					Windows Who wants to throw money right out the window? Not us, and we are willing to bet, not you either! However, if your windows are out dated, drafty, cracked, or just plain “old” you are probably losing money as you read this. Installing beautiful, new windows can be one of the smartest investments you make to your home. New energy efficient tax credits have raised standards for energy efficient windows; home owners can save an average of 45% on cooling and heating costs if they outfit their home with updated “green windows.” As you begin shopping for your windows, pay close attention to the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) label. When looking at the NFRC label, look specifically for a window with a U-Factor of .30 or less. The smaller the number, the more efficiently the window is and will block heat and AC from escaping. To qualify for the energy efficiency tax credits, you must choose a window with a U-Factor of .30 or less. A U-Factor of .24, a standard at Aspen, is 18% better than what is required by the new energy efficiency tax credits! High performance windows have other benefits aside from energy savings. By choosing a high performance window you also get the benefit of low maintenance: no painting, easy cleaning, improved view, and reduced condensation. The extra coatings on the glass greatly reduce fading and lower overall maintenance costs. Aspen Home Improvements is proud to offer Energy Star windows. Feel free to explore the benefits of our finest window The Starmark, or our other exceptional choice The Insul-Tec 500 series. Don’t worry about finding a “replacement” window. Starmark windows will match your original construction, providing the look and feel of your authentic wood windows without any of the maintenance. Starmark has several distinct features that you will not find in any other product on the market. Exclusive Wind Jammer Technology automatically seals the window when you open and close it, eliminating drafts that are common with other windows. Routered-in tilt latches provide simplicity and ease in angling the window for cleaning. Foam filled insulated extrusions for added energy efficiency Sleek contoured handles provide ease of use and beauty all in one. A built in multi-point locking systems provides the highest safety by securing three critical points in the window. Heat Shield™ glass in all Starmark windows. Heat reflective coatings are microscopically thin layers of metal oxide that filter light. Some energy is transmitted and some is reflected. The Heat Shield™ is comprised of ELEVEN layers. Typical heat reflective windows contain five or sometimes six layers. The Starmark Heat Shield™ out performs its competitors by offering the highest quality protection available. Purchasing either the Starmark or Insul-tec 500 provides you with windows that have a locking screen, foam filled insulation, and our Energy Star rated glass. You also have the option to select Triple Glazed glass which gives you a 60% BETTER U-Value than the Energy Star requirement! Click HERE to view Starmark Window Info The Insul-tec 500 provides top of the line quality, in one of the industry’s best vinyl windows. It features foam filled insulated extrusions, high tech double and triple glazed glass and Heatseal® technology. The cellular composite is far more durable and a much better insulator than 99% of its vinyl competitors. The 500 series also includes, ClimaGuard™ which operates exactly like the Heatshield™ in the Starmark window. The multilayer surface provides reflective qualities, absorbing some energy and reflecting some energy. This regulates the temperature of your glass making the home more comfortable and saves a lot of “green” on your home energy costs. Heatseal® Spacer. This spacer, in between the glass, provides the best thermal efficiency for your home. Our Heatseal® spacer moderates the temperature of the glass, making the home feel comfortable while using LESS energy and reducing carbon dioxide pollution. Heatseal® spacers save the environment from 1,200 to 1,600lbs of CO2 per year!
