Any replacement windows in Boise, ID you get for your home are likely going to be much better than whatever you have on the house right now. If you have old, leaky windows, even the standard replacement windows are going to be head and shoulders above that. But you can add to that upgrade by putting even more effort into your windows. You can make a huge difference in your home with a few upgrades. Examine your budget, figure out what you can afford, and go from there. Here are some of the ways that certain upgrades can help your home even further.

Triple Pane Glass

If you are going from single pane to double pane glass, that’s a big change anyway. But if you add another pane of glass (and another space between those panes) it’s an even larger change. Triple pane glass can help dampen and eliminate outside noise from coming in. If you live in a noisy area, they can make a huge difference in the peace and quiet of your home. They also add to the efficiency of the house and can lower energy bills as well.

Inert Gas Fillings

Most windows come with air between the panes of glass and air does a good job of insulating a home. However, an inert gas is denser than air and the two choices: argon and krypton gas, are completely harmless, invisible, and helpful. These gases insulate the home even further and slow down any air that might try to flow through the glass so your home is more insulated and efficient than it would be with just air.

Low-E Glass Coatings

New windows have a way of bringing in more natural light. Today, frames are smaller and sleeker, which allows there to be more glass space on the windows themselves. That automatically means more natural light gets into your home. For the most part, that’s great. But you also don’t want too much light bringing in too much heat during the hot months of the year. When you put low-E coatings on the glass, your home remains nice and cool, even on the sunniest days. The heat is blocked, as are the UV rays, but you still get the light you want. This is a great way to stay comfortable while lowering energy bills at the same time.
