In deciding what type of home replacement windows to install, you need to consider not only how visually pleasing your new additions might look but also how well they will stand up to the usual weather conditions where you reside. Here are some tips from Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City on what to look for in windows for cold, coastal, or warm climate homes.
The priority in choosing windows for cold climate homes is getting units that will help keep as much heat indoors as possible. Low-E4® glass windows are one such option as they are made to reflect heat during the summer months and keep heat in during the winter.
Homes in warm climates will benefit most from windows that block heat from entering. If you need a casement window replacement, for instance, Renewal by Andersen of Rapid City can provide you with SmartSun™ glass windows which are designed to block 95% of the sun’s UV rays from penetrating your home.
Beyond protection from heat or cold, coastal homes need windows that are fitted with impact-resistant glass. For this, you can try Low-E4® Impact-Resistant glass or Low-E4® SmartSun™ Impact-Resistant glass options which were created with the same benefits as Low-E4® glass and Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass but with added strength for coastal weather conditions.
