Window Efficiency
The door to door salesmen are out in force today. 2 different guys stopped by asking if I wanted a quote on a new roof and windows.
One guy said their windows are filled with krypton gas. I haven't researched this yet, but is this the preferred gas these days? How does the window retain the gas for so many years considering tires leak air all the time.
The spacers/seals on my south-facing windows have cracked and let minor amounts of moisture in, which is visually unpleasant, but I'm wondering how much energy I might be loosing through them? Is the loss of the inert gas significant enough to be concerned? The sales brochure says the spacers they use are made of HPH. No idea what that is, but I'm wondering how it holds up to sunlight over the years?
Anything else I should know about windows?
