Energy-efficient windows for a warm and peaceful home: what to look for

After spending the day at work and coming home, who doesn’t dream of a house with integrated decisions that take the burden off the homeowner’s shoulders? You may not have a smart home, but smart solutions save your budget by keeping your place warm in the winter and not letting the cool air outside in the summer. 

Energy efficient windows add coziness and comfort, protect, and, in fact, lessen the load of monthly expenses.

We understand how the whims of Canada’s weather may influence your home environment. These worries are history for our clients, who followed our expert’s advice and got rid of their old and unreliable windows.

Health problems and windows

Constant sneezing and coughing may be an alarming sign of serious health troubles. It happens that a person catches a cold while staying inside the building due to a draught. Your room climate and your health are interconnected. Add to this this depressing fact: the bills skyrocketed, but there is still no desired warmth.

The situation is especially acute when you have small children, who are well-known for playing on the floor and may protest against warm socks.

Mould is another serious factor that causes health problems – allergies and inflammation in the respiratory system. It’s of vital importance to prevent the growth of the fungus in your home. We service high quality windows and doors that satisfy all your needs and protect your family well-being. 

Sharp response to harsh summer

It’s worth diving into the details to see how windows help to stay in comfort during hot summer days. Energy-saving effects come with advanced technologies that control UV-light and prevent cool air leakage providing better insulation. 

Heat is a challenge for many people as it negatively affects our organisms. We try to keep it at bay during the summer months, as high humidity and warm wind make the temperature feel way higher than it is on a thermometer. The humidex can soar to near +40 °C, spreading warnings over GTA.

Ecosmart windows and LoE Glass work in a peculiar way throughout different seasons, thus reflecting the heat away and welcoming the light in the summer, though both stay inside your place in the winter.

Maintaining temperature was never as easy as it is now with energy-efficient windows that have an argon gas-filled chamber. It’s a non-toxic gas that serves as an additional help to minimize condensation and assures that residents enjoy soundproofing effects.

Variety of choices

For many, appearances are the first consideration. The windows, being not only an essential part of the house, but also a significant detail in the home design, present rich options of materials and colours. Our suppliers are top-rated companies with an excellent reputation on the market. 

Speaking of window styles, we suggest following alternatives:

  • Awning;
  • Bay;
  • Bow;
  • Casement;
  • Double Hung;
  • Double Lift-Out Slider;
  • Double Tilt Slider;
  • Fixed / Picture;
  • Single Lift-Out Slider;
  • Single Tilt Slider.

If you are confused which variant will suit your home best, our experts at HTR Windows and Doors will consult you and suggest the most appropriate and functional ideas for your place to make it exactly as you imagine it. The modern variants combine aesthetics and functionality — no place like home to rejuvenate, right?

ENERGY STAR-certified products

We install products that earn Energy Star labels. High quality guarantees the longevity of your house upgrade and results in a budget-friendly decision in the long run. But saving energy is not only about reducing bills — think about the better future that is being built today and now.

The energy ratings are evaluated according to the A440.2 standard by Canadian Standards Association. 

U-factor plays a great role, as it’s an important criteria that shows both heat loss and heat gain; the rate of natural light penetration and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). Simply put, the indicator demonstrates how much heat your place gains from the sun’s rays.

The Process of Choosing Your Replacement Windows FAQ

There are three main materials for your new windows: wood, aluminum, and vinyl. We recommend vinyl the most because it is cost-effective, durable, and customizable. Aluminum is robust and has a slim profile, while wood provides a classic look but requires more maintenance.
You should consider replacing your windows if you notice drafts, difficulty opening or closing them, increased energy bills, or visible damage like cracks or rot. Windows typically last 15-20 years, so if yours are older, it might be time to contact us for a replacement!
First, you should consider your home’s design and your personal preferences. If you have difficulties in deciding what looks best you can always consult with an interior designer. He can help you choose a style that complements your home’s architecture.
As you choose exterior doors, you should consider factors like climate, security needs, and design preferences. While interior ones usually require only design considerations.
Energy-efficient windows offer several advantages, such as:
  • Lower energy bills due to improved insulation;
  • Reduced noise levels;
  • Better overall comfort in your home.
They often feature double or triple glazing, low-E coatings, and improved UV resistance, which extend the lifespan of the windows.
You can enhance your windows with various decorative options, such as designer glass, accent colours, and custom grilles. These touches personalize your windows. Get in touch with us to discuss these options to ensure they fit your budget and style preferences.
