However, energy efficiency has become a major concern for home owners looking to replace existing windows in today's energy conscious environment.
Replacement windows and energy efficiency
Typically, older windows are constructed of single pane glass set in aluminum frames. Unfortunately, this construction produces a window which is the lease energy efficient among the various types of replacement windows available today. In fact, this single pane/aluminum construction loose roughly 90 - 95% of the heat in your home during winter and cool air from your home in the summer. With quality dual pane replacement windows by American Vision Windows, you can expect to see that rate cut down to 40% on average. Triple pane replacement windows can cut the energy loss down to between 10 - 15%.

Heat trying to enter your house is reflected away from the window area. Consequently, cool air is kept inside your home by being reflected back into your interior by the Low-E on the inside of the windows.
