We have been blessed with a very mild winter this year in Houston, but don’t let the unseasonably warm temperatures fool you—your home needs to be insulated against cold temperatures in the winter just like it needs to stay cool during the sweltering summer months.
Replacing drafty windows and doors makes your home more comfortable, and more energy efficient. Start by testing your windows and doors for drafts using tactile, visual, and audible inspection techniques. We invite you to stop into the Renaissance Windows and Doors showroom to learn more about how the latest materials and engineering result in the most energy efficient, high-quality, low-maintenance windows and doors on the market.
For example, choosing windows with the right glass can make a big difference in your home’s energy efficiency. Today’s window glass comes with special glazing treatments which can address issues like energy efficiency, sun protection, security and visibility, hurricane protection, maintenance, and even noise control. Hurd is a leader in the area of glazing and glass technology, and their windows and doors come with many options to help you address your home’s needs. Their ComfortGlaze technology blocks UV rays while maintaining visible light, which reduces the wear and tear on your furnishings and protects you from the damaging rays of the sun. As those of us on the Gulf Coast know, hurricane protection is also important and Hurd offers increased protection against damaging high winds and heavy rains.
Once you have chosen the right product, you need to ensure the proper installation is followed so that you get the most of out your investment. At Renaissance Windows and Doors we use our own installation team—never contract labor—who follow a tested and proven installation checklist to ensure peak performance of your new windows and doors. Our installers work safely, following all mandated safety precautions, and are highly trained and certified; all of our installers are AAMA-certified master installers, Renovator-certified for handling lead paint, and they are up-to-date on all industry best practices for window and door installation.
Keeping the cold out in winter and the cool air inside in summer is what we do, all while making your home even more beautiful with new doors and windows. Stop in and see us today to learn more about how your home can be more energy efficient with replacement windows and doors.
