Upgrading Aluminum-Frame Windows for Efficiency in Fort Lupton

Older aluminum-frame windows are common in Colorado homes built decades ago. Aluminum conducts heat and cold readily, so these windows tend to feel cold in winter, collect condensation, and let conditioned air escape.

The homeowner wanted windows that would hold up better through Colorado's temperature swings. Aloha replaced the aluminum units with Simonton Daylight Max vinyl windows, including the large sliding window at the front of the home and a basement window at ground level.

Vinyl frames with insulated glass cut heat transfer substantially compared with uninsulated aluminum, which keeps rooms more comfortable and reduces the load on heating and cooling.
