Windows Carlsbad, Windows Oceanside:Energy Efficient Window Components

An energy-efficient window will have (at a very minimum):      

• Double-pane insulated glass

• Heat-resistant (Low-E) glass coating
• Airtight frames
• ENERGY STAR® rating

Vinyl and Fiberglass Frame Windows
Two of the more energy efficient frame materials are vinyl and fiberglass.

• They both reduce heat transfer and contribute to insulation value.
• Both can be constructed with chambers within the frame to increase strength and insulation, while reducing sound and noise levels.

Dual Pane Glass Windows:

• Dual-pane designs use an air or gas-filled space between two panes of glass-superior insulation to single pane windows.
• Special low emissivity (called “Low-E’)  coating on the glass blocks out infrared light, to keep heat inside in the San Diego area winter, and outside in the warm Southern California summers.

• Low E coated windows filter the UV (ultraviolet) light (UV) to help protect interior furnishings from fading.

Window Spacer

• A spacer –designed and spaced the correct distance between the dual glass panes-provides optimal airflow between each window pane.
• Too much or too little airflow can affect the overall efficiency of window glass insulation.
• The window spacer affects expansion and contraction-reducing dreaded window condensation.
