Reasons why you should consider Low E & Argon Gas windows
These energy-efficient windows are made to essentially neutralize the effects of
changing weather on the inside of your home. They help keep a constant temperature
longer so your air-conditioning and heating systems don’t have to boot up quite so
often. Additionally, they’re designed with either double or triple-pane glass, which
working in tandem with the low e coating and argon insulating gas, provides added
protection against air leakage, and blocks ultraviolet rays from damaging interiors.
Due to its density, Argon gas is better at insulating compared to plain air, which is
why energy-efficient windows utilize Argon Gas between the panes of glass. That
means in the winter unwelcomed cold is limited from entering your home while the
warmth of the furnace stays put and in the summer, the heat is limited from entering
your home while the conditioned air stays put. Regardless of the season, Low E &
Argon Gas windows ensure the climate is stable in your home.
Low E or low emissivity coating is a unique microscopic glaze that helps minimize the
amount of ultraviolet, infrared and visible light from penetrating the glass keeping
you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Available in soft and hard coats,
the soft coat low e is more effective than the hard coat option.
Another benefit of Low E & Argon Gas windows is the ability to control solar heat
gain. What this means to you is that the heat from the sun that tends to make a home
uncomfortable, especially in the hot summer months, will be greatly limited.
Of course, given the financial element of any home improvement project is always a
concern, you begin to wonder how much energy-efficient windows like these cost.
While the initial investment in Low E & Argon Gas windows is a little higher than the
regular single-pane variety, the amount you’ll save on your heating and cooling bills
over the course of their lifetime will more than make them worth your while. That’s
not considering the environmental benefit, either. Decreasing your energy
consumption will help reduce your carbon footprint
