Bay Windows

One of the most important aspects of designing and fabricating doors and windows to become truly energy efficient is the soundness of engineering processes. This involves the thorough study, verification, and integration of low-emissive glass technology and processes, inclusion of innovative types of glass packs in the design and manufacturing processes, and the number and type of weather stripping employed in the final window product. Energy efficiency can also be enhanced with the addition of newer innovative technologies such as gas space fillers, particularly argon and krypton.

Krypton gas systems are far better than argon gas systems when it comes to providing absolute energy efficiency. Krypton is largely accepted as the ideal substance to be used in windows with narrow air spaces. Krypton gas has been shown to be very effective when used with triple pane glass panels for energy efficiency. Argon gas systems are nonetheless equally effective. However, in order to achieve optimal energy efficiency, argon must be used in combination with low emissive glass coating innovative solutions. Krypton’s heat conductive properties have also been shown to be lower than that of atmospheric air. This gives krypton the benefit of a much lower U-factor and better insulation.

Low-E glass, or low emissive glass, solutions are excellent in managing thermal fluctuations. Low emissive glass technologies ensures the more efficient, more practical, and more effective control of thermal transfers in the home. The system allows heat to be retained when it is too cold outside while at the same time allowing heat to be given off when it becomes too hot inside. Thermal fluctuations can significantly increase energy costs. Low emissive glass innovations address these issues by allowing homes to be more efficient in their energy management.

Super Spacer is another innovative solution meant to work very efficiently with low emissive glass coated systems. In winter, heat is kept inside the house while in summer, heat is kept outside the house. Super Spacer greatly enhances energy efficiency by allowing homeowners to have full control of differences in temperatures.

If you are going to paint your window year in and year out, you are wasting money, not to mention physical energy. It is thus important to choose an exterior paint that can assure you of maximum paint bonding ability to lengthen the overall lifespan of the paint on your window.
