How to Measure & Compare a Window’s Performance |
| |
|
| |
Don’t take the manufacturer’s word for it. Look for third-party independent certification. Use AAMA, NFRC, and Energy Star certifications. |
| |
INDEPENDENT CERTIFICATION OF A WINDOW’S PERFORMANCE IS YOUR KEY TO COMPREHENSIVE WINDOW COMPARISON |
| |
AAMA Gold Label Certification requires both AAMA and NFRC certification and requires the manufacturer to be subject to surprise inspections..
|
|
| |
|
| |
All Soft-Lite windows have the independent AAMA Gold Label Certification
|
|
The American Architectural Manufacturer’s Association (AAMA) tests the structural design performance of windows for air leakage, water penetration, and wind load design pressure. |
|
|
| |
- Test for Air Leakage. The minimum standard is .30 cubic ft. per minute (cfm) of air infiltration. The lower the number, the less drafts and air infiltration into your home. Typical vinyl windows are in the .18 cfm range. The Soft-Lite Imperial LS has a rating of .02 cfm at 25mph -
15 TIMES BETTER than the AAMA minimum standard! Windows with high air leakage will waste more energy and cost you money.
|
- Test for Water Leakage. The window is subjected to 8” of rain per hour and increasing wind loads until water leaks through the window. The minimum standard is 33mph windload. The Soft-Lite Imperial LS can withstand 56mph - 79% BETTER than the AAMA minimum standard!
|
| |
|
 |
 |
| |
- Uniform Load Design Pressure Structural Test. Increasing wind is blown against the window until it breaks. The AAMA minimum standard is 94 mph winds before the window breaks. The Soft-Lite Imperial LS withstands 195 mph winds – MORE THAN DOUBLE the AAMA minimum standard!
|
|
| |
| |
NFRC |
National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is a non-profit organization that has established a voluntary national energy performance rating and labeling system for fenestration products.
The NFRC label on a window will show the energy performance rating of the entire window – glass, frames, and all parts. (It’s not just a center of the glass R-Value measurement.) Insist on seeing the NFRC Label for every window you compare.
NFRC tests and measures windows for:
|
The NFRC certifies the overall thermal performance of the window. |
U-Value
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient
Visible Light Transmittance
Condensation Resistance |
|
| |
U-Factor or U-Value |
|
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient |
-
U-Factor measures how the complete window (glass & frame) prevents heat from escaping.
-
The lower the U-Factor number, the more energy efficient.
-
Ratings generally fall between .2 and 1.20.
-
Soft-Lite Imperial LS U-Factor = 0.17.
-
Soft-Lite has one of the best U-Value ratings in the window business!
|
|
-
The solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) measures how well a product blocks heat caused by sunlight.
-
The lower the SHGC number, the less solar heat is transmitted through the window. The range generally falls from 0 to 1.0.
-
Soft-Lite Imperial LS SHGC rating = 0.24.
-
A rating of 0.24 means that the window blocks 76% of solar heat.
|
|
Visible Transmittance |
|
Condensation Resistance |
-
Visible Transmittance (VT) measures how much light comes through a window.
-
The higher the VT, the more visible light is transmitted through the window. The range generally falls between 0 and 1.0.
-
Soft-Lite Imperial LS VT Rating = 0.40.
|
|
-
Condensation Resistance (CR) measures the ability of a product to resist the formation of condensation on the interior surface of that product.
-
The higher the CR rating, the better that product is at resisting condensation formation. The range is between 0 and 100.
-
Soft-Lite Imperial
CR rating = 72.
|
|
|
| |
Energy Star Label |
-
All Soft-Lite windows are ENERGY STAR qualified for all regions of the U.S.
-
However, our competitors say the Energy Star Label is the only thing you need to look for in a good window. In fact, the Energy Star Label does NOT give a U-Factor number to compare a window’s efficiency.
-
The only way to compare a window’s energy efficiency is with the NFRC Label.

|
The edge of the insulating glass is the most vulnerable to heating and cooling loss, condensation, and frosting. Condensation is an unsightly problem that will eventually stain wood, peel paint, and rot frames. Condensation can also contribute to mold growth. In fact, visible mold can often be found in poorly insulated or installed windows. Mold is more and more being linked to child asthma plus increases in respiratory illness, allergies, and outbreaks of fungal diseases. |
| |
The primary window condensation culprit is its insulating glass spacer. As a homeowner, its' just as important to know what type of window spacer material is being used between the panes of glass as it is to know what type of glass package is going into the window. |
|
 |
| |
|
| |
Common spacers made with metal can conduct heat and cold – causing condensation at the edge of the glass. To overcome the thermal inefficiency of conventional aluminum window spacers, the window industry has developed a new spacer system called warm edge technology. If the spacer material conducts less heat or cold at the edge of the glass than a conventional aluminum spacer, it is described as a “warm-edge” product. However, most of the newer window spacers still contain some kind of metal that will act as a conductor of heat and cold. The world’s only TrueWarm® edge is Super Spacer® because it has NO METAL. |
|
| |
Super Spacer® – Warm Edge Glass Spacer |
| |
| |
|
|
- Super Spacer® reduces Sealant Stress. The thermoset silicone polymer material in Super Spacer® accommodates the natural expansion and contraction caused by hot & cold temperatures, UV exposure, wind loads, and barometric pressure. This ability to expand & contract and yet still return to its original shape prevents stress cracks that ultimately lead to seal failure.
|
- Super Spacer® Improves Heat Flow Resistance.
Super Spacer® resists heat flow at a rate of 950 TIMES MORE than that of aluminum. This means lower energy costs, less condensation and reduced chances for mold growth.
|
- Super Spacer® Improves Sound Absorption.
The closed-cell polymer foam in SuperSpacer® transmits very little sound compared to conventional aluminum spacers or less-metal warm edge spacers, blocking out noise and creating a quieter home environment.

-
Comfort Foam™ insulation is standard in the vinyl sash, frame and sill on the Soft-Lite Imperal LS window.
-
Comfort Foam™ R-5 expanding polyurethane foam insulates sash and frame extrusions improving overall thermal performance.
-
Comfort Foam™ insulation is CFC-free and environmentally friendly.
|
|
|
| |
-
Engineered true-sloped sill with a unique tall sill dam that extends into the main frame to eliminate common corner seals that frequently leak.
-
Tight Mechanical Interlock holds the sash in place when the window is under extreme
wind-load stress.
-
Q-lon Compression Gasket System has a cushion-gasket beneath the sash which straddles the raised sill rail under compression when locked for impressive air barrier and water resistance.
|
|
|
| |
-
UltraSmart® Gold Series Tri-Fin™ Gaskets with
Ultra-Fresh® anti-microbial biocide protection in the yarn of the wool pile fights mold & mildew spores, pollen, dust mites, and other air-borne bacterial fungi. Most other windows have no biocide protection in the weatherstripping.
-
Three sturdy polyethylene fins provide additional barriers and diversions against air drafts and water infiltration. Most other windows only have one thin fin of weatherstripping.
The Soft-Lite Imperial LS Double Hung window has (5) pieces of UltraSmart® weatherstrip on the meeting rail interlock. Most other windows have one or two.
600 Inches of UltraSmart® weatherstripping is used in an average-sized double hung window.

K-Beam is advanced composite non-metal sash rail reinforcement. Most manufacturers of vinyl windows today use aluminum or steel to reinforce their vinyl, which works like a thermal short circuit due to the poor thermal properties of the metal.
-
K-Beam is a unique resin-based glass-filled composite material with Kevlar fibers for additional strength. Kevlar made by DuPont® is used to make bullet-point vests.
-
K-Beam is 5 TIMES STRONGER THAN STEEL, 721 TIMES WARMER than aluminum, and unlike fiberglass, able to hold screws. It will not transfer heat or cold through the window as common metal reinforcements do with lesser design.
-
The meeting rails are reinforced with
K-Beam and also act as the Mechanical Structural Interlock, which fights intense wind pressure.

-
Endura-Force™ Balance system provides smooth, quiet, easy lifting and lowering of sashes.
-
Teflon® -coated ¾” Heavy-Duty stainless steel balance never needs lubrication or adjustment. Most other windows use a ½” balance.
-
Balance is installed in a
sound-deadening thermoplastic chamber for thermal improvement and cleanliness, which helps prevent air leakage.
-
No strings, pulleys, wire springs, or block and tackle system in a large metal housing that lowers thermal performance.
-
Safety feature holds sash in place so it won’t fall out of jamb.
