Acadian Windows offers a wide range of windows, including impact-resistant options and affordable financing. Its energy-efficient windows have a Low E coating and argon gas insulation to protect you from the harsh Louisiana weather.
Impact-resistant windows
In areas prone to hurricanes or severe storms, impact-resistant windows are often required by local building codes. They feature a strong aluminum frame and shatterproof glass. The glass consists of two sheets with an inner layer that resists penetration. The outer layer can be clad with aluminum, pultruded fiberglass or wood wrapped in aluminum, which adds stability to the window and reduces energy loss.
This double-layered and insulated glass also provides other benefits, including protection from sun fading and ultraviolet light. It blocks the glare that causes discoloration of fabrics, carpeting and artwork. And impact windows help deter intruders by making it hard for them to break in through a window. For homeowners who don’t want to spend the time and money hammering plywood over their windows before every hurricane season, impact-resistant windows provide permanent protection. They can even save homeowners money on their insurance premiums. These windows can also deter burglars and reduce noise pollution in homes.
Energy-efficient windows
Energy-efficient windows are a great way to save money on energy costs. They insulate homes, reduce heating and cooling consumption, and protect against harmful UV rays. Plus, homeowners who install windows that meet ENERGY STAR Most Efficient requirements can receive a federal tax credit.
These windows come with multiple panes that are separated by window spacers made of foam, which prevent heat transfer between the interior and exterior. Additionally, the spacers are filled with nonreactive gases such as argon or krypton, which further enhances insulation.
Besides providing high-energy efficiency, these windows also have soundproofing capabilities, which is especially helpful if you live in a busy area. They also require less maintenance, as they reduce condensation and mold buildup. In addition, they look great and can improve the value of your home. Moreover, the ENERGY STAR label is recognized by many mortgage lenders. This means that you can get a better loan deal. This is important because it can make a significant difference in your monthly payments.

Sliding glass doors
Adding sliding doors to your home can offer some amazing benefits. These doors allow you to take full advantage of your property’s views and bring the outdoors into your living space – if you like that kind of thing, of course.
They can help you cut down on your electricity bills by increasing the amount of natural light that enters your house. This can reduce your dependence on artificial lighting, and it also makes your home more pleasant to be in.
Sliding glass doors also let you keep an eye on children and pets while they’re outside playing, so you can quickly spot them if they’re in danger. Plus, they’re easier to open and close than swinging doors, which is great if you have kids or elderly family members with mobility issues. Lastly, they’re easy to decorate with window treatments and other elements to make them more attractive. Thompson Creek offers a variety of stylish window grids for sliding door windows and doors.
