Choosing new windows for your home can feel confusing. There are many styles and brands, and each one promises better comfort and lower bills. The good news is that energy efficient windows do make a big difference. They help keep your home warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and quiet all year long.
At Guy Roofing, our two most popular window choices among homeowners are:
- GuyGuard Heritage Windows
- GuyGuard Legacy Windows
Both options are great. One focuses on strong everyday performance. The other focuses on energy savings and comfort. This guide will help you understand each one so you can choose the best windows for your home.
What Makes a Window Energy Efficient
Energy efficient windows have special features that help stop energy loss. These features include:
Low-E glass
This glass has a clear coating that reflects heat. It keeps warm air inside during winter and blocks unwanted heat from the sun in summer.
Insulated glass with argon or krypton gas
Gas between the panes slows down heat transfer. This keeps your indoor air more stable and saves on power bills.
Strong frames with many insulating chambers
Vinyl frames with multiple chambers help stop drafts. Both window lines use this type of frame.
Warm edge spacers
These are the parts that separate the panes of glass. Warm edge spacers help reduce heat loss around the edges of the window.
Tight seals and secure locks
A well-sealed window stops air leaks. Both window lines include advanced sealing systems and high quality locks.
These features work together to create a window that stays tight, strong, and energy efficient for many years.
