Innovations in Windows

Spring is here! While you want to throw open the curtains and let the sun shine in, you're probably distracted by your old, dirty windows.

Now is the perfect time to replace your windows. These days there are so many new innovations available that not only make windows more energy efficient, but also make them easier to clean and enhance the look of your home!

One of the most exciting new window features is tilt-in technology. Styles include panes that open in, out, vertically, or horizontally. There are even models specifically designed for basements! These windows are so easy to clean and they look great, too.

If you think tilt-ins are cool, check out integrated blinds! The miniblinds are actually inside the window, between two panes of glass. They are modern and sleek and you never have to dust blinds again. You can get integrated blinds inside patio doors as well so you don't have to worry about them getting in the way as you open and close the door.

Even window glass itself is using state-of-the-art technology. New coatings actually keep dirt and grime from sticking to the window. This makes them virtually self-cleaning. It's like Teflon for your windows! The latest in window construction technology includes foam-filled frames and triple weather stripping. These features help reduce drafts and energy use, as well as reduce external noise. Noise reduction is the #1 reason customers buy our windows.

One of the most important features of new windows is proper installation. If windows aren't installed properly, you can experience such problems as leaks, drafts, and exterior noise. At GreenHomes we don't just replace your windows, we also thoroughly air seal and insulate them to ensure you get the maximum benefit out of your new windows.
