What is conduction and how does it affect my windows?
Conduction is the term for heat transfer through solid material. Heat naturally moves from a higher temperature to a lower one. So in the summer, the outdoor heat affects the inside of your home; in winter, the heat inside your home leaks out into the cold outside. It’s like nature trying to balance the scales of hot and cold—except we obviously want to control our own comfort. The best way to avoid heat loss and gain due to conduction is to have double-paned windows with Low-E coatings and a tightly sealed, argon gas barrier. And choose a framing material with high insulating properties, such as FIBREX. Mr. Rogers Windows come standard with double-panes, Low-E4 coatings, and argon gas. You resist conduction, control your comfort, and save money on energy bills.
