Choosing energy-efficient vinyl windows helps save money and reduces your carbon footprint. Low-emissivity glass reflects heat during Eagle Mountain’s hot summers, and double or triple-pane windows filled with inert gas like argon offer even more insulation.
The retrofit installation method fits new windows into existing frames, and is less expensive than full-frame replacement. However, it may not provide as much energy efficiency improvement.
Double hung
Double hung vinyl windows have two operating sashes, providing easy ventilation and a practical option for many homes. They also offer a wide range of sizes and colors. They are virtually maintenance-free, resisting warping, scratching, fading and stains.
Energy-efficient options are important for Eagle Mountain homes, where temperatures can vary widely. Look for windows with Low-E glass, which reflects the sun’s heat, and Argon gas, which reduces thermal transfer and helps to lower energy bills. You can also find windows that are Energy Star certified.
Casement
Vinyl windows provide an affordable way to improve your home’s appearance and lower energy costs. They are available in a variety of styles and colors and can be installed using a new-construction or retrofit installation method.
Energy-efficient features include double-pane glass and argon gas fills. These help reduce heat transfer and keep homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter. They can also help reduce cooling and heating bills. Low-E glass reflects the sun’s rays and reduces UV ray penetration, helping to prevent interior damage.
Awning
The awning window opens outward, allowing for ventilation in hard-to-reach areas. It’s ideal for traditional and modern homes, and it also adds curb appeal to your property.
Clad-wood awning windows have a wood interior with a weather-resistant exterior, reducing maintenance needs. They’re an affordable choice for homeowners who want to boost energy efficiency and enhance home security.
Low-E glass reflects heat instead of absorbing it, keeping your house cool in Eagle Mountain summers and warm in winter. Choose windows with argon gas fills for even more energy-saving benefits.
Picture
Frame beautiful vistas and fill your home with natural light with picture vinyl windows. These non-operable windows can help reduce energy costs by maximizing natural sunlight while keeping your indoor air temperature comfortable throughout the seasons.
Casement vinyl windows open with hinges, allowing for ventilation in hard-to-reach spots. Their tight construction minimizes heat transfer, helping to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This durable window option also resists fading and requires minimal maintenance.
Bay and bow
Unlike traditional double-hung windows, which open by sliding up and down, casement vinyl windows tilt inward with the turn of a handle. They are easy to clean and provide excellent ventilation.
Bow windows create the illusion of a curved wall with a row of four or more windows that are mulled together at slight angles. JELD-WEN’s Siteline clad wood bow windows are made with beauty and resilience in mind and come with multiple options for color, finish, and glass.
Sliding
Vinyl windows require little maintenance, unlike wood or metal windows. They also resist problems like rot and corrosion. These qualities make them a practical choice for Eagle Mountain homeowners with a busy lifestyle.
Double- and triple-pane windows provide better insulation than single-pane models, which can help your home stay cool in summer and warm in winter. They also reduce energy costs by minimizing heat transfer. Look for windows with low-emissivity glass and argon gas, which are more effective at keeping the sun out in Eagle Mountain’s harsh climate.
Garden
Garden vinyl windows protrude from your home at countertop level, allowing you to grow herbs and flowers inside while bringing natural light into kitchens. They’re also a good choice for hard-to-reach spaces like above sinks.
Energy-efficient options like Low-E glass reduce energy costs by reflecting the sun’s rays in hot Eagle Mountain summers and insulating homes in winter. Argon gas-filled designs further enhance energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer.
For less expensive upgrades, choose a retrofit installation method to fit your new window into the existing frame without removing any exterior trim. Or opt for a new construction installation to significantly boost energy efficiency and aesthetics.
Tilt-turn
Tilt-turn windows are a popular choice for homeowners who want to maximize airflow while maintaining security and safety. They can be opened by opening the top or bottom sash and by tilting them open vertically, which makes them easy to clean and maintain.
They may not align with a specific architectural style, which could limit their appeal for some homeowners. They also tend to be pricier than other window options due to their advanced engineering and hardware.
Replacement windows are a great way to enhance your home’s appearance and increase its resale value. However, you should do your research before deciding on the best brand for your needs.
