The weather in St. Louis can be a bit unpredictable – many observe that it can feel like everyone is experiencing two or three seasons of the year in just the same day. This is not good if you are stuck at home, and your windows are old and inefficient. Fortunately, you can give your home a boost in both comfort and energy efficiency with the ecoSmart 365 window system.
In the second part of the product spotlight series, STL Design and Build, one of the top local home remodeling contractors, discusses how well the ecoSmart 365 window performs in St. Louis’s weather.
One of the most notable facets of the ecoSmart 365 window’s performance is its ability to reduce convection. This process involves warm air flowing up against the cooler window surface. This forces colder air to go toward the ground, with more warm air moving toward the surface. The resulting air movement cycle can feel a lot like a draft, resulting in indoor air matching the same temperature as the outside.
This is prevented by the presence of krypton in between the window’s glass panes. A colorless, odorless and safe inert gas, it helps improve the window’s thermal performance by slowing down convection to ensure comfort. It’s like walking on a pool filled with peanut butter.
For many window replacement companies, window performance can also be determined by how well the frames and sashes can keep everything energy-efficient and comfortable. The ecoSmart 365 window comes with SmartCore foam insulation, which is a pre-expanded, high-density solid polyurethane material that offers maximum energy efficiency compared to windows with a hollow frame.
The SmartCore material is also the same one used for refrigerator and freezer doors. Like them, they keep the cold inside and the heat outside during the summer and vice versa during the winter. Unlike other types of insulation, it also doesn’t settle, which results in the even distribution of the insulating barrier.
The ecoSmart 365 window system truly is designed to perform under the ever-changing St. Louis weather. Aside from these aforementioned, it also features a triple-pane, low-emissivity (low-e) smart glass package and a full-composite reinforcement throughout all sashes and frames for optimal strength.
