Q: Why do basements have windows?

• <div><p>Basements are generally required to have windows for your safety. At a minimum, windows should provide an egress in the event of a fire. But basement windows do more than offer a way out; basement windows also offer natural light and ventilation in an area of your home that is otherwise dark and musty.</p></div>

Q: Are soundproof windows energy efficient?

• <div><p>Soundproof windows can be energy efficient, depending on the window type and manufacturer. Overall, triple-pane windows are more energy efficient than double-pane windows. However, according to the <a href="https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/guide_to_energy_efficient_windows.pdf">U.S. Department of Energy</a>, a window&rsquo;s energy-efficiency level is determined by multiple factors, including the frame material, if there&rsquo;s any low-emissivity (low-E) glass, and the addition of spacers.</p></div>

Q: What is the frame around a window called?

• <div><p>The material around a window is simply called the window frame, but the individual pieces also have different names. The top portion of the frame is called the head, the side pieces are called jambs, and the bottom portion is called the sill. If you have multiple windows next to each other, you&rsquo;ll also have a mullion, which is the frame piece that separates the individual windows. Windows stacked on top of each other are separated by a horizontal frame piece, which is called a transom. </p></div>

Q: What is the best way to clean windows myself?

• <div><p>The best way to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/clean-outside-windows.htm">clean outside windows</a> is by using a garden hose. Start by spraying the windows with a high-pressure stream to clear off loose dirt and grime. Then use a mixture of hot water and dish soap and scrub the windows with a sponge. Rinse off the soapy water with the hose. Before you finish up, spray the windows with a solution of vinegar and water and wipe them down with a microfiber cloth.</p></div>

Q: Will impact windows reduce my home insurance premium?

• <div><p>It depends on the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-get-know-your-homeowners-insurance.htm">insurance company policy</a>, but many companies will offer a discounted rate if you install impact or hurricane windows as they reduce the chance of damage to your home. If you are interested in this perk, make sure to discuss it with your insurance company, as they will likely need your windows to meet certain standards, such as those set by the American Society for Testing and Materials.</p></div>

Windows questions, answered by experts

Basements are generally required to have windows for your safety. At a minimum, windows should provide an egress in the event of a fire.

Soundproof windows can be energy efficient, depending on the window type and manufacturer. Overall, triple-pane windows are more energy efficient than double-pane windows. However, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, a window’s energy-efficiency level is determined by multiple factors, including the frame material, if there’s any low-emissivity (low-E) glass, and the addition of spacers.
