Flank a picture window with operating windows like casement or single hung to provide view and ventilation. Or place awning windows underneath.
Modern glass is more likely to chip on impact than break. If it does break, the shards that are produced tend to be small and cube-shaped, and they are retained by the buried plastic layer. This results in the 'spider's web' effect of crazing you often see on broken windscreens.
In a home window replacement project, you have the opportunity to change the operation style of your existing window or even put in a patio door.
Windows on the north, east and west walls can all be great for balancing interior light with natural light but can be energy drains in cold climates. Replacing these windows with energy-efficient options can help improve your heating bills.
If your car insurance includes windscreen cover, this means that the windscreen replacement cost is covered, as well as the cost of installation, but you may well be charged an excess.
A window’s spacer system, or the component that separates glass layers, is remarkably impactful on the energy efficiency of the entire unit. The traditional spacer system can increase heat loss and cause condensation to form on the edge of the glass. Window World's Warm-Edge Spacer is designed to block the path of escaping heat far more effectively, reducing condensation on winter glass.
Tempered glass is extremely strong. When it breaks, it shatters into little pebble-like pieces without sharp edges, reducing the likelihood of injury. Window and door manufacturers offer tempered glass for use in patio doors, side lights and windows in children's rooms, and in many cases, there are required codes for the use of tempered glass in bathrooms. Talk with your dealer or contractor to find out what's applicable to your home.
Our state-of-the-art technology cuts energy consumption and reduces your home’s susceptibility to damaging ultraviolet energy that can lead to the fading of carpets, curtains, and furniture by over 75%.
Be sure to select the read more most energy-efficient windows you can afford, and keep in mind that smaller windows will be more efficient in these situations.
If you're looking to control solar gain due to sun exposure you'll want to use extra high-efficiency forms of Low-E insulated glass to reject more of the sun's heat and damaging rays while letting you enjoy window light.
SolarZone Low-E glass coatings are created by applying a microscopic, undetectable metallic coating to the surface of an insulating glass unit.
Window replacement is one of the best ways to improve your home's value, add comfort, and even save on heating and cooling costs.
With some policies, the excess is waived. The good news is that windscreen claims on your insurance policy don't usually result in a premium increase.
