Scott County Replacement Windows

The best insulators for your replacement windows are wood, vinyl, fiberglass and foam.  Metals, such as aluminum, are the worst insulators.  Double-paned windows have a space between the two panes of glass. This space provides insulation by allowing air in the space to absorb some of the heat and some of the cooler air to create a mid-range temperature inside the window.  If the space between the two panes is filled with a gas, it becomes even more effective in insulating your home.  Argon gas in the space between the panes will make your windows twice as effective in insulating your home as simple single-paned windows.  If the gas used is Krypton, the effect of the insulating space between panes is 50% more effective than the Argon. 

The next alternative is to choose triple-paned windows.  This creates two neutralizing spaces in the window, and better insulates your home.  With Argon gas in both of the spaces between panes, the triple-paned window will be 50% more effective than the double-paned window filled with Argon.  A triple-paned window with Krypton gas in both spaces between panes will be 2.5 times more effective in insulating the home than a double-paned window filled with Argon.  The amount of space allowed between the panes is also a factor in the conductivity of the windows.

These energy-efficient windows are easy to identify. They all carry the “EnergyStar” logo, indicating that they meet federal guidelines for efficiency.  Talk with your window dealer about the amount of insulation you need in various parts of your home, and you can choose the right window for your Scott County home.
