New windows offer advanced glass features to improve energy efficiency. Here’s a look at some of the most common options:

• Double-paned windows feature two panes of glass with an air pocket between them.
• Triple-paned windows are three panes thick and have two pockets of air for heat to pass through.
• Argon or krypton gas in-fill slows heat transfer even more.
• Low-E glass coatings reflect heat rather than absorbing it through the glass.
• Warm-edge spacers reduce heat transfer around the perimeter of the window.

By installing windows with high-efficiency glass, you could noticeably decrease your energy bills and eliminate drafts for good, making your home more comfortable in every season.

You have four primary window frame materials to choose from:

• Vinyl is the most popular because it’s affordable, efficient, and low-maintenance.
• Fiberglass is a little pricier, but it also offers efficient performance, durability, and low maintenance.
• Aluminum is best suited for commercial applications.
