Replacement Window Placement
Location and Direction
The types of glass that window panes are made of, the materials of the window frames and the overall construction and composition of windows go a long way towards determining their ability to insulate your home from the cold of winter or heat of summer. When deciding which windows to purchase, the hardest information to come by and the most essential to making good financial decisions is about the windows themselves. However, this is not the only element that can affect the heating and cooling of your home.
Temperature Dynamics
The placement of your windows on different walls and sides of your house has a great deal of influence on its temperature dynamics. After all, while windows are made as well as possible to keep cold and hot air on one side or another, they are designed to let light in. Even Low-E windows or special brands will not allow you to have 100% control over the temperature of your home. Therefore, it is important that you understand what arrangements of windows will maximize or minimize heat and cold.
