Renovating or replacing windows on your home is a substantial financial commitment. Due to multiple variables influencing costs of window replacements, it’s crucial that you fully comprehend them prior to making your decision.
Double pane windows can help your home save energy by lowering heating and cooling expenses, while simultaneously reducing noise pollution by diverting sound waves through two layers of glass before reaching your ears.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Double pane windows offer an efficient cost-cutting solution with great energy efficiency. Insulated with either argon or krypton gas between glass panels and low-e coatings, double pane windows keep homes warm during winter and cool during summer, keeping the inside temperatures even throughout the year.
Furniture and carpets from sun fading are better protected with double pane windows as UV rays must pass through both panes before entering your home. Plus, their thick insulating frames make it harder for burglars to gain entry.
Our double-pane windows come in various styles – casement, sliding, bay & bow windows and specialty shapes to complement any home. To maximize energy savings, look for windows with low U-factors and high visible transmittance ratings; Energy Star-approved models may even give more savings and qualify for tax credits to offset their replacement cost.
Reduced Noise
Homeowners opting for double pane windows often make this decision because of their energy efficiency and thermal insulation benefits, as well as how effectively they reduce outside noises, making their living space quieter overall.
These devices work because they use an insulating layer such as air, argon or xenon gas to place between two glass panes to maintain an insulated barrier that keeps heat out in winter and keeps warm air inside during summer without allowing drafts to escape through gaps between panes.
These windows feature desiccant material that absorbs atmospheric humidity, helping prevent condensation formation. This helps prevent window damage, mold growth and mildew growth while protecting them against other issues like window breakage or mildew accumulation.
Condensation can have a severe detrimental impact on energy efficiency and lead to leaks that reduces the benefits of installing windows in the first place. Furthermore, condensation may trigger rust and corrosion on metal frames reducing their lifespan over time; that is why investing in double-pane windows that come with warranties may be worthwhile.
Increased Home Value
Triple-pane windows may offer greater insulating value in your home, but they should not be seen as just another trend. Their cost and higher potential for condensation, fogging, energy loss or limited natural lighting (which has numerous health and emotional benefits) make them undesirable features.

Less Maintenance
Old and broken windows account for up to 30% of energy loss in many Lexington homes, accounting for as much as 30-35% of energy costs and environmental impact. Replacing them with replacement double pane windows may reduce energy losses while saving money and cutting environmental impact. Double pane windows feature an insulating gas such as argon or krypton between glass panels that dramatically increases their thermal performance, making them an intelligent choice for Lexington homeowners living in cold climates.
Insulated windows are most effective when all existing single-pane windows in the house are replaced, as this eliminates drafts and moisture condensation that undermine their insulating properties. Select double-pane energy-efficient windows with low U-factors and high visible transmittance ratings to maximize savings; Energy Star models may even qualify for tax credits, further lowering installation costs while leading to long-term energy bill savings.
