Energy Efficient Windows
|
Energy efficient windows will help your home or office building save on wasting energy as well as your utility costs over the long run. They usually always qualify for both a state and federal tax credit and/or rebate.
This is primarily accomplished through two main forms of reinforcement. One, being the application of a low-e glass which is fabricated through a process which binds micro sized metallics to the second surface of the window pane. (801) 447-1972 Low-E glass is able to let shorter solar sun rays inside your home during the colder winter months, but ls also able to block larger sun rays during the hotter summer months. Another way our energy efficient windows are great is through the use of argon gas. Argon is placed between the air cracks of either our double or triple paned windows. Argon is actually close to 40% more dense than air which makes it the premier choice for insulating a window. It also has a very low thermal conductivity making it great for keeping unwanted temperatures from getup or inside your home. |
All of our energy efficient windows are Energy Star rated windows which are built to last with extremely low maintenance in mind. Our new home replacement windows will never crack, chip, peel, warp, or need paint or putty so long as you own them.

If you are looking on this particular page, then chances are that you already are sold on the wonderful features of the energy efficient (Low E & Energy Star Rated) window! That is a great first step. Now on to the fun part...picking out the perfect window(s) for your home. Salt Lake City Windows advises if you are planning on upgrading your home, you might as well overhaul the entire house and get every window replaced with more energy efficient windows.
You really can not go wrong when you combine the energy saving technology with the look and price of the composite window. It seems to be a perfect compromise between the wood and vinyl window. Mainly because the vinyl windows are a flat tone where you can tell that the frame is obviously plastic in contrast to a wood window where the frame is elegant and displays rich tones of the grain depending on the type of stain/color you get.
The composite window is a mix between both because it has the look of wood yet the durability of vinyl. In fact, because the composite window is made out of very strong particles, it is usually way more resistant than vinyl. Granted, both vinyl and composite window frames are going to last for a very long time.
The other reason that the composite window is a good "middle" choice is that the cost is not the cheapest (so the windows do not look cheap) and the cost is considerably lower than wood windows which look and feel awesome and are second to none. So why not have the best of both worlds? Affordable and extravagant?
Are you tired of covering your furniture with blankets in the summer so the sun coming in your windows will not fade it? Does your hardwood or carpet look years older where the sun comes in and lands on it? Tired of repainting your sunny family room every single year because of paint fade?
Low-E or low thermal emissivity windows (energy efficient windows) can not only stop that from happening but can save you a ton on your heating and cooling costs! These windows reflect, absorb and emit your homes radiant energy, saving you a ton of money on heating and cooling costs!
Ever wonder why your rooms can be so hot during the day and yet freezing when the sun sets? Why you seem to have to turn your heat way up and your cooling way down despite the fact your air conditioner and heating unit are almost brand new? Do you have your heating and cooling units inspected every year thinking something has to be wrong only to be told they are in perfect working condition?
That’s because any energy either coming in from the sun or being made by your heater or cooler is getting trapped in your old clear pane windows. The energy is not put to good use in the winter or summer. In the summer, the goal would be to have the longer, hotter rays reflected off your windows and away from the house. This is done with a tin dioxide, or hard coat. This will allow your windows to not just trap the sun's heat but reflect it away.
In the winter, we want the windows to absorb the shorter rays from the sun to assist your heater in warming up your house by reflecting your homes heat back into your home and not out through your thin, leaky windows! There is also another way to do this called a soft coat where the window is double paned and has several thin layers of reflective silver applied.
This is a more expensive option, but one of the best. At Salt Lake City Windows, we offer both energy efficient window (low e/energy star) options.
No matter which option you chose, your wallet and your air conditioner and heater will thank you! You will save years of wear and tear on these very expensive appliances if you can run them more conservatively! A lot of our customers have found that they can stop running their air conditioner at night when the sun goes down simply because their rooms are staying so much cooler during the day.
And, with our special air-flow screens which have a unique design to let air through, and keep particulates and bugs out on every window, you can take full advantage of cross drafts and breezes for a more natural, blissful sleep. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to open your windows and not have the electrical hum of an air conditioner all the time? With Salt Lake City Windows, you will be able to enjoy the summer nights, rather than dread them.
