ENERGY EFFICIENCY


 Standards for  energy efficiency for windows  have been put in place to ensure that windows perform well in our climate. Energy Star certification is one such standard. Note however that they are not the only energy efficient windiws. Windows can be very energy efficient even if they do not come with  this certification. In addition other factors can affect the energetic performance of your home including the number of windows in the house, the climate, the orientation of the house, the quality of the glazing and the materials used to manufacture the window. Consult with us for more information about Energy Star certified windows and our other products.

DOUBLE HUNG GUILLOTINE WINDOWS


This type of window has two sashes that slide vertically up and down in the frame. They can open wide from either the top or the bottom, The yremain inside their  frames so they don't protrude out to the exterior or interior of the house. Double hung windows  offer great ventilation options as the top part of the window can be opened and the bottom part remain closed.


On aSINGLE HUNG GUILLOTINE WINDOW, only the bottom part of the window operates  while the top part remains in place Some guillotine windows come with tilt in pannels which makes them easy to clean. The panels can be of  2 different dimensions. A decorative touch can be added  to the  windows with  tiling between the glasses,  or on both surfaces for a more realistic effect. The tiling between the glass panes  is more resistant to yellowing, cracking and fading. It also allows easy cleaning of  the windows.A spacer located on the edges provides triple and double glass panes sealing as well as insulation
