Energy Savings

With double-pane windows, we’re talking about two pieces of glass with vacuum-sealed inert gas between the panes. These new windows limit the transfer of cold or hot air into the home and are much sturdier than its single-pane counterpart. In the summer, when the AC is on, the warm air stays out and the cool air is kept in with better weather strips and framing.
