Window Radiant Barriers

Even if you have the most energy-efficient windows on the market, or if your windows were recently installed, significant heat is lost through them in winter to the outside, and passes into the house during summer. It's just the nature of glass, in that it transmits and conducts heat rather than retaining it where you want it. Shades and blinds are little help because they heat-up themselves then emit the energy anyway - even the insulated ones.

While your wall next to your windows may be insulated to R-15, even the best double-paned, low-e windows have the equivalent of ony about R-5. Let's face it, windows are essentially holes in your walls that lose tremendous amounts of energy. And yet, virtually the only solution most energy consultants and home improvement contractors can offer are shades, blinds or window replacements. Unfortunately, these are not very effective. And, of course, shades and blinds shut out the wonderful light, which is so important for health and comfort in your home.

But, now there are new effective products for residential and commercial use that use space-age technology to reflect that heat back inside your house in winter where you want it, and keep it outside in summer. These benefits can save you up to 40% of your home fuel bills, and cost a fraction of that for window replacements. Click here to download a brochure on the benefits of Window Radiant Barriers.
