Replacing windows and doors is a major investment that pays off in variety of ways. Improving the home’s curb appeal is an effective way to increase property value. Energy efficient designs provide a more comfortable living environment and save on heating and cooling costs regardless of the season.
Energy Saving Components
Milgard products incorporate frame, glass and spacer designs that work together to deflect heat, reduce heat transfer, eliminate condensation and minimize noise. Double-pane windows provide additional insulation while Low-E coatings block infrared rays. This keeps the heat outside during the summer and inside during the winter, increasing the efficiency while extending the life of any heating and cooling system. Window coatings filter ultraviolet light to prevent damage to furnishings and floor coverings. Sound control windows block outdoor noise for a quieter interior environment. This option is ideal for home located near an airport or freeway.
Consumers can choose from a variety of frame materials. Each has its own unique characteristics making it suitable for different applications. A window expert can discuss the various options available with consumers to help them decide what is best for them.
Vinyl Frame Features
Vinyl frames are made of polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, and are suitable for all types of windows, including casement, bay, bow, awning, horizontal sliding, double- and single-hung designs. Custom sizes and shapes are available to match any architectural style. This material will not twist, swell or warp and requires minimal maintenance to retain its original appearance. Vinyl frames are available in a variety of colors to match any exterior or interior design and require no painting or staining.
Fiberglass Frame Features
Fiberglass frames offer the highest level of resistance to twisting and warping because they do no conduct thermal energy and will not expand or contract with extreme temperature changes. They are resistant to mold and easy to install. This material is stronger than vinyl and homeowners can have them painted any color to match the structure. Due to the long life expectancy, fiberglass is an environmentally friendly material option.
Aluminum Frame Features
Aluminum is stronger than vinyl but is slightly less energy efficient than fiberglass or vinyl because the metal readily conducts heat. This material offers a wider variety of configurations than other options. Homeowners enjoy maximum window views because the frame profile is thin and provides unobstructed sight lines.
Regardless of material choice, Milgard windows and doors offer superior performance for homeowners who want to save money on energy costs. Our expert installers have the experience and equipment necessary to install all products. Free estimates are available for consumers searching for energy efficient solutions.
