Performance & Comfort
    Earthwise windows are designed
to conserve energy and reduce your home heating and cooling costs. The combination
of vinyl's excellent insulating properties and specially designed insulating air
chambers makes vinyl frames a formidable barrier to energy transfer. Plus, combining
warm edge 3/4" insulating glass with LoE2 and argon gas will maximize energy performance.
It is this combination of technologies that effectively decreases heating and cooling
costs while at the same time minimizes sound transmission. LoE2 also blocks up to
75% of the harmful ultraviolet rays which can fade carpets, draperies and artwork.

In addition, argon gas is 48% less conductive than air; thereby reducing the transfer
of hot and cold - adding even more thermal efficiency. Tests performed to the National
Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) method demonstrates the superiority of vinyl
windows versus alternative framing materials. Vinyl windows keep the warm air in
during the winter and the cool air in during the summer. In fact, using conservative
national averages, upgrading to double glazed, energy efficient all-vinyl windows
could save a homeowner more than 32% a year during the coldest part of the winter
or the hottest part of the summer.
