Traditional windows often lead to unnecessary heat loss, condensation problems and a headache for the homeowner.  That is the very reason why windows have undergone a major technological evolution in recent times.  With this drastic change, it is now possible to have reduced heat loss and a low rate of air leakage.

Energy-efficient windows can benefit you in the following ways:

Insulation – Energy-efficient windows usually come with an R-value certification. It helps to determine the heat resistant capacity of the material that a window is made up of. A high R value on a window material states a high heat-resisting capacity of the window.  Traditional single pane windows have an R value of 1.  Usually window panes with an R value up to 3 are considered to be energy-efficient. Such window systems can help you save up on your heating and cooling bills.

Light and Noise Reduction – Energy-efficient windows usually have reflective coatings that help to block sunlight.  This helps in maintaining a relaxing light-level during  the daytime.  Multi-paned windows help in noise reduction.

Value – It’s not just the reduced energy bills that you get from these energy-efficient window panes.  A house that is equipped with energy-efficient features is considered to be more marketable, and for good reason.  It can increase the market value of a house and can decrease your tax burden at the same time.
