Selecting the right window when doing a window replacementÂ
When choosing the right replacement of  your windows it is important to consider several essential things when to replace you old window with the most suitable window,
* Type of your window; is it a single pane or a double pane window. If your window is a single pane window, you should consider replacing it with double pane window, which are of better performance and regulate external conditions, better saving energy and energy bill expenses. There are double pane windows today with high-performance glass low-e or spectrally selective coatings.
* Location of your home– if your home is in a location with flying debris from winds and storms such as at the coastal beach, near a quarry or in a sand desert it’s advisable to go for impact resistance windows.
* The climate condition of your home area:-windows contribute to an increase in energy consumption either by the room heaters or by the air conditioners by a significant percentage of 10% to 25% if they are not compatible with the climate of the area and consequently an increase in expenditure on energy bills.
* Colder climates you should consider windows that retain most of the house or room heat. The gas-filled windows with low-e coating are ideal are ideal for such climates where retention of the room warmth is much needed as they reflect back the rooms heat.
* Warmer climates or hot & humid climates it is more advisable to replace your old windows with windows that have less heat absorption capability/ windows that have some reflective capability to reflect away the solar heat. Panes with spectrally selective coatings are more ideal so these warmer areas.
* Blended Climates seasonally cold and hot temperatures they should consider windows with both low SHGCs (SHGCs is a measure of solar radiation through a window) and low U-factor (U-factor is the measure through which non-solar heat is conducted away through a window, a skylight or other openings of a building.)
Carefully select the right window by looking for the whole unit U-factor and SHGCs rather than the center-of-glass (COG) U-factor and SHGCS. The whole unit measure reflects the energy performance of the whole pane more accurately. After selecting, have the window fixed by a professionally trained expert to have the window fixed properly and for the validity of your warrant. Replace your window today with the right and most suitable window and not only save energy and expenses on energy bills but, also expenses on regular house maintenances.
