Windows :: A Team Construction

Nothing can improve the appearance of an older home like new windows. Whether you’re planning to sell your home, or are just sprucing the place up, you can be confident in knowing that you’re improving the appearance and value of your home. In addition to improving your home’s appearance, replacing your old windows will also reduce your heating and cooling costs. Much energy is lost by single-paned windows through the glass and through air leaks around loose-fitting components. Place your hand around a window on a cold and windy day – you can feel the cool air movement. Stop that air flow, and your home will be more comfortable and energy efficient.

The best replacement windows will include features such as double or triple-glazing with argon or krypton gas between the layers, heat reflective or Low-E coatings. These can substantially reduce your heating/cooling bill. Look for the Energy Star logo. In a Consumer Reports consumer rating for replacement windows, the two models rated as Best Buys were the Pella ProLine and the Anderson 200 Series Tilt Wash.
