What Are the Best Replacement Windows for Homes in a Desert Climate?
Homeowners who live in desert climates need to take extra precautions when upgrading the exterior of their homes. Home improvement products that aren’t built for a hot, arid climate will likely not last long under the steady glare of the sun. Traditional wood windows, for example, don’t perform well in these climates because the wood can warp and fade. A better alternative, if you’re in the market for replacement windows and live in such a climate, are vinyl windows with low-E glass.
Why Vinyl?
Unlike wood, vinyl window frames are designed to hold strong even after years of exposure to the elements. They’re extra resistant to warping and fading, and because the color runs through the entire frame, they will never have to be repainted. Additionally, vinyl is a lot easier to maintain than wood, requiring only an occasional wipe-down with soap and water to look like new.
What Is Low-E Glass?
Low-E stands for low-emissivity and refers to how well a glass pane stops heat transfer. This is an important feature of replacement windows for homeowners in desert climates, because the constant heat from the sun can make your HVAC run overtime as it tries to cool your home, which can drive up your energy bills. High-performance, low-E glass minimizes heat gain, better insulating your home and helping your HVAC run more efficiently. The result could be lower monthly energy bills.
