WHAT ARE YOUR GREATEST WINDOW CONCERNS? High heating and cooling costs High maintenance costs Difficulty in window operation Dust, dirt and noise pollution Leaking wind and water Will not stay open

OLD WINDOWS WASTE ENERGY RADIATION – Heat radiates to cool – In the winter heat radiates through your windows – In summer the sun radiates into your home – 25% of heat loss in caused by radiation through windowpanes INFILTRATION – A gap or crack as small as 1/16 inch will allow as much air to enter your home as a full brick missing from your wall CONDUCTION – Heat naturally moves to the coolest area through all matter – An average home with 12 windows now has a hole in the wall about the size of 48 missing bricks – Conduction wastes about 3 times more energy than infiltration

ATRIUM WINDOWS ARE PERFORMANCE RATED & INDEPENDENTLY TESTED The American Architectural Manufacturers Association sets the standards for air infiltration, water resistance, structural load and wind resistance The NFRC administers an independent rating and labeling system for energy performance of windows and doors All Atrium replacement windows can be specified to meet Energy Star ® criteria in all climate regions

A WIDE RANGE OF CHOICES – WHAT’S BEST? Basic home center windows Bargain basement windows Storm windows Wood windows Aluminum windows

BASIC HOME CENTER WINDOWS Factory produced standard sizes Made for DIY universal fit installation May require additional work to make fit (Brick, siding, sheetrock, paint) May require enlarging or reducing opening Expensive and no guarantee repairs will match

BARGAIN BASEMENT WINDOWS How can any and all sizes be one price? Are there any custom sizes? Do they remove the old window? Do they actually install the window? Are screens included? Are all windows aligned and sealed? Do they include trim and cleanup? $99

STORM WINDOWS They don’t replace your existing windows, they just cover them up You still have your old windows to maintain They don’t stop air infiltration They save very little energy You now have 8 glass surfaces to clean They are just not attractive

WOOD WINDOWS Very expensive Expensive to install Require regular maintenance and painting Will absorb moisture Deteriorate over time Limited or no custom sizes available

ALUMINUM WINDOWS Conduct heat and cold resulting in high-energy loss Metal frame increases chance of condensation Interior trim can deteriorate from condensation Aluminum can scratch, dent, pit and corrode Thermal breaks can be bypassed by heat and cold Amplifies outside noise Tendency to jam and bind in operation

THE RIGHT CHOICE: FUSION WELDED VINYL REPLACEMENT WINDOWS Natural insulators, makes your home more energy efficient Won’t conduct heat or cold Keeps your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer Color is all the way through Virtually maintenance free, no scraping or painting ever Custom sized to fit your openings for a perfect fit and quick installation Easy to operate, sashes lift easily and tilt-in for easy cleaning

ENERGY EFFICIENT VINYL WINDOWS Lowers utility bills now and for the future Lowers maintenance costs and pays for itself Virtually eliminates time consuming maintenance A good investment that adds to the value of your home Reduces sound transmission Greatly improves the appearance of your home Provides a more comfortable home year round

LOW-E GLASS TECHNOLOGY A virtually invisible layer of silver on one side of the glass that reflects radiant solar energy while permitting light to pass In cold climates, keeps rooms warmer by reflecting heat back into the home while letting warm solar rays in In hot summer temperatures lets visible light pass while blocking infrared and ultraviolet radiant solar energy Your rooms stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, thus saving on energy costs

LOW-E GLASS WITH INSULATING GAS You receive all the benefits of Low-E glass Insulating gas works like a blanket between two panes of glass to further improve thermal efficiency Saves even more valuable energy dollars Helps deter outside sound from entering your home

THE ENERGY STAR ® WINDOW PROGRAM The Department of Energy (DOE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed the Energy Star ® designation program for products meeting certain energy performance criteria The program is tailored to meet the energy needs of the country’s four different climate regions and help consumers identify energy efficient windows and doors Energy Star ® labeled windows and doors are 40% more efficient than products required under most common national building codes

INDEPENDENT TESTING FROM THE EFFICIENT WINDOW COLLABORATIVE The Efficient Windows Collaborative provides consumers with information required to select energy efficient windows for new construction, or for renovations and additions to excising homes. You can compare potential energy saving and more for your area of the country by visiting the Efficient Windows Collaborative website.
