To choose the best windows and patio doors for your home…

Be sure to ask the right questions.

Which products are the most energy-efficient?

ENERGY STAR® qualified windows and patio doors! Read the labels on each model to compare their energy performances. What are some of the advantages of ENERGY STAR qualified products?

  • 20 – 40% more efficient than traditional models;
  • 10% savings on annual heating costs if you replace all of your windows and patio doors.

What makes ENERGY STAR qualified products perform so much better than traditional products?

  • Double or triple glazing with a sealed insulating glass unit
  • Inert gas such as argon or krypton in the glass unit
  • Insulated or low-conductivity frames and sashes

How can I choose the best products for my climate zone?

Ask the salesperson to determine the climate zone where the work will be carried out and explain the importance of the energy rating (ER). The higher the ER, the better the energy performance and the greater the savings!
