The professionals at Sunshine Windows and Siding can help you pick out the right windows for your home, and help you install those windows as well.
Energy Efficient Windows Palatine
Single pane windows are very common in older homes and those with cheap construction. Single pane windows have the least amount of insulation to them and can cause as much as 30% heat loss during the winter and increase in heat during the summer. Newer double and triple pane windows create barriers that keep heat in or out depending on the season. As well as the panes creating barriers, gasses such as argon or krypton (look out Superman) help to reduce the transfer of heat through the window as well. These light gases have a lower heat transfer rate than regular air. The last addition to modern windows to help make them energy efficient is something called low-e. This is a coating that is applied to the glass to keep out some wavelengths, like UV which causes the most heat, out of the home. This also helps to protect the quality of objects in the home higher by protecting them from damage from UV radiation.
Increased home value
Newer windows will improve the look of your home and also increase the value. Older windows can fade and weather, which if you live in a rustic cabin might look good, but the truth is for modern homes it doesn’t look as good. New windows can not only improve the curb appeal of your home but also improve the view from the inside of your home as well. New windows are a great way to give new life to the outside of your home without the expense of residing or brickwork. With new windows, the inside of your home gets a nice view of the outside as well. The overall look of a room can be improved with the right windows, and bring the beauty of nature inside, without allowing nature inside as well.
