If you're considering home window replacement, here are key factors to aid you in the decision-making process. If your house windows are over 20 years old, they may lack efficiency in regulating heat transfer. Modern exterior windows offer significant improvements in reducing heating and cooling costs, thanks to advancements in materials, construction techniques, and low-E coatings on the glass.
Multiple-pane windows are filled with special gases that are viscous and slow-moving. These are usually argon or krypton which provide less heat convection than air does. This helps to protect your home by increasing R-value and U-value in your windows. Double and triple-paned window assemblies are known as IGUs which stands for Insulated Glass Units. These units minimize convective currents within the panes and reduce the transfer of heat through the panes. Triple-pane is generally better than double-pane windows when it comes R-value.
