A Clear Choice: How to Select the Right Window Glass for Your Arizona Home

6/10/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
In a place like Prescott, where sunny skies meet cool mountain air, your windows play a big role in your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, safety and resale value. At Triple E Construction, we believe choosing the right window glass is just as important as choosing the right frame—and we’re here to help you get it right. Pella offers a vast array of options when it comes to optimizing window glass for your region. Let’s take a look at what makes sense for Arizona's climate and your home.

Climate Matters: What Works in Arizona?
Prescott is unique—it experiences both sunny, hot summers and cooler, brisk winters. This means your windows need to be versatile. Here’s what to prioritize:
  • Low Solar Heat Gain: Choose glass that limits how much heat enters your home. This keeps your cooling costs down during the intense summer months.
  • High Insulation Value: During winter, insulated glass helps retain warmth, keeping your space more comfortable without cranking up the heat.
 
The Power of Energy-Efficient Glass
Modern windows go far beyond single-pane solutions. Here are the top-performing options:
  • Double and Triple-Pane Glass: Multiple layers of glass create thermal barriers, especially when filled with inert gases like argon. This boosts insulation year-round.
  • Low-E Coating: A nearly invisible coating that reflects infrared light, keeping heat where it belongs—out in the summer and in during the winter. Low-E coatings also protect your furniture and flooring from sun fading.

Window Glass Options That Make a Difference in AZ
Depending on your priorities—whether it’s safety, privacy, or UV protection—there’s a specialized glass for the job. Here are the most popular Pella glass options for Arizona homeowners:

Sun-Deflecting Low-E Glass
Perfect for high-sun exposure, this glass reduces solar gain without blocking natural light. You’ll stay cool indoors without sacrificing those big, beautiful views.

Tempered Glass
Four times stronger than standard glass, tempered glass is a must for areas near doors, tubs, or staircases. If broken, it shatters into small, blunt pieces—reducing injury risk.

Sound Control Glass
Prescott isn’t noisy like a big city, but if you live near a busy road, park, or school, sound control glass can help dampen sound and increase tranquility. This is achieved by combining different thicknesses of glass to deflect sound waves to limit the amount of sound transmitted.

Tinted Glass
Reduce glare, improve privacy, and cut heat with tinted options in gray, bronze, or green. This is a practical choice for rooms with high sun exposure.
​

Obscure Glass
Want privacy in a bathroom or entryway without blocking sunlight? Obscure glass offers decorative textures that blur the view but still let in natural light.
 
Elevation-Specific Needs
Prescott sits at over 5,000 feet in elevation. Not all windows are created for high-altitude conditions—but at Triple E, we install Pella windows designed to withstand changes in air pressure, preventing seal failures and fogging between panes.
Trust Triple E - the Local Pella Window Experts
Choosing the right replacement windows is about more than checking boxes, it’s about matching your windows to the way you live—your climate, your comfort, and your goals for your home. At Triple E Construction, we specialize in Pella window installation and customized remodeling work that takes Arizona’s unique conditions into account.

FAQ’s About Energy-EfFicient Windows & Patio Doors for Your Arizona Home

4/7/2025

Picture
Maximizing energy efficiency in your home starts with the right windows and patio doors. In Prescott’s extreme climate—scorching summers and chilly winters—your choice of windows and doors plays a crucial role in maintaining indoor comfort and reducing energy costs. But with so many features available, how do you know which options are best for your home?
​
At Triple E Construction, we specialize in helping homeowners choose the most effective energy-saving upgrades. Whether you’re wondering about heat-reflective glass, gas-filled panes, or frame materials, we are here to answer your questions about improving efficiency with Pella high-performance windows and patio doors.
What does energy efficiency mean for windows and patio doors?
Energy-efficient windows and patio doors are designed to reduce heat transfer, keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. They achieve this through:
✔ Low-E (Low Emissivity) Glass – Reflects heat while letting in natural light
✔ Argon or Krypton Gas Fills – Provides insulation between panes to minimize heat loss
✔ Multi-Pane Construction – Double- or triple-pane glass enhances energy performance
✔ Insulated Frames – Materials like vinyl, fiberglass, and composite prevent heat transfer
By reducing the strain on your heating and cooling systems, energy-efficient windows and patio doors lower utility bills, improve indoor comfort, and help reduce your carbon footprint.
 
How do I know if a window or door is energy efficient?
To identify energy-efficient windows and patio doors, look for an ENERGY STAR® certification and check the NFRC label, which rates:
·       U-Factor (insulation)
·       Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (heat resistance)
·       Visible Transmittance (natural light)
Choosing the right combination helps keep your home comfortable while lowering energy costs.
 
How much can energy efficient windows and patio doors save on utility bills?
The exact savings depend on your home’s insulation, the number of windows, and the climate. However, ENERGY STAR®-certified windows and patio doors can reduce energy bills by up to 13% on average, according to the U.S. Department of Energy1. Over time, these savings add up, making energy-efficient upgrades a smart investment.
 
Do energy efficient windows help with noise reduction?
Yes! High-performance windows with multiple panes and insulated gas fills significantly reduce outside noise. If you live near a busy road, a school, or a high-traffic area, upgrading to energy-efficient windows can make your home noticeably quieter.
 
Is it better to replace all windows at once or one at a time?
This depends on your budget and the condition of your existing windows. While replacing all windows and patio doors at once provides maximum energy efficiency and aesthetic consistency, many homeowners opt for staged replacements, starting with the worst-performing ones first. At Triple E Construction, we help you prioritize replacements based on your home’s specific needs and budget.
 
What’s the best window frame material for energy efficiency?
The most energy-efficient window frame materials include:
✔ Vinyl – Low maintenance and excellent insulation
✔ Fiberglass – Extremely durable, resists temperature changes
✔ Wood with Aluminum Cladding – Classic beauty with extra protection
Each material has unique benefits, and we help determine the best option based on Prescott’s climate and your home’s needs.

Do I need special windows for Arizona’s climate?
Absolutely! Prescott’s hot summers and chilly winters mean you need windows that balance heat reflection and insulation. The best choices include:
✔ Low-E glass with a low Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) to block excess heat
✔ Argon-filled, double-pane windows to provide insulation in the winter
✔ Fiberglass or vinyl frames that resist heat warping
Our team will always ensure you get the best windows and patio doors for year-round comfort.
 
Are sliding patio doors energy efficient?
Yes! Sliding glass doors can be energy-efficient when they include:
✔ Double or triple-pane glass for better insulation
✔ Low-E coatings to reduce heat transfer
✔ Insulated frames to prevent drafts and improve efficiency
Proper installation is key in patio door performance. Triple E’s superior installation method ensures a tight seal to prevent energy loss.
 
How long does window or patio door installation take?
A typical window installation takes 1–2 hours per window, and a full-home replacement can often be completed in 1–2 days. For patio doors, installation time varies based on the style (sliding vs. hinged) and customization needs. At Triple E Construction, we work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring a perfect installation.
 
Are there rebates or incentives for energy efficient windows and patio doors?
Yes! Many homeowners qualify for federal tax credits and local utility rebates when upgrading to ENERGY STAR®-rated windows and patio doors. The Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit offers a tax credit of up to 30% of the cost for qualifying energy-efficient improvements, including windows and patio doors, with a maximum of $600 for windows and $500 for doors.

To check eligibility and details, visit the IRS website: irs.gov. Additionally, local utility companies and state programs may offer rebates for energy-efficient upgrades. To find incentives available in your area, visit the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE): dsireusa.org.
 
When is the best time to replace windows and patio doors?
While spring and fall are popular seasons for replacements, we install windows and patio doors year-round. In Prescott’s climate, winter installations are also a great option, as modern techniques ensure minimal heat loss during installation.
 
If you’re considering upgrading your home with energy-efficient windows and patio doors, Triple E Construction is here to help. We provide:
·       Expert guidance to find the best energy-saving solutions.
·       High-quality Pella® products built for Arizona’s climate.
·       Professional installation that guarantees long-term performance.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Windows?  A Guide for Prescott Homeowners

2/13/2025

0 Comments

 
As a homeowner, you regularly face the decision of whether to repair or replace various aspects of your home. Windows are no exception. Over time, they can suffer from wear and tear, damage, or inefficiencies that impact your home’s comfort and energy use. But how do you determine if a window problem requires a simple repair or a complete replacement?
​
Understanding the condition of your windows is the first step. Some issues can be resolved with minor fixes, while others signal the need for new, energy-efficient windows. Let’s explore common window problems, potential repair solutions, and when replacement is the best option.
Picture
Common Window Issues That Can Be Repaired
Before jumping into a full replacement, it’s worth assessing whether a repair could restore your window’s function. Here are some frequent issues that may have simple fixes:
​
  • Broken Window Panes: A broken or cracked window pane is an obvious problem that needs immediate attention. It can compromise your home’s insulation, safety, and energy efficiency. In some cases, you may be able to replace just the glass rather than the entire window. However, if the glazing is outdated or if the frame is also damaged, a full replacement might be necessary.
 
  • Windows That Won’t Open or Close Properly: If your windows are sticking, jamming, or refusing to stay open, the problem could stem from dirt buildup, warped tracks, or malfunctioning hardware. Cleaning the tracks and lubricating the mechanisms often solves the issue. If not, replacing faulty parts like cranks, locks, or sashes may be enough to restore function.
 
  • Drafty Windows: Drafts can lead to increased energy bills and reduced home comfort. If you notice cold air seeping in, inspect the weatherstripping and caulking around the window frame. These materials wear down over time but are inexpensive and easy to replace. However, if drafts persist despite new seals, your windows may have structural issues requiring replacement.
 
  • Water Leaks Around Windows: Water damage around windows can indicate gaps in the caulking or issues with exterior elements like gutters or flashing. If the leak is minor, resealing the frame or addressing exterior drainage issues might fix it. However, if water is infiltrating through the window itself, replacement may be the best long-term solution.
 
  • Foggy Windows: Condensation between panes of double- or triple-pane windows suggests a seal failure. This means the insulating gas has escaped, reducing energy efficiency. While some window manufacturers offer pane replacement, in many cases, a full window replacement is the best solution to restore insulation and clarity.
Picture
When Window Replacement Is the Best Choice
While some problems are fixable, others indicate it’s time for new windows. Here are key signs that replacement windows are your best option:

  • Windows Are Over 20 Years Old: Older windows often lack the insulation and energy-efficient technology of modern designs. If your windows are aging and showing signs of decline, replacing them with high-performance options can enhance comfort and lower energy bills.
 
  • Rising Energy Bills: Poor insulation from aging windows allows heat to escape in winter and enter in summer, causing your HVAC system to work harder. Upgrading to energy-efficient windows, such as ENERGY STAR®-certified models, can lead to significant savings on heating and cooling costs.
 
  • Frequent Repairs: If you find yourself repeatedly fixing jammed sashes, reapplying caulking, or replacing glass panes, the cost of ongoing repairs can add up. Investing in new windows eliminates the need for frequent maintenance and provides long-term durability.
 
  • Poor Curb Appeal and Functionality: Windows significantly impact your home’s appearance. If they’re outdated, damaged, or don’t fit your style, replacing them can enhance your home’s beauty, increase its value, and improve functionality. New windows offer better views, improved ventilation, and smoother operation.
 
Choosing the Right Replacement Windows
When replacing your windows, consider energy efficiency, durability, and aesthetics. In Prescott’s climate, where summers are hot, and winters can be chilly, it’s important to choose windows with excellent insulation properties.
At Triple E Construction, we offer high-quality Pella windows designed to withstand Arizona’s temperature extremes while enhancing your home’s beauty and efficiency. Our team can help you select the perfect windows that fit your budget and needs.

Essential Window and Door Buying Guide for 2025

1/22/2025

​When it comes to home improvement, replacing your windows and doors is one of the most effective upgrades you can make. Not only do they influence your home’s energy efficiency and comfort, but they also define its aesthetic appeal. But with so many options available today, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why we’ve refreshed and simplified our window and door buying guide for 2025. Whether you're looking for inspiration, exploring materials, or searching for the right contractor, we’re here to make the process seamless and stress-free.
Picture
Start Your Window Replacement Process with a Little Inspiration
First, it is helpful to do a bit of inspirational research to better understand what you like and don’t like. Here we’ve put together some inspiration and design tips for window replacements to get you started.

Begin the Research Process
Once you're inspired, it's time to begin the research process. This step is critical as it ensures you select the right windows for your home. Pella has a wide variety of window styles and materials to choose from and one of the best product warranties on the market. As you begin your research, familiarize yourself with common window terms, such as:
  • Sash: This is the framework that sits inside the frame and holds the glass. It can be operable or stationary.
  • Single Hung: Has one operable sash.
  • Double Hung: Also commonly known as double sash window, it has two operable sashes that can slide up and down.
  • Single Pane: Has one single layer of glass.
  • Double Pane: Also known as double-glazed or dual-paned, it has two glass panes. Some may be insulated with argon gas for better insulation and some may not.
  • Triple Pane: Has three sheets of glass with argon gas between each layer.
  • Mullion: These are the vertical pieces of wood separating the panes of glass.
  • Grille: Mainly used for aesthetics these strips of metal, vinyl or wood are placed between the window panes to visually separate the glass into window panes.
 
In addition to terminology, it's beneficial to understand your window installation options. There are two primary installation options:
  • Full-Frame Replacement:  This involves removing the entire window, including the frame and sashes before installing the new window.
  • Pocket Replacement:  This involves replacing only the window sash and leaving the existing frame in place.
 
The installation option you choose will depend on several factors, including the age and condition of your current windows, your budget, and your preferences. We recommend talking to a Pella Certified Window Contractor about which installation method would be best for your window replacement project.

Now it's time to select the replacement windows material to fit your lifestyle. Choosing the right window frame material ensures optimal performance and longevity. Here are three popular materials and their benefits:
  • Wood: Offers low maintenance, durability, energy efficiency, and beauty.
  • Fiberglass: Resists warping, dents, and rot. This material requires minimal maintenance, performs reliably year-round, and withstands extreme weather and UV rays. It’s a favorite for homes in Northern Arizona.
  • Vinyl: Withstands weathering effects while providing energy efficiency and easy care. Vinyl designs are strong and durable, preventing sagging, warping, and bowing over time.

Set Your Window Replacement Budget
Once you've completed your research and determined the type of window you prefer, it's time to set your window replacement budget. Window prices vary depending on the material, size, and style you choose. While it may be tempting to choose the most affordable option, keep in mind that quality windows are an investment in your home. Higher quality windows may cost more upfront but can save you money in the long run, on energy bills and maintenance costs.
 
Schedule Your In-Home Consultation
After you've set your window replacement budget, it's time to schedule an in-home consultation with a Pella Certified Contractor. During this consultation, a contractor will assess your current windows and provide recommendations for the best replacement windows for your area. They will also provide a quote for your new windows, the installation, and any additional services needed.

​Choosing the right windows and doors doesn’t have to be complicated. By staying informed about the latest trends, materials, and installation methods, you’ll be well-equipped to make decisions that enhance your home’s comfort, beauty, and value. At Triple E Construction, we’re here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring a stress-free process and exceptional results. Ready to get started?

Signs it’s Time to Replace Your Windows and Doors

​Here in the central highlands of Arizona, we homeowners have unique requirements for our windows and doors. We’re not as hot as the Phoenix valley, yet the sun’s high UV intensity still wreaks havoc on our homes. We don’t get as much snow and cold as the highest elevations, but it gets cold. These massive temperature swings will cause window and door seals to expand and contract – which causes problems over time. So, how do you know when it’s time to replace your windows or doors? We put together a guide to help you determine if replacing your windows and doors should be at the top of your remodeling project list.

  • Drafts can be felt coming in, even when your windows or doors are closed.  
  • There is condensation or fogging between the layers of glass.

2.Dish Soap: A few drops of Dawn dish soap can help remove tough grime, especially when cleaning the exterior of your windows.
 
3.Essential Oils: Add a drop or two of your favorite essential oil for a fresher-smelling result. Lemon essential oil is one of the top choices for a clean and cheerful aroma.
 
Pro Tip: If you choose to buy your window cleaner avoid cleaners heavy in ammonia or alcohol to prevent streaks and a thin film attracting dust and moisture.
