Window replacement is a popular home improvement project. It was one of the top five projects that had the highest recoup value for East North Central region, according to Remodeling magazine’s 2015 “Cost Vs. Value” report.
Changing old windows have many benefits. Aside from boosting curb appeal, replacement windows in Chicagoland can also improve overall indoor comfort. They can also help lessen the use of your heating and cooling systems.
A Cozier Home
Inefficient windows let drafts in because of gaps in the frame. When air circulates in your home, there is a chance that cool or warm air will escape through these holes and gaps. New windows that are certified by ENERGY STAR help keep homes warm during cold days and reduce heat gain during summer.
To improve insulation, windows should be properly sealed and insulated. Elevate, Marvin, and Sunrise windows from NEXT Door & Window are all custom measured to your exact needs. A window that fits tightly in the opening reduces the chances of drafts.
Less Energy Use, More Money
Energy performance is measured using a U-factor and a solar heat gain coefficient. The National Fenestration Rating Council has set these ratings to make sure windows can save energy. A lower U-factor indicates lower heat transfer, while a lower solar heat gain coefficient means a window can block solar heat better.
High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass like that of Andersen windows can reflect heat better than any other window material. Window frames can also contribute to overall energy efficiency. Ultrex® fiberglass from Marvin is a great insulator that reduces the use of air-conditioning and heaters.
