If you have been considering upgrading your home’s windows,
you may have noticed that there are a great variety of replacement window
options. Perhaps you have taken the time
to visit the showroom of a company that specializes in replacement
windows. If you did, one of the first
things you probably noticed is that every window you were shown had a label affixed to it containing information about
U-Factor, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, and Visible Transmittance. The label might as well have been written in hieroglyphics for all the good
it did you. As a result, you may have
left the showroom more confused about replacement windows than you were before you set foot in the
store. To help you navigate your way to
choosing the right windows for your home, I have taken the time to help you
decode the information presented on window labels.
