Materials and Glass Options We Offer
We offer a variety of glass types and frame materials to match your home's needs. Our focus is on durability, energy savings, and enhancing your home's comfort. You can also choose upgrades that improve insulation and reduce energy costs.
Types of Glass for Double Panes
We use several types of glass, including tempered glass for safety and laminated glass for sound reduction. Standard clear glass is available for basic needs, but we often recommend Low-E glass.
Low-E glass has a special coating that blocks heat and UV rays while letting in natural light. This helps keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter, lowering your energy bills.
Our double-pane windows include an air or gas fill between the glass layers, often argon or krypton gas, to improve insulation. This makes your windows stronger and more energy-efficient.
Frame Material Choices
We offer frames made of several materials: vinyl, wood, aluminum, and fiberglass. Vinyl frames are popular for their low cost and resistance to moisture. Wood frames provide excellent insulation but need more maintenance.
Aluminum frames are strong and lightweight but conduct heat more, which can affect energy efficiency. Fiberglass frames combine durability with great insulation and need little upkeep.
Each frame type can be painted or finished to match your home’s style. We help you choose based on your budget, climate, and maintenance preferences.
Energy-Efficient Upgrades
We provide upgrades to boost your windows’ energy performance. This includes argon or krypton gas fills, which reduce heat transfer better than air.
Another option is adding warm edge spacers, which are installed between the glass panes to reduce heat loss around the edges. This upgrade improves the window’s overall insulation value.
You can also choose triple-pane glass for extra insulation in very cold or hot climates. These upgrades can lower your heating and cooling costs and increase your home's comfort year-round.
Our Replacement Process
1. Consultation and Inspection
We start by visiting your property to inspect the damaged or old double window panes. During this visit, we check for cracks, fogging, and seal failures. We also look at the window frames to confirm they are in good shape.
This inspection helps us decide if a full replacement is needed or if repairs will suffice. After that, we talk with you about your needs and preferences. We explain the options and answer any questions you might have.
3. Removal and Installation
Our team carefully removes the old double window panes without damaging your frames. We dispose of broken glass safely and prepare the opening for the new panes.
We then fit the new custom-made double panes. During installation, we use sealants and spacers to prevent air and water leaks. After installing, we clean the area and test the windows to ensure they open, close, and seal properly.
2. Custom Measurements and Product Selection
Next, we take exact measurements of your window openings. Precision is vital because even small errors can cause gaps or poor insulation.
We offer a variety of double-pane glass options made for energy efficiency and durability. You can choose from different thicknesses, types of glass, and coatings. We help you pick the best materials based on your budget and the climate in Santa Clarita.
Energy Efficiency and Insulation Benefits
At Santa Clarita Prime Windows, we know double window panes help improve energy efficiency in your home. These windows have two layers of glass with a space between them that acts as insulation. This design reduces heat loss in winter and keeps your home cooler in summer.
The space between the panes often contains gas fills like argon or krypton. These gases improve insulation more than regular air. This means less energy is needed for heating and cooling.
We find that double pane windows also reduce outside noise. This helps create a quieter, more comfortable indoor space.
We are confident these windows improve your home's energy use and comfort. Our replacement services make sure your windows perform well and last longer.
