Installing Energy Efficient Windows Video

Christopher Burk of Simonton Windows shows Bob the Pro-Finish new-construction windows that are being installed in the Mashpee homes. These extruded-vinyl windows are construction ready with a nail fin for easy installation. These energy-efficient windows are made of vinyl and double-pane low-e glass to reduce conductivity and maintain stable indoor temperatures. Low-emissivity glass, or low-e, has a film applied to the inside face of the outer pane of glass. It is designed to deflect heat back to its source, keeping homes warmer in the cold months and cooler in the warm months. In addition, these windows are argon-filled, which makes them even less susceptible to heat and cold transfer. These tilt-in windows are easy to install, easy to maintain, and simple to clean. They have received the Energy Star rating for their efficiency and even come in a high-impact version that is designed for storm-prone areas.
