Utah's #1 Replacement

High-performance energy-efficient windows can yield significant savings on electricity bills, especially in homes in extremely cold or hot climates. When windows are well-designed, well-built, and properly installed, they can reduce your energy waste consumption, significantly saving on electric bills. You can also get a energy efficient home upgrade tax credit to recoup money spent.

We do not sell windows to customers without professional installation. For energy-efficient windows to perform as designed, proper installation is necessary. Professional installers will identify and address all issues in and around the window that can impact efficiency. To make installation stress-free for homeowners, Advanced Window Products includes professional installation with the purchase of our energy-efficient replacement windows. Our factory-trained installers will make sure your new windows are fitted and balanced for ideal functioning.

The National Fenestration Research Council (NFRC) administers testing for the energy efficiency of windows. The NFRC window labeling informs consumers that a window has been extensively tested and that it has been confirmed to perform at a high level of energy efficiency.

Argon or Krypton gas is used to fill the space between dual glass panes in energy-efficient windows. These gasses are denser than air, so they’re effective in slowing down the escape of thermal heat across the space between the panes. This slowing of the heat transfer from the interior glass pane to the exterior side makes the gas-filled windows a highly effective barrier against heat loss by conduction.
 
When gas-filled windows are performing as designed, you will find that the interior side of the window feels only slightly cool when you touch the glass on a freezing day.

To facilitate a smooth process to install your new windows safely and quickly, here are some helpful preparations you can make:

• Remove blinds, curtains, rods, or other window treatments.
• Move furniture, wall decor, and other items away from the window and out of the path that installers will be using to carry in each window, tools, and materials.
• Temporarily disable security alarm sensors.
• Installation work on the exterior side, cut back tall brush, remove toys and yard furniture, etc., to make a path for workers.
• Secure children and pets in areas away from the workspace and traffic path to avoid safety risks to them and the window installers.

Low-E refers to “Low Emittance.” “Emittance” refers to energy that is radiated by the surface of the glass, which makes the window more energy efficient. Low-E glass is one of today’s most advanced and popular options for energy-efficient windows. There are various forms of Low-E technology used by window manufacturers to boost energy efficiency.

The U-Factor of a window is the rate at which heat transfers through it from one side of the window to the other. A low U-Value indicates that the window is energy-efficient. Windows must measure 0.30 or less in U-Value in order for a homeowner to be eligible for federal tax credits for investment in home improvement for energy efficiency.

Energy-efficient vinyl windows offer the best overall value for the investment, including energy cost savings, increased property resale value, and tax credits. They can also significantly increase your family’s comfort and enjoyment of your home.

Both bay and bow windows are designed to admit a lot of light into an interior area, and both add extra square feet of living space to a home. They both also provide a beautiful exterior and interior design element that upgrades curb appeal and the quality of life for occupants of the house. Here are the differences between a bay and bow windows
 
Bay Window: Bay windows have three windows — a picture window and two side windows (that are typically smaller) bordering it on the sides. The three windows are positioned at angles to each other.
 
Bow Window: Bow windows usually have 4 or 5 windows positioned to create a single expansive curved structure.
 

Installation quality makes all the difference in the performance of energy-efficient windows. Choose an experienced provider who can handle all aspects of the job. This will help ensure that your new high-performance replacement windows will improve your comfort in your home and reduce your energy bills as they’re designed to do. It will also help you avoid structural damage that can happen when inexperienced installers do not use the best approach to adapt raw openings to window specs.
 
Choose a provider that is well established, who has proven stability and consistency in excellent products and service. Finally, choose a provider that offers an excellent warranty and will be there for you when needed to correct any problems that may arise in the coming years.
