From historic Creole cottages to new suburban homes, Covington LA has a wide variety of architectural styles. Acadian Windows offers a full selection of double insulated windows that will suit any style of home.
Louisiana’s heat takes a toll on your health, comfort, and electricity bills. Acadian’s energy efficient windows can reduce your utility costs and improve your comfort.
Impact-Resistant Windows
If you live in an area prone to severe weather conditions such as hurricanes and severe thunderstorms, it’s important to protect your home. This can be done by installing impact windows. Impact windows are specially designed and tested to withstand wind-borne debris, hail, and other harsh environmental elements.
They’re made of multiple layers of glass bound together with a plastic-like film. This allows the windows to withstand an object thrown at them during a storm without shattering.
Besides protection from high winds and flying debris, impact windows also offer increased security measures against burglars and vandals. They are able to withstand forced entry and do not allow criminals to easily fragment them to gain access to your house.
Other benefits of impact windows include a reduction in energy bills due to their superior insulation capabilities compared to traditional single pane windows. They also help reduce UV rays that can cause carpets, wood, and other materials in your home to fade or discolor over time.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Energy-efficient windows can significantly reduce your energy bills. They trap heat and air to lower your heating and cooling costs. Additionally, they reduce UV rays that can fade wood floors, drapes, and furniture.
A window’s energy efficiency is measured by its U-factor, which indicates how much it loses or gains heat. The lower the U-factor, the more efficient a window is. There are several ways to make your windows more energy efficient, including low-E coatings and argon gas insulation.
The best choice for your home depends on your climate and the type of windows you’re replacing. For example, upgrading single-pane windows to Energy Star-certified double-pane windows can save $101-$583 per year and reduce emissions by 246-2,205 lb of CO2 annually. You can also qualify for a federal tax credit if you install qualifying windows. The window company you choose should offer a wide range of options and provide expert installation and customer service. They should also offer financing options for Covington LA homeowners.
HERO Glass
HERO glass is an innovative new laminated window pane that adds a layer of strength to your home’s windows. This layer increases the STC, or Sound Transmission Class, of your window, making them a stronger barrier against outside noise, debris, harmful UV rays, and forced entry.
Energy-efficient windows by Acadian feature Low E coatings that help to reflect the Louisiana sun’s heat back into your house and keep the cool air in during the summer. This energy efficiency also helps to decrease your electricity bill throughout the year.
Single-hung windows are the classic choice of many homeowners, featuring two sashes that tilt inward for cleaning and slide up and down for ventilation. They are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles, including bays and bows to help add dimension and elegance to any room. Double-hung windows can also be joined together in pairs (mulled) to create an attractive, symmetrical look in larger spaces.
Custom Windows
Adding new custom windows to your home is a great way to make your home unique. They can also increase your resale value if you decide to sell in the future. Buyers will be impressed by your custom window selection and the energy-efficiency and cost-saving benefits they provide.
Store-bought windows may range in their energy-efficient properties, but they are not customized to your specific needs like a custom window is. In order to improve your home’s efficiency, custom windows are made to fit your window opening precisely. This allows the window to better insulate your home, reducing your heating and cooling costs.
Custom windows come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and styles. They can be designed with arches, curves, and grille options to add architectural detail to your home. They can also be installed in a full-frame installation or a retrofit installation. Retrofit installations use your existing frame and can be less expensive, but they are not recommended for older homes due to the risk of structural damage.
