The window market these days is over flooded with all kinds of designs, materials, styles and qualities. From picture windows to casement windows to bay and boy windows, there are so many choices out there for your window replacement project, that it becomes a little difficult to go through and decide which type of windows would be best for your home. In this blog we discuss the costs and benefits of investing in double paned windows. Double paned windows are known to be highly energy efficient, relatively cheaper and will make your Minnesota home look great! But we wanted to dig a little deeper into this generally known knowledge as energy efficient windows are crucial to have these days, especially in freezing cold Minnesota! Did you know that at least a quarter of the energy lost from ones home in Minnesota is due to badly insulated windows and doors? The rest of the three quarters can be attributed to bad home insulation. All in all, this combination of poor energy windows and home insulation can result in your heating and cooling bills to sky rocket, having you digging into your savings accounts just to stay warm in Minnesota winter instead of spending on a warm vacation away from this place in the winter months! We are A Pane In The Glass Construction – a local Minneapolis Window Replacement Company, and we want you to be well informed before making any decisions for your window installation project.
Window Replacement Company| The Pros and Cons of Double Paned Window Installation
As discussed earlier in this blog, double paned window installation can greatly reduce your heating and cooling bills due to their energy efficient nature. But not only are double paned windows energy efficient, but they also have the following list of benefits to you:
1. Soundproofing: Did you know that well insulated double paned windows can also help reduce noise pollution? With well home insulated windows, you can cut out the noise of constant traffic outside your home. Especially if you live close to train tracks – you don’t want that train horn waking you up at 4 in the morning on a Saturday now do you? So look at home soundproofing as an added bonus to your new window installation project.
2. Environmentally Friendly: Yes, it is true – you save in the future in your heating and cooling bills – but that is because you are conserving more energy! By conserving energy, you are reducing your environmental footprint and so – reducing your greenhouse gas emissions.
3. Less Cost, More Savings! Were you aware, that your can save up to a quarter percentage of energy in the intense and long Minnesota Winter months by choosing to go with double paned windows? Imagine – that is the amount of money you will be saving, and you will see this in your electric/gas bill regularly.
