Monumental Window and Doors

Energy efficiency

Energy efficiency is a crucial component of sustainable window and door design. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, inefficient windows, skylights, and doors account for up to 25% of the average household’s energy bills. Some sources estimate up to 40%. Upgrading to high performance windows reduces your heating and cooling costs, saving you money on your electric bills in the long run. Additionally, there is less stress on your mechanical equipment to heat or cool your living spaces, saving you even more money on repairs and maintenance.

High-Performance Windows

High-performance windows such as theirs are capable of exceeding average energy-efficiency standards by way of quality and sustainable design. To complement thermal breaks created by their dual-glazed glass, their windows also benefit from an aluminum construction. Aluminum is long-lasting and durable, resistant to warping and shrinking common in other building materials.

Sustainability

Aluminum is considered the safest and “greenest” building material on the market. Homeowners interested in eco-friendly windows and doors should consider the entire lifecycle of the product, further examining its overarching effects on the environment. This includes observing the manufacturing process, up through its serviceable life, and into what happens to it when it is removed from our homes.
