Littleton Window Cost vs. Energy Efficiency
We all know that the most efficient windows are usually also some of our favorite, like Marvin, Pella, Anderson, Jeld-Wen, Excalibur & more, because they don't break your bank and still give you awesome window features & benefits. However, it's not necessary to buy high-end products if we want utility bill savings or improved comfort/looks! Choosing an energy star-labeled window for less money than premium brands can be tricky though...

Littleton Windows, Glazing, Low E, Gas Fills, Spacers, Frame Materials, Costs
Window labels can seem like a tricky language without knowing the jargon, but luckily you'll want to avoid mistakes by familiarizing yourself with these terms.
Glazing is simply the glass used in the window. The number of layers of glazing (single, double, or triple) doesn’t necessarily equal greater efficiency; the presence or absence of the other items in this list affects a window’s total energy performance. Glazing coatings can substantially affect a window’s U-factor, or degree of insulation against the outdoors.
Low-E stands for low emissivity, the window’s ability to reflect rather than absorb heat when coated with a thin metallic substance. Low-E coatings add up to 10% to the price of a window.
If your windows are in relatively good shape but you’d like better insulation, you can buy and apply Low-E films to your windows. They’re effective, but not as much as those put between glazing layers during manufacturing. Look for the NFRC rating on these films. Low-E films start at about $0.50 per square foot, but you may want to check into the cost of having them professionally installed for large or complicated applications.
Gas fills typically consist of argon or krypton gas sandwiched between glazing layers to improve insulation and slow heat transfer. They often won’t work at high altitudes because differences in air pressure cause them to leak out.
Spacers
separate sheets of glass in a window to improve insulating quality; the design and material are important to prevent condensation and heat loss.
Frame materials include vinyl, wood, aluminum, fiberglass, or a combination of those. They each have different strengths: Vinyl windows are good insulators and are easy to maintain but contract and expand with temperature changes, affecting the window’s air leakage; wood offers a classic look but is similarly affected by moisture changes and needs regular maintenance; fiberglass is very stable and low-maintenance but can be expensive; and aluminum is lightweight, stable, and a good sound proofer but is a rapid conductor of heat, making it a drain on energy efficiency.

Are double-hung windows worth the extra money?
If you really do a stern cost analysis, double pane windows actually tend to be the best value, unless of course, you plan to stay in your home for at least 10 or more years. While triple panes do reduce energy costs, it could take you 10 - 20 years for the energy savings to really pay off.
