Winter’s on its way—is your inefficient doors and windows letting out too much heat and costing you money? Consider contacting a Nashville glass company and looking into glass door replacement or a replacement glass window. New, insulated glass doors or windows can make a big difference in your heating bill's bottom line. Here's a brief guide to replacements:
Check with your Nashville glass company for manufacturer’s specifications on U-factor and SHGC ratings. The replacement glass window or glass door replacement should have low ratings for each of these. The U-factor measure’s passage of heat through glass—with lower ratings being more energy efficient. Lower SHGC ratings mean your replacement glass is reducing solar gain, which in turn means less heat from absorbed sunlight.
Insulated glass is another specification you want to consider. Double- or triple-pane insulated glass will reduce energy costs and give you a more comfortable living environment. Make sure you ask the company doing your glass door replacement or replacement glass window about your specific product. The insulating efficiency of an insulated glass window is determined by the space between the windows and is normally given as the window's R-value. The higher the R-value, the more efficient your window or door! Using Argon gas in an insulated window typically raises the R-value. The type of glass itself can also raise the R-value, and if the glass is coated, it can raise the R-value even more.
