Transform Your Home with Energy-Efficient Vinyl Windows

At Windows USA, we manufacture our own windows and patio doors in our factory in Arkansas, allowing us to offer the same or better performance as the big-name window companies without their big price tags.  Our mission is to help Arkansas homeowners upgrade from outdated wood and aluminum single pane windows to modern, energy-efficient solutions such as our high-quality double pane vinyl windows, which we call the Alaskan Window System.

Energy Star Windows for Arkansas Residents

Windows USA windows are ENERGY STAR certified for South Central and Southern climate zones.   According to ENERGY STAR, “Replacing old windows with ENERGY STAR certified windows lowers household energy bills by an average of up to 13 percent nationwide when replacing single-pane windows. Lower energy consumption also reduces greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and homes.”

Rebates & Tax Incentives :

• According to the IRS’ Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit program, “if you make qualified energy-efficient improvements to your home after Jan. 1, 2023, you may qualify for a tax credit”, which, for windows is set at a maximum of $600 per year and for sliding glass doors is set at $250 per door per year.  
• Arkansas customers of Oklahoma Gas & Electric Company who own a permanent foundation, single family home and have electric central air conditioning can apply for rebates worth up to $350 in total for a purchase of seven windows per home.  There are a number of requirements and details that you should investigate to ensure that you qualify and to apply correctly.

Why Arkansas Homeowners Need Windows USA Alaskan Window System Windows and Sliding Patio Doors

Arkansas's unique climate demands windows that can handle both hot summers and cold winters.  According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Arkansas average temperatures range from 32°F to 50°F in the winter to 71°F to 92°F in the summer, although extremes in heat (+20°F) and cold (-30°F) temperatures have been recorded.  To protect against those temperature extremes, all Windows USA windows have multi-chambered frames and sashes to create space that prevents thermal transfer, creating one of the strongest vinyl windows available, and an innovative sash interlocking system creates a strong continuous seal to resist air and water infiltration beyond industry standards.

Arkansas Rain and Snow Makes Choosing the Right Windows and Patio Doors Critical

Additionally, according to the National Centers for Environmental Information, Arkansas generally receives between 40 and 60 inches of precipitation annually, making it critical that your windows and patio doors are sealed from the elements, like Windows USA’s innovative sash interlocking system creates a strong continuous seal to resist air and water infiltration beyond industry standards, Intercept® Ultra, which provides an airtight seal, and ‘weep holes’, which are small areas strategically placed in window frames to allow for exterior water to drain out, keeping water outside.

Sunlight Strength in Arkansas Is an Important Factor in Window Selection!

According to the CDC, Arkansas’s Average Daily Dose of Ultraviolet (UV) light is on the higher end of their scale vs. other states in the continental United States.  Windows USA’s Alaskan Windows System windows and patio doors have a UV inhibitor added to ensure the vinyl color will not fade, flake, or peel, even under extreme conditions.  Arkansans should also consider the direction the sun travels every day, compared to which direction their windows face, and the strength of the sun as they think about their new window requirements, both from a tinting perspective, but also from the amount of sunlight the windows will have to handle without fading or melting.

The Prevalence of Tornadoes in Arkansas… Another Factor

Unfortunately, Arkansas is on the receiving end of some Tornadoes.  According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center (SPC), different areas in Arkansas have received a very different count of Tornadoes in the past thirty-five years.  No window is going to protect against all tornadoes, and certainly not direct hits, but getting the right windows and patio doors can help against otherwise extreme weather and temperatures.

Arkansas Air Quality and How That Impacts Your Choice of Windows and Sliding Patio Doors!

Generally, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Air Quality System (AQS), the air quality across Arkansas is good, with some areas of higher particulate matter in the air, especially around larger cities like Little Rock.  Windows and patio doors with air-tight seals help mitigate the risks of poorer quality air.  Windows USA’s windows and patio doors include Intercept® Ultra to provide an airtight seal and the innovative sash interlocking system creates a strong continuous seal to resist air and water infiltration beyond industry standards.

Noise Exposure for Arkansas Residents

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Arkansas generally does not have high levels of noise exposure (aviation, highway, and rail noise) compared to other areas of the country, But of course that’s at a state level compared to other states.  Your distance to airports, larger roads and rail lines will be different and could lead to higher levels of noise pollution at your house.  Noise pollution “adversely affects the lives of millions of people”, with “direct links between noise and health”, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.  Enjoy a quieter home environment with our double pane windows that effectively block outside noise, perfect for Arkansas's bustling neighborhoods.
