Energy efficiency Energy efficient windows let natural light to enter and block unwanted heat, UV and infrared rays. This lets homeowners significantly reduce their heating and cooling expenses while increasing the value of their home. The most windows that are energy efficient come with an R-value that is high, a low U-factor and a lower solar heat gain coefficient. The higher these ratings are, the more efficient a window's insulation is. The frame's material can influence energy efficiency. Vinyl frames are more prone to leak air than wooden frames due to the fact that they expand and contract more. Fiberglass and clad-wood frames provide superior insulation, with a minimum of expansion and contraction. Multiple-paned windows are more energy efficient than single-paned windows. The reason is due to dead air trapped between two panes. The inert gases such as Krypton and argon that are that are found in these triple- and double-pane windows act as an additional layer of insulation, slowing the flow of cold and hot, stopping radiant transfer and reducing energy bills. A special coating is also applied to windows that are energy efficient. The coating stops the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun from entering the home. This helps protect furniture, carpets and rugs from becoming faded or becoming damaged. These benefits sound wonderful but the real savings are in the reduction of cooling and heating costs. This can pay for windows within 2-10 years. This is why it's crucial to consult with a professional such as a Marvin window expert when selecting new windows.
