According to the Article Company, searching for the right replacement windows can be challenging, and considering the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) is one factor that can help consumers find the windows that will best suit their needs.
The Efficient Windows Collaborative (EWC) describes SHGC on its Website as the fraction of incident solar radiation admitted through a window, both directly transmitted and absorbed and subsequently released inward. SHGC is expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The lower a window's solar heat gain coefficient, the less solar heat it transmits.
EWC goes on to explain that SHGC measures how well a window prevents heat from entering your house. It includes the heat directly transmitted through the window, as well as the heat that is absorbed by the window and later transmitted into the home. Basically, it measures a window's shading ability.

Hey! Keep it up! I will be looking forward to visit your page again and for your other posts as well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about replacement window in your area. I'm glad to stop by your site and know more about replacement window. This is a good read.
ReplyDeleteNew-construction windows of recent vintage typically have a "nailing fin" along the outer frame. This fin provides a surface so that the window can be nailed in from the outside of the home before the application of flashing, siding or brick and stone veneers. Most replacement windows are manufactured without this fin so that they can be installed with minimal disruption to the existing trim, siding, sheetrock or exterior veneer.
Consider the value in updating your home with replacement windows.
