Understanding the NFRC Ratings of Our Windows

If you want to improve your indoor spaces and increase your energy savings, we recommend that you invest in our window replacement services. BEE Window® installs Infinity® windows from Marvin Windows and Doors. They come with Ultrex® fiberglass, which is a pultruded material with exceptional strength and durability. Like our vinyl windows in Indianapolis, IN, Infinity from Marvin also features great energy performance ratings.

NFRC Energy Performance Ratings

The National Fenestration Rating Council helps homeowners choose efficient windows by providing accurate energy labels The U-factor measures how well your replacement window prevents heat from escaping your home. The value generally falls between 1.20 and 0.15. If you want more energy savings, look for lower values.

The Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, or SHCG, measures how much solar heat your replacement window can block. SHGC values typically fall between one and zero. The lower the value, the better your windows in Lafayette, Indiana, are at blocking solar heat gain.

On the other hand, visible Transmittance or VT rates the amount of visible light that passes through your unit. This is a value between one and zero. The higher the VT, the better the window is at daylighting. Lastly, air leakage measures how much outside air can enter your windows. Make sure you look for lower values if you want to prevent drafts.

Our High-Performance Replacement Windows

Our Infinity replacement windows feature excellent ratings. For example, our double-hung window with the optional Low E3/ERS™ glass package has a U-factor of 0.24 to 0.25, an SHGC value of 0.21, and a VT value of 0.48 to 0.49. This means that our window can save you money all-year round. It will prevent heat from escaping in the colder months and entering your home during warmer seasons. In addition, their Ultrex fiberglass frames have a low thermal expansion rate and are immensely durable. This will greatly reduce the risk of air leaks and seal failure.

Our Ultrex windows can make your home more beautiful, durable, comfortable, and energy-efficient.
