ENERGY STAR WINDOW FEATURES

ENERGY STAR-certified windows prioritize energy efficiency. Scheel high-efficiency windows are manufactured with the following features to maximize performance and energy savings:

  • Double- or triple-glazing with a sealed insulating glass unit
  • Low-e glass
  • Inert gas (argon or krypton) in the sealed unit
  • Low-conductivity or “warm edge” spacer bars

Energy-efficient windows make homes more comfortable in cold weather and hot temperatures alike, save you money as a homeowner, and help the planet by slowing greenhouse gas emissions.
