Earthwise Windows – Benefits
Earthwise vinyl windows are made to help you conserve energy and reduce heating and cooling costs. Because they block up to 75% of ultraviolet light hitting the windows, these windows make your carpets, drapes, and furniture more resistant to fading. Vinyl is an excellent insulator, and Earthwise windows are specially designed with insulating air chambers, making them an even more effective insulator. An added benefit of well-insulating windows is that they minimize sound transmission. If you live in the city, near train tracks, or on a busy street, this can be a great side benefit.
Thermoses and insulating clothing work because of air trapped in the spaces between layers of materials. But Earthwise windows take insulating a step further by insulating the space between the panes with Argon gas. Argon is six times as dense as regular air and therefore has low thermal conductivity. One of the noble gases, Argon is odorless, colorless, non-toxic, and monatomic, with low reactivity. It is the most abundant of the noble gases (which include Neon, Helium, Xenon, Radon, and Krypton) and therefore cost effective for uses like Earthwise’s use of Argon in thermal windows.
