Read in our material how to determine if the product you choose is energy saving.
How to Know if a Window or Door Is Energy Efficient?
Modern energy-saving windows and doors must meet the ENERGY STAR standard. The energy saving criteria are based on the characteristics of the door design, the number of windows and the level of glazing.
- Vinyl products provide excellent thermal insulation. Inside the sections can be hollow or filled with foam.
- Steel does not require special care. Thermal breaks are included in the design of such frames to exclude heat loss.
- Wooden frames are often lined with vinyl or aluminium to reduce maintenance costs.
We also recommend that you pay attention to the NFRC rating:
- The U-factor indicates the insulation capability. The lower this factor, the better such designs preserve heat.
- SHGC - By this index you can learn how much heat from the sun can pass through window structures or through a door window. The lower the figure, the less heat will enter the dwelling.
