How have your windows stood up to the Colorado winter so far? If you’re tired of dealing with drafts and higher heating bills, it could be time to replace your windows. Not sure what replacements to go for? Check out five reasons to choose Quantum 2 windows.

Quantum 2 Windows Improve Indoor Temperature

Let’s face it: glass makes a poor insulator. However, with foam-filled frames and sashes, air-tight construction, reinforced interlocks, and dual weatherstripping, Quantum 2 windows achieve an impressive insulating value of R-5.6. This improved insulating capability keeps your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer for energy savings you can count on.

Quantum 2 Windows Reduce Condensation

Temperature and humidity differences between the inside and outside of your home often lead to window condensation. The better a window is at insulating your home, the less likely it is to “sweat” from water forming on the surface. Quantum 2 windows have an excellent ability to insulate, which helps reduce the chance of condensation.

Quantum 2 Windows Reduce Sound Transfer

You don’t want the noise of traffic and the neighborhood kids playing outside to permeate your home. That’s where reduced sound transfer from Quantum 2 windows comes in handy. How can just two panes of glass and one piece of film help keep sound out? It comes down to the different thicknesses of these materials, which scatters sound waves and reduces the amount of noise passing into your home from the outside.

Quantum 2 Windows Block UV Rays

There are two problems with UV rays streaming through your windows. First, UV rays transfer heat from the summer sun into the interior, which increases heat gain and sends your energy bills soaring. Second, UV rays fade the color from your carpet, upholstery and wallpaper. By blocking 99.5% of UV rays, Quantum 2 windows lower home cooling costs and help preserve the color of your furnishings.

Quantum 2 Windows Save You Money

When you think about the cost of a Quantum 2 window installation, you need to think beyond the upfront cost and focus instead on the value of your investment. For instance, if you purchase 10 cheap windows, you could end up losing more than $700 over the course of 10 years from paying higher energy bills and seeing a lower return on investment if you sell your home.

Compare this to installing 10 quality Quantum 2 windows, which could garner a return of more than $6,000 after 10 years in use. Clearly, even though high-quality windows cost more upfront, their lifetime value is much higher than cheap windows.
