Which is more important in saving energy, the frame or the glass?
Seventy
percent of an average window is glass; therefore, your biggest
opportunity to save on energy comes from the glass. Remember, however,
that the frame still makes up 30% of the window. Quite often, a
replacement window will feel drafty around the edges. A frame that lacks
insulating value generally causes this problem. That’s why every vinyl
window we install includes a frame that is foam filled, giving it
superior insulating ability.

structural damage to your home, and even void the manufacturers
warranty. Our installation experts are trained to do the job right the
