Energy Star

When choosing an ENERGY STAR® window or door, you don't sacrifice comfort, versatility or style. Vanguard Windows feature ENERGY STAR® approved glass in all our window and patio door options.

The ENERGY STAR Window Program is a voluntary partnership between the U.S. Department of Energy and participating window manufacturers. ENERGY STAR performance requirements are tailored to fit the energy needs of the country's different regions — northern, central and southern states. Your investment in ENERGY STAR windows will pay for itself over time, and then the savings is money in the bank every year!

You'll be doing your part to help the environment. In fact, if all households and businesses bought ENERGY STAR products for the next 15 years, our national energy bill would be reduced by approximately $100 billion. The reduction in carbon dioxide emissions would be equivalent to reducing gasoline consumption by 120 billion gallons, taking 17 million cars off the road, or preserving 142 million acres of trees for the next 15 years.*

What Other Advantages Can I Expect From An Energy Star Window?

Some home furnishings and décor can actually suffer a kind of sunburn when continuously exposed to too much daylight. The ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can cause fading and degradation of many materials and dyes found in upholstery, carpet, artwork, wood or paint. Our exclusive Ultra-U glass, available for all Vanguard windows, can reduce harmful sun damage by up to 75 percent, giving greater protection to your interiors. ENERGY STAR® windows, by virtue of their design, eliminate draftiness and resist condensation for greater comfort. A well-insulated window also diminishes sound transmission.

The Label Tells the Real Story

energy star labelDesigned to help consumers measure and compare energy performance of different window brands, The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC), provides consistent benchmark ratings on performance characteristics of different window and door brands, allowing you to compare different brands by the same fair standards.

Many manufacturers may make claims as to how their products perform, but they may not provide you with the actual printed copy of the NFRC label. Without the label, there’s no guarantee as to how or where the products were tested. With Vanguard Windows, we’ve invested time and money to provide consumers certified performance data so you can be certain that our products will perform for you.
