Replacement Windows aren't just new squares in your wall!

Window quality and window technology have increased dramatically over the last few years. According to the Federal Government, the number one source of energy loss in most homes is windows. Surprisingly, many builders still install cheap (poorly manufactured) aluminum windows in their homes. Although these aluminum windows are double-paned, they are extremely inefficient. Let us show you the difference.

We believe in Simonton Replacement Windows so much that we installed them in our office. Other window manufacturers offered to give us with their windows for free but we chose to pay full price and install the Simonton Windows. They are simply the best in the market! Here's the scoop on windows and window technology.

Aluminum windows are great conductors of heat and cold. When it's hot or cold outside, the aluminum frame heats-up or cools down, according to the temperature. The aluminum frame transfers the outside conditions right into your home! Simonton windows are constructed with a high-grade PVC vinyl. Vinyl windows do not transfer heat and cold as do the aluminum windows. The vinyl frames of Simonton are larger than aluminum windows and they are constructed with baffled (hollowed) chambers. These chambers create additional dead-air space, increasing the thermal efficiency of the windows.

Every detail, from the chemically welded corners to the tightness and integrity of the seals is far superior to that of a standard aluminum window. The glass is double-strength and double insulated with the best materials in the market. Other details like the patented sloped sill and the super-spacer technology is designed to provide the most energy efficient and beautiful window in the market.

Some of the most important benefits with our Simonton windows are the Low-E coatings and Argon gas technology. Ultraviolet light is the invisible energy that heats up a home, fades furniture & carpet, and gives a nice sunburn if you're not careful! Simonton has developed the technology called Low-E to combat this problem. Nearly invisible, Low-E coatings are chemically applied at the factory during the manufacturing process. Once in place, it reflects most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet light. The result is a cooler interior with less damage to your rugs, furniture, and fabrics.

Another option that works quite well is Argon Gas. Just before the window is sealed, the airspace between the 2 panes of glass is vacuumed-out and filled with Argon. Argon is an inert gas that's much heavier than air. It's crystal clear but dense enough to greatly increase the thermal efficiency (and sound quality) of the interior.

Many of our clients have reported immediate results with lower cooling bills. Most clients comment that their homes sound more quiet right after we finish the installation. Everything from the Argon gas to the specially patented frames makes a huge difference. Whether you'd like an in-home demonstration or just some literature, let us know.
