North Texas weather extremes can be influenced by both heat domes and arctic blasts. The record high temperatures were set back in late June, 1980. That’s where we saw temperatures of 112 and 113 degrees!
But, just because it’s been a while, it doesn’t mean our temperatures can frequently creep up near 100 degrees from Mid July thru the end of August. You’ll need exceptionally energy efficient and solar heat gain reflecting windows or your A/C can end up running 24/7!
So, Should Your Look At Triple-Pane Windows For Arlington?
As you know, Arlington winters are, for the most part, mild. With average temperatures ranging in the high 30’s for the lows and into near 60 degrees in the day time. No doubt, Minnesota and Michigan residents would call that a heat wave! Extreme Northern climates are where triple-pane windows make sense because the primary goal up there is to keep the heated air in. Stick with double pane for Texas.
Double-Pane Windows With Low-E Coatings Work Best In Our Climate!
With The Window Experts, you’re going to be able to find the perfect combination of window frame material and operating style, the perfect color, and the perfect glass package for your home. We are confident of this because we have vetted dozens of window and door manufacturers and have selected the best of the best.
We have several manufacturers of each of the window frame materials available: Vinyl, Aluminum, Wood, Fiberglass, Composite, and “clad” windows with aluminum or fiberglass exterior with wood or synthetic wood interior.
In the video on this page, Jeff explains in detail what we feel is an exceptional value in vinyl replacement windows for Arlington. Now, vinyl is typically offered at the low end of the window buying world. But Anlin uses a premium quality vinyl that is resistant to shrinking, fading, cracking, and chipping. Anlin uses more “sun shield” (titanium dioxide) in their formula to reach the pinnacle of vinyl windows!
Besides Choice of Frame Material, What Other features For Best Arlington Windows?
There are 4 additional factors or components to pay attention to:
- Glass Package: In our industry, this is referred to as the IGU (insulating glass unit). We like 2 panes of double strength glass coated with 3 coats of Low-E coatings. We often spec Cardinal Glass LoE366 due to its triple coatings and its still reasonable 66 VT (visible transmission). You’ll still be plenty of natural light while blocking ultra-violet light and solar heat gain.
- Sound Transmission Class: Your home will be quieter due to Anlin’s standard package of double pane glass. You’ll get an STC rating of 28-29 which will subdue normal neighborhood sounds. Step it up to Anlin’s Sound Package and sounds from barking dogs and lawnmowers will drop by about 50%. Anlin achieves an STC number of 32-34 using asymmetric glass thicknesses.
- Frame Colors: With Anlin’s premium vinyl frames, you can select between 15 different colors. 3 basic colors are baked into the vinyl (white, tan, adobe) while their premium black designer series window frames are a Capstock process which is an acrylic finish co-extruded with the vinyl. Finally, there are an additional 11 Thermacoat™ process colors to choose from. With Anlin, the interior color choices remain the three basic colors.
- Window Opening Styles: As with other window manufacturers, there is an array of choices when it comes to operating styles and fixed windows. Double-hung, single-hung, slider, picture, architectural shapes, casements, hoppers, awnings, and combinations of window types for large openings. Replace with same style or create your own look.
