If you’ve decided to replace your old windows with more energy-efficient models, there
are a few things you should know. First, many common replacement windows have vinyl
or aluminum frames, but both of these materials have drawbacks. Vinyl expands and
contacts at a high rate, causing air leakage over time and aluminum can transfer warm
and cold air indoors, reducing energy efficiency. A better choice is Ultrex fiberglass, which
is eight times stronger than vinyl and is five hundred times less conductive than aluminum.
Used in Infinity Replacement Windows from Marvin, Ultrex is considered an excellent
choice for energy efficiency and durability. Another way to be sure of a product’s energy
efficiency is to see if it carries independent certifications from organizations such as
Energy Star or the National Fenestration Rating Council. Also, a high-quality installation is
critical to ensuring ears of hassle-free performance from your new windows. So, look for
replacement window companies with years of installation experience and a great local
reputation. For more information, call 303-794-0490 or visit us online at WindowsForYourHome.com.
