Have you ever heard of someone putting bubble wrap on their windows? No, it’s not to protect them from breaking, it’s to help save on heating bills. Apparently, the bubble wrap traps cold air pockets. It’s true, google “how to insulate your home” and chances are you will stumble upon this tip. Since windows are responsible for up to 30% of a home’s heat loss, Astro U.P. understands the importance of minimizing it.
If you want to actually see through your windows, an alternative to bubble wrap is putting plastic up on all your windows, but who wants to deal with that hassle? And have you ever gotten double-stick tape caught in your hair? Ouch! At Astro U.P., we have a better idea to save on your heating (and cooling) bills. Replace your old drafty windows with energy-efficient vinyl windows. More specifically, Alliance Vinyl Window Systems from Astro U.P. in Rock!

When you consider energy efficiency, perhaps the most critical part of any window is the insulating glass system. After all, the glass is the largest surface area and windows comprise approximately 20% of the wall space in most homes. All Alliance Window Systems are engineered to reduce air leakage with insulated glass and a state-of-the-art balance system designed to keep the outside air, well…outside!
