Q: What type of window is best for insulation?

• <div><p>The most energy-efficient windows are double&mdash;or triple-pane windows with low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings and gas fills between the panes. These windows reduce heat transfer, prevent drafts, and help maintain a consistent indoor temperature. But if replacing windows isn&rsquo;t in your budget, pairing your existing windows with insulating window treatments can still make a noticeable difference in home comfort and monthly bills. </p></div>

Q: What is the best tint percentage for a house?

• <div><p>The most popular tint percentage for home windows is 35%. Generally, most homeowners choose a visible light transmission (VLT) between 50% and 35%, where lower numbers mean less sunlight enters the home. A 35% tint blocks over half the incoming light while still allowing plenty of natural light, which can improve energy efficiency and comfort. If privacy is a primary concern, you can opt for a tint of 50% or lower to make it more difficult for people to see inside. However, keep in mind that very dark, thick tints may offer fewer energy-efficiency benefits.</p><p>Unlike cars, there are no laws regulating window tint percentages on homes, so you can choose what you think is best. It is often a good idea to hire a professional, as they can show you samples of how different tint levels will look in your specific property, helping you make the right choice.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain tinted windows?

• <div><p>Clean with non-abrasive cleaners and a soft cloth, avoiding ammonia-based products that can degrade the film.</p></div>

Q: What is the best alternative to window screens?

• <div><p>A lace curtain may block some of the biggest insects from entering while still allowing a breeze to get through. If your concern is privacy, then curtains and blinds will provide better privacy than window screens; for UV protection, you can choose specialty windows or UV-blocking film. And if you just want an inexpensive, temporary solution, there are adhesive or magnetic screen panels you can install for an hour, a day, or a season.</p></div>

Q: Which windows should I have tinted?

• <div><p>The best windows to tint are those that get the most direct sunlight&mdash;particularly sunroom windows or windows facing the south or east where the sun shines most brightly throughout the day. If your pets have favorite windows to lie in front of, you may want to consider those, as well, to protect their skin from sun damage.</p></div>

"I contacted the provider about my half moon window that gets the intense west setting sun. Inside the house is the vaulted room that is very hot because of the sun in the later part of the day, also requiring you to wear sunglasses or risk falling in the house because of being blinded from the sun! They were very friendly over the phone and answered all my questions. They came out to measure, and within a week I had my solar screen. Its amazing how much better that room is, cooler, and non-blinding. And the screen even comes with a lifetime warranty!

"Jarrod and Brotherhood roofing are top notch! From the moment I spoke with Jarrod to the last payment, all interactions were amazing! He made me feel comfortable from the on set. He even put a tarp on my roof to make sure I wouldn’t have any leaks where the shingles were missing (I had another company going to door to door that looked at the roof and didn’t offer to do anything) hence why he won me over immediately. You won’t go wrong with Jarrod and Brotherhood roofing."
