Top 5 Energy-Efficient Windows

 
 High Performance R-5 Windows

Ply Gem® has raised the standard of efficiency with its high performance R-5 windows, which make them the perfect option for new home construction. These highly insulating windows make them one of the most energy-efficient windows on the market and they are ideal for cold and mixed climates. Having an R-value of 5 means that these windows have reduced heat loss from a U-factor of 0.3 to 0.2. Simply put, consumers will save more than 30% on energy bills.

Outperforming Vinyl and Aluminum

Integrity Windows® Ultrex® Fiberglass Sliders are the perfect alternative to casement windows when space is limited to allow for a swinging sash, like over a kitchen sink. And then of course there is efficiency and durability to consider which is why Ultrex® was designed using the latest in fiberglass technology to create highly durable, stable and virtually indestructible windows. It's offered in LoE2 tempered glass for extra durability, shatter resistance and a special efficiency glazing.
