Here in San Clemente, CA, it is important to be sure your home windows make sense for this climate. Do yours? How do you know?
The team at NuView Windows can help with this! Check out this short guide to understanding how to choose the right replacement windows for various climates.
Climate: COLD
I know, this doesn’t seem applicable to us Californians. But, knowing what a cold climate requires helps us further understand what we require for our replacement windows. What to look for: overall scores; hone-in on windows with ratings which excel at low-temp and wind resistance (if your home is exposed to these conditions). Also consider (from us here at NuView):
- Duralite warm edge spacer technology: This feature is specifically designed to help the window and frame deal with harsh weather conditions—including freezing temperatures!
- Slide ‘n’ Hide Retractable Screen: This is not an add-on! This screen disappears into the window’s frame when not in use for better views, better energy efficiency, and 50% more natural light—which helps during cold months!
Climate: RAINY
Beware: prices on windows designed for rainy climates will vary a lot, depending on the manufacturer. Here at NuView, our prices are reasonable and competitive because we manufacture our own! What to look for: Consider vinyl frames for a wet climate. This material stands up to the conditions well, without the threat of rust, warp, or rot. Also, consider (from us here at NuView):
- Hi-Flo Drainage System: This drain eliminates the buildup of water through an auto-trigger which allows the water to escape away from the frame.
Climate: Warm
Those who live in the cold envy our California climate. That’s ok; jealousy is flattery, right? When it comes to your windows, though—replacing them can be tricky. What to look for: here at NuView, all our windows are manufactured with the Californian climate in mind. To keep the temperatures regulated indoors and the heating/cooling bills low, our windows offer the following features:
- Multi-chamber pocketed frames: The air within our strategically engineered air pockets adapts to the outside temps to maximize the insulation and energy efficiency.
- Duralite warm edge spacer technology: as mentioned above, this feature ensures optimal performance through the harshest weather conditions.
- Energy blind technology: ask us about our solar screens and thermal blinds. During those extremely hot months, this add-on feature will help lower utility bills, prevent the fading of your furniture upholstery and floors from harmful UV rays, and greatly improve your home’s overall energy efficiency.
