Energy Efficient Windows in Denver, CO
The
cost of heating and cooling our homes in Denver, CO is rising on a
regular basis, and there is no relief in the foreseeable future. With
this in mind, homeowners are continuously looking for ways to optimize
the energy efficiency of their homes. One of the long-lasting ways to do
that is to install new windows, such as
vinyl
replacement windows, that help maximize the efficiency of a home’s

Replacing the windows in your home sounds costly, but one of the
advantages of vinyl replacement windows is their relatively low cost. In
fact, they are one of the least expensive choices when it comes to

short seasons. With a moderate to high R-value, (a measure of resistance
to heat flow) vinyl replacement windows are so cost-effective that they
can save the average homeowner anywhere from hundreds to thousands of
dollars in heating and cooling costs over an extended period of time.
But how do you know that it's time to replace your windows?
Wooden frames and caulking around older-style glass windows can
deteriorate over time, reducing their ability to keep out air and
moisture. Not only that, but the glass in the windows will eventually
become scratched or marred, diminishing the overall look of your home.

out the windows. Vinyl replacement windows come with their own
damage-resistant frames and the panes themselves are 100% scratch-free;

they are first installed, plus their energy efficiency will never
diminish. The only drawback to vinyl replacement windows is that the
