Penguin Windows ranks as the 7th largest window replacement company in the United States. Since the company launched in 1984, it has been providing exceptional service and high-quality replacement windows. These windows are guaranteed to make a home safer and more energy efficient.
What set Penguin Windows apart is its many features that other replacement windows do not offer. Matched with installation from certified InstallationMasters installers, financing options and a lifetime warranty, Penguin Windows' features are bar none.
Exceptional features include: three pane windows, the use of krypton gas, UV protection and all-around energy efficiency.
Three Pane Windows
In terms of energy efficiency, triple-pane windows are the way to go. This type of windows keeps out cold or hot temperatures to keep the inside of your home at the temperature that you want.
Triple-paned, also referred to as "triple glazed", windows are more expensive and heavier than traditional double-paned windows. When installed properly, they can help homeowners save up to 30 percent on heating and cooling bills.
Use of Krypton Gas
Years ago, it was discovered that putting air between the panes of a window reduces heat loss. After this discovery, engineers realized that using special types of gas can make the reduction of loss even greater.
Penguin Windows uses Krypton gas which is a nontoxic, nonreactive, clear and odorless gas. While most other companies use Argon, a gas that is 35 percent denser than air, Krypton gas is 185 percent denser than air and 105 percent denser than Argon.
UV Protection
Penguin Windows uses a "soft coating" UV blocker for the inside of glass panes, plus the dense Krypton gas to help protect homeowners and their homes from damaging UV rays.
Windows from Penguin Windows block 93 percent of UV rays and 96 percent of the heat.
With these three amazing features, Penguin Windows can be a great addition for the eco-friendly homeowner.
