With our first snowfall of the year, we're reminded that Atlanta can still get chilly. Though we don't experience the harsh January weather like our neighbors to the north, the ice and snow that collected over the weekend is enough to make you wonder if your home is equipped to keep you warm.
What makes a window warm? Keeping heat inside your home. A lot of homeowners attribute the cold air that is coming into the home as the main reason their windows are cold. While it is true that cold air does infiltrate drafty single paned windows, heat loss is the biggest reason your home is so cold.
Your heaters are working overtime in the winter (especially those colder days we've had this week) to keep the home at a comfortable 70 degrees or higher. However if your window are not properly insulated, all that heat that your units are producing go literally right out the window!
The home you see in the picture recently had Soft Lite Imperial LS vinyl double hung replacement windows installed. They're double paned, use the best spacer system available (Super Spacer), and have a great thermal rating (.29 U-Value for those interested). Just so you know the lower the U-Value the better and few double paned, low-e, argon windows if any exceed Soft Lite's Imperial LS rating.
We know this family is now experiencing better warmth in their home now because of their new replacement windows. But we also know they'll be cooler in the summer thanks to the way their replacement windows insulate heat. It's a year round investment and one that reduces harmful emissions, saves energy, and gives homes increased comfort and beauty.
