Explore the best energy-efficient window options to lower your energy costs and enhance your home’s comfort.

Investing in energy efficiency upgrades for your home isn’t just a smart decision; it's also an effective way to reduce energy costs over time. When it comes to windows, there are several upgrade options that can significantly improve your home’s thermal performance, keeping your spaces comfortable year-round while saving you money. At Encore Home Improvements, we offer a range of glass solutions and technologies that ensure your home is well-insulated and energy-efficient.

Low-E Glass Options for Energy Efficiency

Solar Gain Low E Glass

One of our standard options is Solar Gain Low E Glass, which boasts a high thermal retention rate, essential for keeping your home warm in the winter. This low emissivity (Low E) glass performs exceptionally well in thermal insulation, minimizing heat loss. Solar Gain is one of the top-performing low-e glasses on the market, optimizing window energy efficiency through double and triple glazing.

If you live in a colder climate, Solar Gain is an excellent choice as it traps solar heat inside your home, providing free and natural heating during the colder months.

Solar Shield Low E Glass

On the other hand, if cooling costs during the summer are a bigger concern, Solar Shield Low E Glass might be the best option. This glass is engineered to control solar heat gain, blocking up to 66% of total solar energy while allowing 70% of visible light to pass through. With a lower Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), Solar Shield reduces the impact of solar heat, making your air conditioning more efficient and reducing discomfort caused by excess heat.

E-Clean Glass – Less Cleaning, Better Performance

E-Clean Glass combines the benefits of Solar Shield with a revolutionary coating that keeps your glass cleaner for longer. This protective coating uses the forces of nature to keep dirt at bay, ensuring not only cleaner windows but also clearer, better-looking glass. The result is less cleaning and a more polished, attractive look for your home.

Argon and Krypton Gas – Increasing Insulation

Filling the space between the panes of your windows with argon gas is one of the most effective ways to reduce energy loss. Argon is an odorless, non-toxic gas that moves more slowly than air, preventing heat from escaping through the window. For even better performance, krypton gas can be used in place of argon. Krypton is denser, providing even more insulation and reducing energy loss further.

Triple Glazing – Superior Insulation

If you're looking for the best possible insulation, triple glazing is the premium choice. With an insulation value exceeding R8, this type of glass is perfect for homeowners looking to reduce their heating costs significantly while also being kind to the environment. Triple glazing also provides better soundproofing, ensuring a quieter, more comfortable living space.

Diamond Premium Glass – High-Quality Acoustic Insulation

If you’re seeking high-quality acoustic insulation, Diamond Premium Glass is the ideal solution. With thicknesses ranging from 33% to 100% greater than industry standards, this glass provides an excellent barrier against noise, ensuring that outside sounds stay where they belong. It’s the perfect choice for anyone who wants a quieter, more peaceful home environment.

Foam-Insulating Windows – Closing the Gap on Energy Costs

Foam-insulating windows offer an additional benefit to the already impressive thermal performance of warm-edge and gas-filled upgrades. The frame makes up about 15% of the window, and foam can reduce heat loss through the window frame by up to 10%, making your home even more energy-efficient.
