Energy costs are rising every year, so it’s time to consider home upgrades to improve your home’s energy performance. Bradford Xteriors can help you in this regard with our roofing, siding and window replacement services. We explain further below.
Energy-Efficient Windows
Modern windows featuring low-emissivity or low-E glass can prevent heat transfer, especially in summer and winter. Low-E glass contains a thin layer of oxidized meta designed to filter ultraviolet and infrared radiation from the sun, thus preventing heat gain in your home as well as furniture fading. The glass achieves this without sacrificing the amount of visible light that is admitted into your home. In doing so, you enjoy all the benefits of a regular “clear” window along with energy savings thanks to the window’s excellent energy efficiency.
Insulation
Maintaining a stable indoor temperature keeps your family comfortable throughout the changing seasons. Proper insulation provides protection from heat loss and heat gain, depending on the season. Energy-efficient windows reduce the burden on your HVAC system, saving you money on energy.
In addition, replacing your siding usually entails new insulation as well, which creates a tighter thermal envelope. If your siding is old and damaged, it’s time to consider a replacement.
Cool Roofs
A cool roof offers excellent cover against the heat of the sun. Featuring a reflective coating, a cool roof deflects heat from the sun. This reduces your home’s air conditioning demands because less heat makes it into your home that needs to be “cooled.” A cool roofing system is your best roof replacement choice for an energy-efficient home.
