Windows are the weakest link in a homes energy efficiency


Typical dual pane windows have an R-Value of R-2 to R-3 while a high-performance window has an R-Value of R-6 to R-10, making them almost 5 times as efficient. This makes for superior energy efficiency, interior comfort and noise reduction. With Design Pressures of up to DP70 (170-200mph), triple EPDM gaskets, multiple locking points, all of which ensure a superior air and water tight window (<0.03 cfm/ft² Air Infiltration Rating).


Operable windows come in a tilt & turn design, casement, sliding, hopper and the SHGC levels range from 0.17 to 0.48 making them suitable for both hot and cold climates.


Dual Pane vs High Performance Windows - Whole Wall R-Value Average:


For example, if you took a R-50 wall assembly and installed a 15% glazing ratio of dual pane (R-3) windows. That R-50 wall assembly would drop down to a whole wall average of R-15. That is a 70% reduction in R-Value.


Now, take that same R-50 wall assembly and install a 15% glazing ratio of a high-performing (R-8) window. That R-50 wall assembly would now have a whole wall average of R-28. A significant increase in the average whole wall R-Value compared to the standard dual pane window.
