Many of our clients have questions about wood windows versus other window material types. There are pros and cons to any material you choose, so let’s start with a brief background of some of the pluses and minuses for each.

Energy Efficient Glass Options

The harsh summer is just around the corner. It is time to make sure that your home stays comfortable throughout the season. One way of ensuring that is to regulate the temperature inside your home properly. True, you can simply flick the switch of your air conditioner, but that will add a considerable amount to your electricity bills. Maybe it’s time to opt for an alternative option. How about installing some energy efficient glass windows and doors? Energy efficient glass windows and doors are essentially made of two layers of glass with a little gap between them. This gap, filled with air, acts as a bad conductor for heat. Thus when the layer of glass facing outside gets heated through exposure to sunlight, the inner layer facing the insides of the house stays cool. Thus you can run the AC with a higher temperature setting, thereby saving a considerable amount on electricity bills.
