The Workings of Energy Efficient Windows
http://www.youtube.com/v/epL5s8nqmrk?hl=en&fs=1
Windows have a large impact on your home's overall energy efficiency. In fact, up to 30 percent of your home’s lost energy can escape through the doors and windows.
In this video, you can learn how to shop for new energy-efficient windows by looking at Energy Star and National Fenestration Rating Council labels. These labels have four important numbers on them: U-factor, solar heat gain coefficient, visible transmissions, and condensation resistance. Each of these factors is a measurement of the window’s energy performance. This video explains each of these factors in detail.
Wallside Windows can help you find the right set of energy-efficient windows to help improve your home's efficiency and beauty. Contact us at (313) 908-5243 today.

What the Intercept Spacer System Means for Your Home's Energy Efficiency
Spacers, which separate panes of glass, are integral parts of energy-efficient replacement windows. Spacer systems need to have a few qualities in order to be effective and augment the energy efficiency of replacement windows. For example, if the sealant in a rigid spacer is allowed to flex, the seal between panes can become compromised. This reduces its energy efficiency. The Intercept Spacer System uses "warm-edge" technology to allow the spacer itself to flex during temperature changes, preserving the integrity of the sealant and keeping replacement windows energy-efficient at all times.
How Temperature Changes Affect Windows
Multi-pane replacement windows use spacers between each pane of glass to create a gap that is either filled with air or inert gases, which reduces heat conduction and improves the thermal performance of the window. To prevent condensation and keep these spaces filled with gas, spacers are sealed in place. In some replacement windows, the spacers are rigid and do not allow natural flexion that happens when temperatures change. This allows the sealant to flex and eventually causes it to fail. The Intercept Spacer System is designed to flex with the window during temperature swings. This eliminates the force on the sealant itself, preserving the energy efficiency of the replacement window in all seasons.
How Warm-Edge Technology Works
Most modern replacement windows include spacers in their multi-paned designs, but the best use warm-edge spacers like Intercept. To get the most out of your replacement window investment and allow them to continue performing admirably for many years to come, make sure to purchase windows with warm-edge spacers.
Wallside Windows proudly installs Intercept Warm Edge Spacers, which improve the insulating value, structural integrity, and overall energy performance of our windows. Visit us online to learn more about the Intercept System or contact us at (313) 908-5243 today.
