Energy-efficient windows are designed and built to prevent heated or cooled air from escaping your home, helping you save money on energy costs. They also help keep your home at a consistent temperature year-round.
Look for ENERGY STAR labeling on your window frames. It’s a government-sanctioned symbol of energy efficiency, credibility, and cost-savings for the consumer.
Low-maintenance
Whether you’re renovating an old southern home or building new construction, you want to ensure that your windows are made with the latest technology. Energy-efficient windows offer better insulation, so you can lower your energy usage and save money each month.
JELD-WEN’s earthwise windows are designed for your local climate, which makes them highly energy efficient. ENERGY STAR certified, they reduce drafts and hot/cold air loss to help you save money and lower your carbon footprint.
They also protect your house during storms, as they stop debris from flying in and provide soundproofing. Our impact-resistant windows combine a strong aluminum frame with shatterproof glass, so they’ll protect you and your family from flying debris during a storm. They’re low-maintenance, as well — vinyl frames won’t crack or chip and require little maintenance. We’ll even apply a low-E coating to your glass for improved insulation. Whether you choose double-hung windows that open by sliding each sash toward the center or casement and awning windows that hinge and open outward, you’ll be able to enjoy your beautiful new windows for years to come.
Energy-efficient
The quality windows and doors installed by window companies in Covington LA not only enhance your home’s aesthetic appeal, but also help reduce your energy waste and utility bills. This is because new windows and doors provide more insulation, which means you can use less energy to heat and cool your home.
To choose the most energy-efficient windows, look for those with the ENERGY STAR label. These are independently tested and verified to meet the strict energy efficiency standards set by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC). The NFRC ratings are on the windows’ Energy Performance Label, which you can view to compare products.
The Acadian Windows collection of insulated windows is designed to maximize energy savings. The Low-E glass blocks most UV rays and unwanted temperatures from entering your home, while the Intercept warm-edge spacer reduces condensation and edge-to-glass temperatures to save you 5% in annual energy costs. Plus, the vinyl frame delivers thermal insulation to keep your home comfortable all year round.
Impact-resistant
Unlike your standard windows, which are susceptible to high winds and shatter from debris, impact-resistant windows have a laminate interlayer set between two glass panes. These windows are not only safe during a storm but also reduce noise and energy bills. You can tell if you have this type of window by checking its corners, which are marked with a label.
If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, consider choosing ENERGY STAR qualified windows. These windows use Low-E coatings and argon gas insulation, which make them more efficient than single-pane windows. In addition, these windows help you save money on your energy bills and increase the value of your home. You can even get a tax credit for your new energy-efficient windows. However, you should always work with a professional to install your new windows. This will ensure that the installation is done properly. It will also help you avoid costly mistakes in the future.
UV-resistant
The Louisiana heat is no joke and can take a toll on your health, comfort level and energy bills. Acadian Windows uses the latest window technology to keep your home cool and protected.
Our HERO glass can improve your windows protection against sound, debris, harmful UV rays and forced entry. This feature is available on our uPVC vinyl window lines and adds to their already excellent performance ratings.
Low-E, or low emissivity glass, is made of microscopically thin metallic coatings that filter light entering your home. It allows desirable sunlight while deflecting harmful rays that can damage fabrics, bleach things left outside, cause sunburns and skin cancer and increase indoor glare.
JELD-WEN windows with Low-E glass are up to 56% more energy-efficient in summer and 47% more efficient in winter when compared to standard double pane glass. These windows are double insulated and come with a lifetime warranty so you can rest assured that you’re getting the best product possible.
