three wavelengths. Ultraviolet which you can't see, but causes damage like sunburn. Visible light which, of course, you can see. And Infrared which you can't see but can feel as heat. Windows America offers Low E options that keep these wavelengths where they belong.Our Solarban Low E glass, made by PPG, actually "knows" what kind of light to let in and what kind to keep out. Adding Low E coating to the glass in your windows makes them up to 60% more efficient than without Low E. This keeps your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter and keeps harmful UV from fading your carpet and furniture. Our double paned Low-E glass has a energy R value of 4.35 and blocks 84% of the UV rays from entering your home.
Our windows with Energy Saver Plus (double pane with argon gas) or Energy Saver Supreme glass (triple pane with krypton gas) carry the Energy Star rating for all regions of the United States.
An average household spends 40% of its annual energy budget on heating and cooling. American Classic vinyl windows carrying the ENERGY STAR label can guarantee saving on those costs up to 30%.
All windows are NOT created equally. American Classic vinyl windows are MORE THAN TWICE AS EFFICIENT as windows manufactured ten years ago. Consider saving both money and energy by replacing your older windows today! We will be happy to give you a free no-obligation quote.
