Replacement Windows: One Step Closer To Going Green

Everyone is talking about the environment today and what we can do to help it. Every little bit helps and if you’re wanting to find ways to ‘go green,’ there are plenty of things you can do. You could get a car that gets good gas mileage, or even a hybrid. You can install solar panels to power some of your home. And you can get replacement windows in Las Vegas, NV. When you get new windows, you’re one step closer to being green. Your carbon footprint will be smaller and you’re doing your part. Here’s how that works.

Older windows were made with technology from long ago. Technology, as you well know, has come a long way in recent years. Even standard replacement windows are going to be head and shoulders above older windows. But because of the options for upgrades, you can do a lot more than standard and get even better energy efficiency.

Some of the upgrades over old windows come standard with replacement windows, like double pane glass. You can also upgrade further to triple pane glass for even more insulation and efficiency. The insulation comes not only from the extra pane of glass, but also from the spaces between the glass.

Low-E coatings are game changers on windows in Nevada. The sun is intense in this region of the country and while you want natural light in your home, you probably often block it out because it brings in too much heat. With these invisible, thin, metallic coatings, you can let in the light and the heat and UV rays are blocked out. That saves energy on your cooling bills as well.

And when you have double pane glass, there’s usually air between the panes, but you can upgrade that to inert gas fillings to get more insulation. When you have triple pane glass, there are two spaces that can give your home an even bigger space between interior and exterior elements.

When you get new windows, you can upgrade whatever features you can afford and lessen your impact on the environment even further. Upgrades cost more, sure, but you save more on your energy bills and you are taking steps in the right direction to making your home as green and environmentally friendly as possible.
