What do you expect from your new windows?

Improved energy-efficiency:

If you’re replacing the original windows in your home, they’re likely single pane windows – the least energy-efficient of all. You can reduce your energy consumption by choosing windows that combine some or all of the following features:

NFRC perfomance rating:

The National Fenestration Rating Council is an independent non-profit organization that establishes objective energy performance ratings. Products tested by the NFRC will be labeled with detailed energy ratings. See a breakdown here.

Energy performance rating:

Check the ENERGY STAR® rating which has been established for minimum energy performance by climate. Find more information about ENERGY STAR® ratings here.

Use of passive solar energy:

South-facing windows should have a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) greater than 0.6 and a U-factor of 0.35 or less. East, West, and North facing windows should have a low SHGC to help reduce cooling loads.

Glass packs:

Double or triple pane glass packs provide greater insulation and sound reduction.

Spacers:

Spacers secure the panes of glass to ensure they remain the proper distance apart, and they protect the edges from heat and cooling loss.

Gas Fill:

Argon or Krypton are inert gasses that when added between the panes of glass inhibit the transfer of heat or cold through the glass pack.

Low-E Glass Coatings:

This thin layer on the glass surface reduces solar heat gain and provides protection from UV rays that can cause fading in furniture and carpeting. Houston Window Experts can come to your home and advise you on which energy-efficient features will work best in your home.

Improved safety and security:

The type of glass used in different parts of your home can be customized for maximum safety and security:

Tempered glass:

This glass is typically used for windows that are low to the ground, close to a walk-way, or are near a bathtub or shower. It’s designed to reduce injury in case it breaks.

Laminated glass:

This glass package is designed to prevent intrusion through your windows. Crowbar-wielding burglars are kept out. See a demonstration here.

Hurricane glass:

As part of the gulf coast region, having this laminated, impact-rated glass may be mandated by the Texas Department of Insurance for your area. The advisors at Houston Window Experts can help determine which type of glass will benefit your safety and security. Frame materials provide different benefits:

Vinyl frames:

Vinyl windows are best when it comes to efficiency and maintenance. They never need painting, don’t transfer heat or cold, and can withstand the Houston summer heat.

Fiberglass frames:

While fiberglass window frames are more expensive, they’re as energy-efficient as vinyl with the added advantage of being a high-performance window with the strength to last for decades.

Aluminum frames:

The strongest frame in the industry but the least energy-efficient. If you’re trying to match existing aluminum frames, they are a wise choice.

Thermally-broken Aluminum frames:

The strength and durability of aluminum but engineered to prevent the transfer of heat. This is achieved by inserting a non-conductive material between the inner and outer frames.
