THINGS TO CONSIDER
When choosing windows for their energy efficiency, it is important to select a glass package that meets the performance requirements for your climate zone. As such, all of Grandura’s innovative glass packages offer exceptional energy efficiency and are designed to accommodate the particular needs of homeowners throughout the United States.
*Annual energy costs are based on the national average for a 2000 square-foot, single-story home with 300 square feet of vinyl-framed windows, equally distributed on all four elevations. Energy costs are calculated using Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory’s Window 5.0 thermal analysis program and NFRC approved spectral data and environmental conditions. Actual costs and savings may vary.
