Homeowner guideChoosing Windows for North Texas Heat
In North Texas, windows are mostly about keeping summer heat out while handling winter cold snaps and spring hail. The NFRC label on each window gives you the numbers to compare.
The numbers that matter
- SHGC (solar heat gain coefficient): lower means less solar heat gets in. This matters a lot on west- and south-facing windows.
- U-factor: lower means better insulation in winter and summer.
- Visible transmittance: how much daylight passes through.
Glass and frames
Low-E coated, insulated glass is the common choice. Vinyl and fiberglass frames insulate well; aluminum frames conduct heat unless they include a thermal break.
After hail
Check for cracked panes, broken seals (fog between panes) and dented frames after storms, and document damage with photos for your insurer.
