Windows with a Wow Factor
Windows might seem like a lower priority than other home remodeling projects, but did you know you can be bold and save money with new windows? Two emerging window trends of 2022 are energy efficient windows and dark or black frames to compliment your home.
Energy Efficiency is Key
Energy efficiency and green building is all the rage right now—to lessen your carbon footprint and your heating and cooling bills, invest in energy efficient windows for your home.
To find out what each window’s glass efficiency features include, look for an ENERGY STAR sticker with U-value (heat loss resistance) and Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (heat transfer measurement) ratings. The lower the number, the better the energy efficiency.
Black is Back
One of the most popular window trends for 2022 is the continuance of painted window frames. Regardless of what type of neighborhood you live in, new and old homes are jumping on the bandwagon on dark trim with neutral siding to create a timeless exterior design.
