Almost every homeowner has a list of home improvements that seems to never end. More likely than not, replacing the home’s windows is included. Although, maybe not as high on the list as it should be. The reason for this is because replacing a home’s windows is not always something that is believed to be extremely beneficial or even something that will have any sort of lasting impact at all. But this cannot be any further from the truth. What many individuals do not know is that the benefits provided by properly installed energy efficient windows can help with both issues of appearance and finance. Many homeowners overlook the incredibly positive impact that energy efficient windows will have on the well being of not only their home but those in it as well.
Energy Cost & Savings:
Whether it is a summer, winter, spring, or fall, energy efficient windows provide savings year-round. Throughout warmer seasons when cooling is required, installing energy efficient windows will significantly reduce solar heat gain. In addition to this, they provide homeowners with clean and clear views of the nice weather outside. During the colder seasons, many problems can arise from non-energy efficient windows such as heat loss and air leaks. These then lead to issues including discomfort and condensation, which also decreases visibility.
Increased Visibility:
The amount of daylight and view provided by a window are two of its most important factors. Outdated windows that are not energy efficient are prone to condensation. Many homeowners do not think twice when they see condensation on the windows although it is indicative of windows that need upgrading. By improving your home’s windows to energy efficient windows, you can decrease the condensation buildup and optimize the home for daylight and visibility.
Decreased Fading:
Carpet, fabrics, paper, artwork, paints, and wood are organic materials that may fade upon exposure to sunlight. The type and intensity of transmitted radiation can be influenced by window selection. UV rays contained within sunlight are the most harmful due to their high levels of energy and ability to break chemical bonds. This breaking is what leads to fading and degradation within organic materials.

A project that we recently worked on was located in Medford, MA. While we exclusively used CertainTeed branded items, we actually installed a few different items to take this home from dated to luxurious. With the help of these CertainTeed products, this home was looking like it was brand new. Many homes in Medford are a bit older because Boston and its surrounding areas are some of the oldest areas in the entire country. This provides the perfect opportunity for us to show off our craftsmanship and take these homes and completely flip the external aesthetic of them. While the interior looked great, the external appearance provides a first impression that was not as amazing. Once we had the opportunity to work on this, it was clear that this home was going to make a great first impression upon the finish of our work.
