Which Window Is Best For the DC Metro Area?

Not all window materials are perfect for every environment. In the arid hot climate of the Southwest, for example, aluminum windows are the material of choice, whereas here in the Mid-Atlantic, vinyl, fiberglass and wood windows are the most popular. Some of this has to do with the region's building codes, and sometimes with the material's property. Aluminum, for example, conducts heat and cold and so not a wise choice for someone who wants to keep their home cool in the summer's scorching heat and hot during winters blustery storms.

Of course, figuring out the specific materials to use also depends on your home's architecture and your family's lifsetyle. That's why your best bet for choosing the perfect window for your home is to visit one of our three showrooms to discuss your needs with one of The Window Man's sales consultants.

Energy Star Windows

Because The Window Man is a partner in the Department of Energy's Energy Star Program many of our windows and doors carry the Energy Star label. The Energy Star label ensures you’ll enjoy a sizeable savings in your heating and cooling costs—while helping save our precious planet.

Experts estimate that 40% of a home owner’s annual energy budget is dedicated to heating and cooling costs. Choosing the right window, door or skylight to seal in heat in winter and cool air in summer means less wasted energy and reduced costs.

Energy Star labeled windows, doors and skylights are twice as efficient as the average windows manufactured just ten years ago. Visit The Window Man’s Virginia showrooms today to talk about how Energy Star windows, doors and skylights can help your home become more efficient.

Optimum Windows

If you're looking for replacement windows for your Northern Virginia, DC or Maryland home, you may want to consider The Window Man's Optimum fire rated windows. In lab tests, Optimum's steel double and single hung windows can withstand temperatures over 1650 degrees F. Optimum is so strong that even after 45 minutes of exposure to fire all individual components remain in place. Plus, each of Optimum's windows have two fusible link components made of slow melting alloy. When the windows are exposed to 165 degrees or more, these links melt and seal the window, preventing the spread of smoke and fire to nearby buildings.

For safety and durability, the Optimum Series
SC7650 is a wise choice for any homeowner.

Contact The Window Man today for more information about Optimum
SC7650 and other replacement windows.
