Winter is Coming. Is Your Home Ready?
If you’re a Wisconsin homeowner, you know how brutal winter can be. Between icy winds and freezing temperatures, your windows become more than just a view to the outside; they’re your first defense against energy loss. Upgrading to energy-efficient windows for winter in Wisconsin is one of the most important steps to improve comfort, reduce heating costs, and protect your home from harsh winters.
Here’s what to consider when evaluating new windows before the cold settles in.
Look for Advanced Glass Technology
The glass in your windows plays a critical role in energy performance. Choose windows with Low-E coatings that reflect indoor heat into your home while allowing natural light to pass through. This reduces heat loss and helps lower your heating bills.
Tip: Our SmartSun™ Low-E glass offers maximum energy efficiency without compromising on clarity or brightness.
Double or Triple-Pane Insulation Matters
In Wisconsin’s climate, single-pane windows are not enough. Instead, opt for double or triple-pane glass with argon or krypton gas fills between layers. These inert gases add extra insulation, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Tip: The more panes and insulation, the better your window can resist extreme temperature changes.
Choose Insulating Frames
The material of your window frame impacts how much heat is lost. Old aluminum frames can easily transfer cold, creating drafts. Our Fibrex® composite frames offer superior thermal performance and maintain durability over time, even through freezing and thawing cycles.
Check for Air-Tight Installation
High-quality, energy-efficient windows won’t do much good if they’re installed poorly. Ensure your new windows come with expert installation and proper weatherstripping to eliminate gaps where cold air can seep in.
