Energy Efficient California Windows Let Sun in, Keep Elements Out

The combination of casement and sliding windows in this California building provides for bright, wide views, abundant sunlight, and the benefits of side breezes when they're open. The window installation of this featured set can be easily completed in a day by a qualified professional installer.

The use of energy-efficient multiple panes and insulating gas interiors helps cut utility costs. In many parts of California, your replacement windows can remain open through much of three seasons. eCoatings can help curb energy costs in areas of California with extreme heat in the summer.

Wide casements and molding make for a nice window seat or study area that everyone can use. You can modify the window sections by putting in double-hung replacement windows instead of casements, for example. It's a flexible solution for protection against the California heat or chilly fog along the coast in the summer, or against mountain blizzards in the winter.
