Faulty, leaking, windows can be frustrating, both financially and lack energy efficiency. Windows that let drafts in, cause cold spots, collect condensation, dampness, and mould, usually don’t offer enough defense against noise pollution.

The term ‘thermally broken’ is used in the window and door manufacturing industry to describe a window’s construction. It means that you manufacture the aluminum frame to have an interior and exterior side joined by barrier. The barrier helps inhibit conductive thermal energy loss.
Technological advances in insulated glass units, or IGU’s, have made a compelling case to upgrade your home’s first generation windows. If you care about your home’s indoor temperature and energy efficiency, you might want to think about how your windows are performing.
