Energy Efficient Doors & Windows

Performance

• The energy-saving performance of doors and windows varies depending on the types of doors or windows you're looking at buying, your area's weather and climate, and how your home is designed. Determine your needs and then look into the individual type of door and window energy performance ratings.

Insulation

• Energy-saving exterior doors are made with a steel skin and a polyurethane foam insulation core. A magnetic strip also provides extra insulation. Glass doors tend to be bad insulators. Modern doors have a plastic thermal break insulator between the door frames.

Cost

• While energy-efficient doors and windows can be pricey to purchase and have installed, over time, the money saved on your energy bill should pay back more than the cost difference.
