The One Question You Must Ask Before Buying New Windows

One of the biggest ratings homeowners neglected to ask their replacement window representative is, “What is the air infiltration rating of the window?”
The fact of the matter is thousands of homeowners each year replace their current windows with “new” windows that leak just as much. In the end they are not happy because their problem is not solved. By asking two simple questions you will know what windows ‘leak’ the least. Everything with moving parts leaks to a degree. When replacing your existing windows with ‘new’ more energy efficient windows, you want the window that leaks the least. Here are the two questions to ask;
1. ”What is the air infiltration rating of your window?”
2. ”Is that rating supported by the AAMA?”
If, the window’s air infiltration rating is supported by the AAMA (a independent governmental testing lab) you know the information you are getting is accurate and that the windows being installed in your home will match the information you told.
Windows made by Okna Windows & Door company are among the finest available in the U.S., and there are many advantages to choosing one or more of the OKNA types of windows for homes and commercial properties.

• Every OKNA window meets or exceeds Energy Star®, AAMA (American Architectural Manufacturers Association) and NFRC (National Fenestration Rating Council) energy performance standards. “OKNA windows spacers insulate the edge of the glass better than solid foam or metal spacers…warmer glass makes you feel more comfortable while using less energy.” The window spacers improve the total U-Value for your windows, reducing energy loss.
• “The OKNA window warranty is one of the strongest in the business. It covers the windows for the life of the (home)owner and is completely transferable,” says Replacement Windows Reviews. “It’s a single-page warranty that you can actually read, instead of some 3-page, tiny-print warranty.”
• “OKNA vinyl windows sit at the very top of the rather large vinyl window industry,” continues the Replacement Windows Review. Although OKNA’s types of windows are very much in demand, their individual customer support remains consistently dependable.
