WINDOWS: Are ENERGY STAR Windows right for your remodel?

While every home and every remodel is different, we believe the answer for everyone is probably YES!

ENERGY STAR labeled windows meet a stringent energy efficiency specification set by the Department of Energy and have been tested and certified by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC).  NFRC is an independent, third-party certification agency that assigns specific energy efficiency measures such as U-factor and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient to the complete window system, not simply the glass.

ENERGY STAR qualified windows may have two or more panes of glass, warm-edge spacers between the window panes, improved framing materials, and Low-E coating(s) which are microscopically thin coatings that helps keep heat inside during the winter and outside during the summer.  Look for ENERGY STAR windows from the manufacturer you are considering.
