If eyes are the window into the soul, windows are the eyes into the home. Windows provide light and a view into outside world when constructed the right way in a home. Installing the right types of windows is crucial to experiencing the best ambiance and creating specific atmospheres in a space. At Watson Window, we provide many different designs that are made to enhance a room as well as increase the energy efficiency of a home.
Energy Savings With the Right Windows
There are many types of windows to choose from and most of the differences among them have to do with energy conservation. The following windows all offer a certain amount of insulation to a home:
- Double pane – Built with two panes of glass, this window design offers the insulation of a thin layer of air. Even this small layer can increase the R-value of the home.
- Triple pane – Much like the double pane, but manufactured with three panes of glass instead of just two.
- Energy Star – Windows that comply with the U.S. government’s energy efficiency standards carry the energy star badge.
- Low-E – These windows insulate but with a special coating on the glass instead of with a buffer layer of air.
- Gas-filled – Many double and triple paned windows are filled with a gas, such as argon or krypton. This additional gas provides protection from the sun’s UV rays and insulation for the home.
