What makes a NEW window efficient?

Energy-efficiency is the greatest benefit of window replacement.  Our new windows at EcoView Window and Doors control your home’s temperature more consistently, ultimately reducing energy bills and making everyday living more comfortable.

EcoView Windows and Doors proudly offers Energy Star rated windows manufactured by ENERGY STAR® Partner companies.   The ENERGY STAR® program certifies replacement products like windows and doors to ensure the environment is protected while keeping homeowner’s energy costs low.  In order to earn the ENERGY STAR® label, the product undergoes a series of evaluations to determine how well energy is saved based on strict guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.   


Choosing ENERGY STAR® products can save a household nearly $600 on energy bills each year.  This is significant savings considering the average household spends approximately $1,900 each year on energy alone.     


Cardinal LowE 366 Glass with Argon Gas  

  • The largest exposed surface of a window is the glass which directly affects the temperature of a room.  Two panes of insulated glass triple coated with LowE and filled with argon gas, this glass package lifts the performance threshold to a new level.    
  • LowE 366 is a clear coating that blocks even more solar gain, reflects heat, and lets the light stream in. It even outperforms the tinted glass often used in warm climates like Texas.  Ordinary glass cannot handle the heat when temperatures soar, and tinted glass darkens the view.  Plus, the superior insulating capability is a key for cold months as well.  LoowE 366 the ultimate performance glass, with energy savings throughout the year, in every part of the country.     
  • LowE 366 glass also provides fading protection blocking 95% of the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays.  This high performance glass package protects your furniture, carpets, curtains and wall coverings for years to come.  


Super Spacer®  

  • The spacer is critical to the efficiency and lifetime of your window.  The technology is a dual-seal system with one of the best Argon resistant bondline adhesives that keep the Argon gas in your window longer. This technology blocks heat and cold from passing through the window system, and the tight bond results in lower U-Values and higher energy savings.  It lasts up to five times longer than single-seal systems. Say goodbye to broken seals and lost efficiency with the best spacer on the market.  


Vinyl Frame  

  • Vinyl window frames are the top choice for an efficient window.  Designed and constructed with multiple chambers in the frame, vinyl windows provide thermal efficiency, rigidity and strength without excessive weight.  Drafty windows can increase electric bills 10-25%, but new insulating vinyl frames can keep your home’s efficiency in control.  
  • Vinyl is a superior insulator because heat does not efficiently transfer through the frame. The multi-chambered design ensures they can handle excessive levels of heat. Vinyl does not conduct heat like an aluminum frame and the hollow chambers reduce conduction even further.  This is very important in Texas when the sun heats up the exterior side of the frame, but the interior side stays cool.  Plus, in the winter, vinyl frames help keep the heat inside to enjoy!    

 

EcoView Windows and Doors also offers additional glass packages like foam filled frames, triple pane glass, dissimilar glass, laminated glass, suntitive glass, and much more!  Schedule your free window consultation today to learn more!

Any company can sell you an Energy Star rated window but window replacement is more than the just the window, installation is key! Sadly, a great window with a bad installation is a bad window. A good window with a bad installation will not take care of your problems you are currently experiencing with your old windows. The installation process is a key factor when replacing your windows to ensure your new windows will perform to your expectations. The importance of proper installation is often overlooked when considering window replacement but it should be a major part of the discussion.
