As temperatures rise across the country, homeowners are feeling the heat — both indoors and out. At Triangle Building Products, we know that extreme weather isn’t just uncomfortable; it can take a toll on your home’s energy efficiency, comfort, and even its structural integrity. One of the most overlooked defenses against high heat? Your windows.
How Extreme Heat Affects Your Windows
Windows are more than just a view of the outside—they’re a key component in your home’s thermal envelope. When heat waves strike, older or poorly insulated windows can contribute to:
Increased Indoor Temperatures
Sunlight streaming through untreated glass can turn your home into a greenhouse, causing rooms to overheat and making your air conditioning work overtime.
Higher Energy Bills
Inadequate window insulation forces your HVAC system to run longer and harder, driving up monthly utility costs.
Fading Interiors
Harmful UV rays can penetrate standard glass, fading your furniture, flooring, and artwork over time.
Window Damage
In extreme conditions, constant heat exposure can cause seals to fail, frames to warp, or glass to crack—especially with low-quality or aging materials.
The Smart Solution: High-Performance Windows
At Triangle Building Products, we supply premium windows, including Marvin Windows, that are engineered for performance in any climate. Our energy-efficient window options help mitigate the effects of extreme heat with features such as:
Low-E Glass Coatings
These microscopic layers reflect infrared heat while allowing visible light in, keeping interiors cooler without sacrificing natural light.
Argon or Krypton Gas Fills
Insulating gas between panes enhances thermal performance, reducing heat transfer.
Durable Frame Materials
From fiberglass to vinyl, modern materials resist warping and expand minimally in heat, preserving your window’s structure.
UV Protection
Advanced glass options block up to 99% of UV rays, helping protect your furnishings and reducing indoor glare.
Prepare Your Home for Summer
Whether you’re building new or upgrading your existing windows, now is the perfect time to invest in high-performance solutions that keep your home cool, efficient, and comfortable.
