The windows of your home are much more than just a part of the aesthetics. They play a crucial role in keeping your home comfortable all year. However, they do not last forever, and they become less energy-efficient over time. This is why you should consider replacing your windows every 15-20 years.
When researching what new windows you should buy, it can be overwhelming. There are different types of windows, such as double-hung, bay, sliding, and awning windows, just to name a few. Regardless of the style of window you choose, it is important to consider a variety of factors, such as the R-value.
What is R-Value?
The R-value refers to the material’s resistance to heat transfer. In general, the higher the value, the better it is at stopping heat transfer. So, if you buy a window with a high R-value, it is more energy efficient, and you will have lower monthly heating & cooling costs.
We always recommend that you choose windows with as high an R-value as possible, because of the money you will save on your monthly utility bills. Generally, higher R-value windows tend to be more costly. So, consider your budget when selecting your new windows.
