3 Things Every Energy-Efficient Window Must Have
Energy efficiency is becoming an essential consideration when it comes to windows. Apart from the environmental impact that this kind of efficiency has, it can also affect your monthly energy bills. Choosing energy-efficient windows is easier when you know what to look for.
BEE® Window lists the three things to look for.
1. The ENERGY STAR label
A vinyl replacement window in Muncie bearing the ENERGY STAR label is sure to meet the government body’s standards for efficiency. This hinges on two things:
• U-Factor: This number measures the quantity of non-solar heat escaping through the window. The lower this number is, the better a window is at energy efficiency.
• Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC): This number shows how much solar heat actually passes through your window. Again, lower is better for this coefficient.
Additionally, ENERGY STAR helps you pick out the windows that are most suited for your particular climate zone.
2. The right frame
It’s not just the pane of glass that has a bearing on your window’s energy efficiency, as your window frames play a big part, as well. Today, your basement replacement window in Anderson can find itself framed by wood, vinyl, fiberglass, or even composite. Each of these vary in terms of heat transfer. It depends on the climate of the area you live in. Experts recommend fiberglass, wood, and vinyl over aluminum. Nevertheless, aluminum is said to be most effective when the climate is humid.
3. The glaze
The US Department of Energy has commented that glazing has improved over the years. Our Infinity from Marvin® windows use LoE2-272® glazing to reflect heat back to its source and either push away or retain heat depending on the season. The glazing even screens up to 84% of harmful UV rays that tend to contribute to fading of furnishings and carpentry. We also filled our windows with Argon gas, which can lower U-Factor significantly.
With Infinity from Marvin, you get the best energy efficiency of any window out in the market today. These also come in a range of styles and designs that match your home’s character and needs. Give BEE Window a call today, and we’ll be glad to help you pick the windows perfect for your home and energy efficiency needs.

A Reputation You Can Trust
We have a beautiful new redesigned shower! It’s even better than I imagined. It’s more functional and beauutiful. We are so happy! Thank you Bee Windows! It was great working on the design options with Ric and we had the greatest installation working with Nick! And a shout out to Cameron in the office who kept me in the loop and answered all my questions! We most definitely recommend Bee Windows to our friends and neighbors.. Best customer service experience ever!
Wonderful people to work with and all appeared to love their company. Friendly and fast! We had 14 long direct set windows, 5 crank casements installed that framed out to match our wood almost exactly! We also had 9 sliders installed making our three season room my new “she-cave”. We have already started seeing a difference in our cooling bill. The one ‘snag’ was corrected with very little delay. No mess!!! Hint: Get the bronze wrap, it’s very nice and gave our 60’s home a face lift!!
Definitely a wonderful experience from Brenton Patterson, our sales representative very knowledgeable and answered all our questions! To the installation: John Brown did an amazing job with installing our beautiful sliding door! He and his team were so professional and they cleaned up after themselves! We can’t wait to use the Bee team for our future projects! One of the best companies around! Thank you!
Bee gave us a wonderful experience in every facet of the process from our initial contact, Jeff, to our project liaison Justin, to our installation team lead by Jarlin. We got a high quality product with a lifetime warranty. We will not have to do anything else with the exterior of our home as long as we live here. Great peace of mind with great service.
