Vinyl Replacement and the Evolution of Energy Efficient Windows
Vinyl replacement products have changed the way homeowners think about comfort, efficiency, and the cost of heating and cooling their homes. Whether it is winter or summer, somehow, one way or another, your energy bills are being affected by the lack of energy efficient products in your home.
There are many factors in a home that could be causing higher than standard energy bills, but let’s focus on one single area of your home which can attribute the most to this dilemma… your windows! Did you know that up to 70 percent of your heat and 46 percent of your air conditioning are escaping your home through your windows?
How Vinyl Replacement Changed the Window Industry
Do you know there is a way in which you can cut up to 25 percent on your energy cost per month and battle this problem? Let me stress this, it may be your home’s fault, but by no means is this your fault. It is simply the evolution of products.
Who would have guessed that in the early 1900’s windows would have evolved from wood, single pane glass windows into window frames manufactured of aluminum and eventually into modern vinyl replacement technology with two panes of glass?
On top of that they started adding a special coating called low-e and began inserting argon gas between the panes of glass. This development in vinyl replacement window design was a major step forward in helping homeowners improve efficiency and comfort.
Vinyl Replacement Technology Improves Energy Efficiency
No one really would have thought this evolution would have occurred, but it did. Manufacturers have made strides in vinyl replacement engineering for the enhancement and efficiency of the products homeowners now have available at their fingertips.
It is this type of vinyl replacement innovation that gives homeowners the ability to reduce heating and cooling costs throughout the year.
One company has taken this evolution of ideas and manufacturing practices to an entirely new phase of development. A new standard has been set in the window industry.
Vinyl Replacement Windows Reach a New Level of Performance
At Thrush & Son, we are proud to be the only dealer in Southwest Ohio capable of providing homeowners with this type of energy efficiency. We are not talking about the standard double pane vinyl replacement window with a single layer of low-e coating and argon gas that most companies sell.
We are talking about the Energy Wall Energy Weld Series 8000 vinyl replacement system with the Extreme 2 glass package.
This package includes a black stainless steel spacer and triple coated, triple pane glass filled with argon gas. In a previous blog of ours, “What in the world do the letters R and U mean?”, we explained what the U-Value of a product theoretically means.
When we speak of U-Value we are speaking about the thermal transfer of heat throughout a product, such as the transfer of heat through glass. The easiest way to understand this number is simple — the lower it is, the better the product is at reducing heat loss.
The Enerhttps://www.thrushandson.com/gy Weld Series 8000 vinyl replacement window, including the Extreme 2 glass package, comes in with an astonishing U-Value of .19.
That number right there is the reason this window line has been rated Most Efficient by Energy Star. These vinyl replacement windows are designed to make your home more energy efficient and save you money over time.
Why Vinyl Replacement Continues to Evolve
There are so many features of the Energy Weld Series 8000 window that one blog will not do this great product justice. We could go on about the foam filled frame and sash, the dual tech locking system, the balance system, multiple exterior paint colors, interior wood grain finishes, and more.
But there is not enough time in the day! There is one more thing we would like to tell you about.
