What are High Performance Windows?

According to the United States Department of Energy high-performance window systems are Energy Star-rated Certified windows that keep homes more comfortable, reduce outdoor noise, and consume less energy because of their energy efficient features. 1

“High-efficiency ENERGY STAR-rated windows perform at least 15% better than a standard window and have an insulating value of R-3 or higher. Ultra-efficient windows perform at least 50% better than a standard window and have an insulating value of R-5 or higher. On average, they save homeowners 7% to15% on utility bills.”

Energy Efficiency

High-performance windows significantly reduce heat loss during the winter and minimize heat gain during the summer. This is achieved through advanced technologies such as low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings, multiple glazing layers, and gas fills.

  • Low-E Coatings: These coatings reflect infrared light, keeping heat inside during winter and outside during summer.
  • Multiple Glazing Layers: Double or triple-pane windows with inert gas fills (like argon or krypton) enhance insulation properties.
  • Gas Fills: Krypton and argon filled windows use gas between multiple glass layers to achieve ultra-efficiency, reducing

 

ENHANCED COMFORT

Simonton replacement windows make homes more comfortable by maintaining a more consistent indoor temperature, high-performance windows eliminate drafts and reduce cold spots near windows, providing a more comfortable living environment. Ultra-efficient windows surpass the minimum energy star rating, performing 50% better than a standard window when it comes to energy efficiency, noise reduction, and light filtration/refraction.

 

NOISE REDUCTION

High-performance windows also offer superior noise reduction compared to traditional windows. The multiple layers of glass and insulating gas fills help to dampen external noise, creating a quieter indoor space.

 

UV PROTECTION

The Low-E coatings on high-performance windows also block a significant amount of ultraviolet (UV) rays, protecting your furniture, flooring, and artwork from fading.

 

KEY FEATURES OF HIGH-PERFORMING WINDOWS

 

FRAME MATERIALS

The material of the window frame plays a vital role in the overall performance of the window. Common frame materials include:

  • Vinyl: Durable and low-maintenance, vinyl frames are excellent insulators.
  • Wood: Offers natural insulation and aesthetic appeal but requires more maintenance.
  • Fiberglass: Extremely durable and resistant to warping, making it ideal for extreme climates.
  • Aluminum: Strong and lightweight but requires thermal breaks to improve insulation.

 

GLAZING OPTIONS

High-performance windows often feature advanced glazing options to maximize energy efficiency and comfort:

  • Double Glazing: Two layers of glass with an air or gas fill in between.
  • Triple Glazing: Three layers of glass with two air or gas fills, providing superior insulation.
  • Laminated Glass: Layers of glass with an interlayer that enhances security and soundproofing.

 

SPACER SYSTEMS

Spacers are used to separate the layers of glazing and maintain the integrity of the window’s thermal barrier. High-performance windows utilize warm-edge spacers made from materials that conduct less heat, improving overall energy efficiency.

SOLAR COATINGS

Certain window models include Low-E solar coating to effectively reduce heat transfer, sun damage, and outdoor noise.

 

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Proper installation is crucial for the performance of high-performance windows. Poor installation can lead to air leaks, water infiltration, and reduced efficiency. It is essential to hire a professional installer with experience in high-performance windows to ensure optimal results.

 

COST AND RETURN ON INVESTMENT

While high-performance windows may have a higher upfront cost compared to traditional windows, the long-term savings on energy bills and increased home comfort can provide a significant return on investment. Additionally, many regions offer rebates and incentives for installing energy-efficient windows, further offsetting the initial cost.
