Studies and statistics indicate that energy-efficient windows can save homeowners money on their monthly utility bills. They also decrease heating and cooling costs by providing more insulation and reducing air leakage.
JELD-WEN offers a variety of options to help maximize the energy efficiency of your home. These include frames made from natural materials that offer good insulation and low maintenance, as well as modern products like vinyl and fiberglass.
Triple-pane windows
Triple-pane windows are a great option for energy-efficient homes. They offer superior insulation compared to double-pane windows, and they also reduce noise levels. They are a good choice for homes with northern climate zones, where heating is the primary energy use.
The three panes of glass are separated by a spacer and sealed with argon gas, which helps to reduce the transfer of heat. They can improve your U-factor by up to 52%, reducing your energy costs.
These windows also come with a low-emissivity coating that reflects sunlight and other harmful UV rays, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. They can also protect your furniture, carpets, and other interior materials from fading and damage.
Although triple-pane windows are more expensive than double-pane windows, they are worth the investment if you plan to stay in your home for many years. They can help you save on your energy bills, and they can also increase the value of your home.
Low-E windows
When combined with other energy-efficient features such as warm edge spacer systems and argon gas fills, low-E windows offer the best possible insulation. They prevent heat loss during the winter and allow cold air to flow through during summer, helping to keep your home or business at a comfortable temperature all year round.
These windows have a special coating that reflects infrared and ultraviolet radiation. This helps to minimize the amount of sunlight that enters your home, which in turn reduces your energy costs.
The coating is applied to the glass ribbon during the manufacturing process using a pyrolytic procedure. This process causes the low-E to fuse with the glass surface at extremely high temperatures, creating a hard coat that is very durable and easy to maintain. Choose from a variety of grid patterns, including Colonial, Prairie, and specified equal light, to complement your home or commercial building. You can even opt for a security bar that provides an extra layer of protection against break-ins or severe weather.
Colonial grids
Window grids, also known as muntins, are decorative window coverings that add a classic, ordered look to your home. They are available in a variety of styles, and some are more suitable for certain homes than others.
Colonial grids are symmetrical and offer a traditional look that complements most architectural styles. They are a good option for older homes and add an air of elegance to any home. They are often paired with double-hung windows and are frequently divided into six sections on both sashes, making them six-up and six-down.
Prairie-style window grids are more akin to Craftsman-style windows and are designed to maximize the amount of unobstructed space in the glass. They can be paired with casement windows and are commonly used in Prairie-style homes.
Many modern homes eschew grids for a clean, minimalist look. However, if you have a more traditional style of home, you can choose either colonial or diamond grids to enhance your windows. Energy-efficient windows improve the comfort of your home and reduce energy consumption, which helps you save money on your utility bills. According to the Department of Energy, you can save up to $273 per year by upgrading your windows.
Diamond grids
JELD-WEN windows are designed to reduce heating and cooling costs by reducing drafts and providing better insulation. They feature double-pane glass, which helps keep the heat in during winter and out during summer. They are available in vinyl, aluminum, wood (and clad-wood), and composite materials. These windows can also be custom crafted to fit specific spaces in your home or business.
Energy-efficient windows are an excellent choice for any room in your home or commercial establishment. They help reduce the need for artificial heating and cooling, resulting in significant savings on your utility bills. They also help improve indoor temperature consistency and reduce noise pollution.
Picture windows are large, non-opening window types that provide unobstructed views of the outdoors. They are often a focal point of your home or business, and their minimalist design offers both visual appeal and energy efficiency. They are ideal for letting natural light flood into rooms without compromising privacy or security.
