When it comes to surviving the cold winters of Alberta, especially here in Edmonton and surrounding areas, there’s no room for taking shortcuts. From sub-zero temperatures to winds that can freeze your breath mid-air, winter in our part of the world isn’t for the light-hearted. At Knight Doors and Windows, we understand the challenges of keeping your home warm and comfortable during these extreme conditions. And, with the right window insulation, you can make a difference.
Why Insulation Matters
Good insulation isn’t just about keeping the heat in it’s about creating a barrier against the brutal cold and ensuring your home is energy-efficient. Poorly insulated windows can be one of the biggest culprits of heat loss in your home. If your windows are old or damaged, you could be wasting your heating energy, leading to uncomfortable drafts and hefty energy bills.
At Knight Doors and Windows, we offer a range of high-performance, energy-efficient window solutions that are built to withstand the demands of Alberta’s climate. Whether you’re in downtown Edmonton or the outlying rural areas, our windows are designed to keep the cold out and the warmth in, all while looking great and adding value to your home.
What Makes a Good Insulated Window?
So, what exactly makes a window “insulated”? When we talk about insulating windows, we’re usually referring to double or triple-glazed windows. These windows feature multiple layers of glass, with air or gas trapped between them to create an insulating barrier. This barrier significantly reduces heat transfer, keeping the warmth inside your home where it belongs. Argon Gas increases the window’s insulation value, giving you a warmer barrier between the extremely cold exterior temperatures and the warm interior temperatures.
Some of the key benefits of modern insulated windows include:
- Less warm air escapes, which means your heating system won’t have to work overtime to keep your home at a comfortable temperature.
- Energy-efficient windows can help lower your heating bills, especially in a city like Edmonton, where winter can last up to six months.
- No more cold drafts near your windows.
