Advantages of Our New Construction Windows for Your Home
Energy efficiency is a big consideration for new homeowners and home builders when it comes to finding new construction windows. The easiest way to spot an energy-efficient window is by looking for an ENERGY STAR® certification—a third-party rating designed to assist consumers in the recognition of energy-efficient products and promote their environmental and economic benefits. By upgrading their AMI Builder Series New Construction Windows to our ClimaTech Insulated Glass Package, homeowners can significantly cut their energy costs with a product that has been designed to meet or exceed the demanding specifications of the ENERGY STAR® program. This energy-efficient window package features:
- Low-E glass with argon gas fills for added insulation
- 3/4″ insulated glass units for improved thermal efficiency
- An interlocked meeting rail for reduced air infiltration and added security
- A high-performance warm-edge spacer system to stop heat conduction
- A multi-chambered design for enhanced energy efficiency and reduced noise infiltration
Since 80% of a window is glass, real heating and cooling savings come from improved glass performance. By incorporating high-performance PPG Low-E Glass with argon gas and the PPG Intercept™ Warm Edge Spacer System, our ClimaTech Insulated Glass Package improves the efficiency of windows by decreasing heat transfer.
