When looking for beautiful and energy-efficient replacement windows, you shouldn’t settle for subpar widows. At STL Windows Direct, a division of local exterior remodeling contractor STL Design and Build, we offer ecoSmart 365 windows by Great Lakes® Window. This premium window system provides quality performance for up to 40% less than the premium “name brand”.
In the first part of our product spotlight on the ecoSmart 365 window system, we take a closer look at its notable features.
Glass Solutions
The triple-glazed ecoSmart 365 windows utilize EnergyGuard 3KR Performance Glass, which features three important components:
- Krypton gas fills – This inert gas is four times more efficient than argon.
- Low emissivity (low-E) coating – This special glass coating keeps out harmful ultraviolet (UV) and infrared rays that damage and fade interior fixtures.
- Non-metallic spacer – Placed between each glass panel, it moves with the expansion and contraction of the glass during weather and temperature changes to reduce seal failure to a minimum.
With these, you get clear, uninterrupted outdoor views and unmatched comfort and protection from the sun’s heat.
Strong and Durable Frames and Sashes
The ecoSmart 365 window system’s sashes and frames are not just made of 100% vinyl. They’re also fusion-welded, not like windows from competitor brands where the same are glued and screwed. This gives the window strength and durability that make for a great choice in kitchen remodeling or any other home improvement project. The frames and sashes contain features such as:
- SmartCore – This exclusive patented insulation foam has an R-value of 7.25 per inch of thickness that provides the window with better insulation than one with a hollow frame.
- ecoCore – This full-composite reinforcement is used throughout all the frame and sash cavities to further enhance the window’s structural integrity.
Warranty
When you invest in ecoSmart 365 windows, you not only enjoy significant savings in your energy bills. They also come with a lifetime transferable warranty as well as additional lifetime warranties for when glass breakage or seal failure occurs. You won’t find any window warranty from a competitor that is more comprehensive than this.
