What Makes an Energy-Efficient Replacement Window

WindowFits is committed to bringing to you the most energy-efficient windows on the market. We proudly install replacement windows and patio doors that use advanced technology and are known for our attention to detail. There are several energy-efficient components to consider that affect a replacement window’s energy performance. Here’s what makes replacement windows from WindowFits better.

Replacement Windows’ Components That Affect Performance

Every component of the replacement window needs to contribute to its thermal performance for a window to be energy efficient. That’s why the manufacturing partners we work with put a lot of thought and craftsmanship into every detail of our replacement windows, from the frame to the glass panes. Altogether, our replacement windows are exceptionally energy-efficient with superior features.

  • Stronger frames. Typical vinyl windows are constructed with mechanically-fastened corners, but our replacement window frames and sashes are fusion-welded for greater strength. Fusion welding also creates an impenetrable barrier that eliminates air and water infiltration. Our exclusive extrusion design is also engineered with several internal chambers and angles for increased strength.
  • Foam-filled frames. Vinyl windows offer the best protection from energy loss when filled with polyurethane insulating foam. Our polyurethane foam-filled extrusions provide higher R-values than other vinyl windows for truly effective insulation.
  • Low-E glass. Thin Low-E coatings applied to the surface give glass the ability to reflect heat back to its source, boosting energy performance and providing customizable levels of reflectivity, clearness and UV protection. At WindowFits we offer several Low-E options so you can tailor window glass to your area.
  • Multiple panes. Two panes of glass, insulate much better than a single pane of glass. The panels are usually separated by a space filled with air or gas. Windows from WindowFits feature glass systems with double or triple panes that provide superior value and thermal performance, and meet or exceed ENERGY STAR windows requirements.
  • Gas fill. Heavy gases inserted between window panes offer better insulation than air to minimize heat exchange. Our windows are manufactured with a argon fill for superior insulation.
  • Warm-edge spacers. A spacer maintains the correct distance between glass panes and insulates pane edges, cutting down on heat transfer through the window. Our high performance spacer system provides exceptional value and thermal performance.
  • Airtight seals. When your windows are installed, it’s important that they are properly fitted into the window space and that the space is then filled to create an airtight seal. Preventing air leaks is essential for you to reap the rest of the energy-efficient benefits of your windows.
Benefits of Our Energy-Efficient Windows

All of the components of our windows contribute to exceptional energy efficiency for your home.

Therefore, the right energy-efficient windows can drastically improve the efficiency of your entire home. Our replacement windows help reduce strain on your HVAC system and can lead to lower energy bills each month.
