Energy efficiency Energy efficient windows let natural light to enter while preventing unwanted heat, UV and infrared radiation. This allows homeowners to significantly reduce their cooling and heating costs and increase the value of their home. The best energy-efficient windows have a low U-factor with an impressive R value and a low solar gain coefficient. The higher these ratings are, the more efficient a window's insulation is. The frame material can also impact energy efficiency. Wood frames expand and contract more than vinyl, which can cause air leakage, while fiberglass and clad-wood frames offer superior insulation with less expansion and contraction. Multiple-paned windows have better insulation than single-paned windows. This is because they feature dead air trapped in between two glass panes. Inert gases such as Krypton and argon are used in double- and triple pane windows as an extra layer of insulation. They slow the flow of cold and heat and stop radiant transfer and help reduce energy bills. A special coating is also applied to windows that are energy efficient. The coating stops the harmful ultraviolet sunlight rays from entering your home. This prevents furniture, carpets, and rugs from fading.
