People often think about replacing windows in the winter to help keep heat indoors, but Simonton energy efficient windows actually help year-round. A better seal keeps your air conditioning inside. Better glass lets you leave the curtains open with sunlight without worrying about heating up the home over the course of the day.
Replace your windows this summer to stop the leaks that make your air conditioner run nonstop. While you’re at it, find an ENERGY STAR rated product with high-quality materials that make your home even more comfortable. Here’s how Simonton energy efficient windows can help.
Window Frame Materials
Aluminum windows are sturdy and cheap, but metal conducts heat. That means your HVAC system is running just to send energy outside. Wood windows do a much better job but are subject to fading and warping.
Simonton products are made with insulated vinyl frames that resist heat transfer—so the AC you use will actually keep you cool. You get a woodgrain finish with high-tech energy efficiency hidden inside.
Insulated Glass — Not Just Double Pane
Dual pane windows slow down heating and cooling loss. Insulated glass units (IGUs) take it a step further. Gas-filled double pane windows use inert gases like krypton and argon to block air movement and regulate the indoor temperature.
IGUs are a standard feature on Simonton energy efficient windows, including the affordable and versatile Simonton Verona windows.
Low E Coating to Block Summer Sun
Don’t ruin your summer by sitting inside with blackout curtains drawn and lighting that heats up the home. Simonton ProSolar® Low E Glass uses an invisible metallic coating to block the harmful UV spectrum.
The result? A low solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) that allows you to enjoy natural daylight without baking in the sun. Low E coatings even prevent faded upholstery and rugs.
Save Money without Compromising on Comfort
Most tricks to lower bills in the summer involve a tradeoff of comfort. With Simonton energy efficient windows, you can lower your utilities without changing your habits.
