Superior Performance Windows

Although you have many options when it comes to replacing the windows in your home, we also know that you want to make the best decision for you and your family. With this in mind, we provide you with the most up-to-date technical information available so that you can make an educated purchasing decision.

Sunrise Windows Are Made to Insulate

There are many different types of materials and glass that are used in the manufacturing of windows...some that will significantly improve insulation values, and others that may not even be as good as the windows you are replacing. With Sunrise, you can be assured we are using the highest quality and best insulating materials in our products.

You will truly be insulated from the cold of winter and heat of summer.

The R-Factor in window construction refers to the level of insulation that a window has. Both frame materials and glass have R-Factor ratings. The higher the R-Factor, the better the insulation.

Sunrise has an amazing 7.14 R-Factor rating on our frame materials, and a 10.0 R-Factor rating on our Omega-12 glass.

Sunrise Windows' Glass Works For You

The only way that Sunrise can offer a 40% Energy Savings Guarantee is through superior technology and construction. The graphs below show how Sunrise compares to other replacement windows, and how their superior technology and construction result in maximum energy efficiency.

But don’t take our word for it - compare brands yourself. Each manufacturer publishes specifications for their products. Check them out and see how we compare!

This chart shows the percentage of heat and energy that is transmitted through different types of glass. The lower the loss rate the more efficient the window.

This chart shows the percentage of harmful UV rays, the primary cause of fading, that are blocked by different types of glass. The higher the percentage, the less likely you are to experience fading in your furnishings and fabrics.

Keeping Drafts Out and Energy In

When investing in new windows, you want to solve the problems with your existing windows -- block the outside air and maintain the temperature you have set inside. Sunrise does this better than anyone else.

With a constant 25 mile per hour wind, the Air Infiltration test shown above illustrates how many cubic feet of air infiltrated each square foot of the window each minute. All results are from each manufacturer’s published product specifications (Andersen 2000; Marvin 1997; Pella 2000). When comparing window brands, be certain to get actual test result copies from each manufacturer. Air infiltration results for Sunrise Double-Hung Windows are in accordance with NFRC 400/ASTM E283 procedure for determining fenestration product air leakage.

Overall Residential U-Factor results for Sunrise Double Hung Windows are in accordance with NFRC 102 test procedures for measuring thermal transmittance of fenestration systems.
