THE ENERGY STAR PROGRAM
Ask about Gorell ENERGY STAR® labeled vinyl windows. Practically every vinyl window made by Gorell incorporates one of our many high-performance glass systems with low-emissivity glass and argon or krypton or a blend of the two gases. These glass systems qualify our products for the ENERGY STAR label. Gorell ENERGY STAR labeled products make your home more comfortable and lower your energy costs!
SELECTING ENERGY-EFFICIENT WINDOWS FOR YOUR HOME
The glass in the windows you purchase has everything to do with the energy cost savings and level of comfort you will experience with your new windows. Clear double-insulating glass is standard on Gorell windows and doors, but you need a Gorell high-performance Low-E glass system for a real difference in energy efficiency.
To see how Gorell products perform with the various glass options, we encourage you to review the "Whole-Window" U-values of our products. These ratings are used by the National Fenestration Ratings Council (NFRC) to qualify windows for the ENERGY STAR® label. The lower the U-value rating, the more your new windows will lower your energy consumption.
