Windows replicate the beauty of old Florida While Saving Energy

The New Florida Home replicates the beauty of yesterday with double-hung windows that offer the dual benefits of traditional beauty and exceptional performance. The New Florida Home's windows are four times more airtight than the industry standard, and feature extra weather stripping for energy efficiency and to ensure a tight seal against wind and rain. And, Low-E dual-insulating glass boosts insulation value, while adding protecting against damaging ultraviolet rays.

To protect against decay or damage the New Florida Home windows' aluminum exterior cladding is several times thicker than roll formed aluminum or vinyly cladding. All of the interiors are of natural wood, factory primed and ready to be painted.

Additionally, the windows were shipped from the factory with a protective film coating that protects against damage and structural debris.

Low-E Glass

Low-emittance (Low-E) coating are microscopically thin, virtually invisible, metal or metallic oxide layers deposited on a window or skylight glazing surface primarily to reduce the U-factor by suppressing radiative heat flow.

The principal mechanism of heat transfer in multilayer glazing is thermal radiation from a warm pane of glass to a cooler pane. Coating a glass surface with a low-emittance material and facing that coating into the gap between the glass layers blocks a significant amount of this radiant heat transfer, thus lowering the total heat flow through the window.

Low-E coatings are transparent to visible light. Different types of Low-E coatings have been designed to allow for high solar gain, moderate solar gain, or low solar gain.
