How New Windows Can Help You Create a Greener Home

Installing new, energy-efficient windows can add value to your property and help you create a greener home. Here’s how.

Reduced Need for Artificial Lighting

Replacement windows that allow for more natural light into your home reduce your dependence on artificial light. During the daytime, you can rely solely or mostly on natural light to brighten your spaces. This can contribute to lower utility costs every month.

Low-E Coatings

These window coatings are designed to prevent heat loss in the winter and reduce the heat permeating your home in the summer. The right low-emissivity (Low-E) coating varies from climate to climate, so it’s best to consult with your window contractor regarding this matter. By choosing the appropriate coating for your windows, you can improve your home’s overall energy efficiency.

Low-Conductivity Frames

Fiberglass, wood and vinyl are among the top choices for low-conductivity window frames. However, if you need your window to have superior thermal insulating properties, your best choice would be Fibrex® window frames.

Fibrex is an Andersen®-exclusive composite material that combines the best qualities of wood and vinyl. Paired with Andersen High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass, Fibrex can help keep your home warm in the winter and cooler in the summer. This means less work for your HVAC system as well as improved indoor comfort and more energy savings for you.
