What Homeowners Should Know
- Sealed frames: Energy-efficient window installation insulates and seals the gap around each frame so heat stays in. Get a free estimate to review your options.
- Lower U-factor: In energy efficient windows for cold climates, triple pane glass rates about 0.20 to 0.30 U-value. Double pane rates 0.30 to 0.45, and lower is better.
- Tight seals: About 30% of pros favor casement windows for their airtight seals, per Fixr. Thermal performance tops the list for 87% of these pros.
- Foam core: Insulated CraneBoard ranks among the best siding for energy efficiency. Its foam core out-insulates fiber cement, wood, and brick, helping stop energy loss.
- Air barrier: Under James Hardie siding, HardieWrap weather barrier resists air to cut energy loss. Seams and openings get taped and flashed.
Our Recommendation for Energy Efficiency
- Top pick: Choose triple pane windows with a sealed, flashed install for the biggest comfort gain. Book a free estimate to plan your upgrade.
