3 Things to Consider When Buying a Replacement Window Thermalized Aluminum Windows are best suited for most of the houses located in and around Dallas/FW. J&M Glass manufactures the windows locally so they are made to perfectly suit the weather of the metro.

When you’re in the market to buy a replacement window, we suggest keeping in mind the 3 key points listed below.

Look for insulated frames and sashes: Thermalized windows should be installed with insulated frames and sashes. It can greatly reduce the energy costs of your home by controlling the amount of heat and cold transmitted through the window. The insulation is provided by introducing polyurethane between the aluminum extrusions and intrusions.

The perfect industry specifications: Your new widows should pass strict industry specifications especially pertaining to air percolation: With the proper installation of the windows, air leakage of 25 MPH with wind blowing outside should not exceed 0.375 CFM for each foot of weather stripped window perimeter.

What is the recommended humidity level: The interior humidity level ranges from 15% at -20 degrees F to 40% at +30 degrees. When you want to have energy conservation, the recommended levels should be surpassed which can increase the humidity levels.
