Energy Efficient Windows

Energy Efficient Windows for Ottawa Valley

With our cold winters and warm summers, energy efficient windows are essential for Ottawa Valley homeowners. The right windows can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs while improving comfort.

What Makes Windows Energy Efficient?

• Multiple panes – Double or triple glazing with insulating air spaces
• Low-E coatings – Reflect heat back to its source
• Gas fills – Argon or krypton between panes for better insulation
• Warm edge spacers – Reduce heat transfer at glass edges
• Quality frames – Vinyl, fiberglass, or wood with thermal breaks
