Window Replacement in Knoxville, TN

Energy Star Windows for Knoxville Area Residents

Windows USA windows are ENERGY STAR (opens in a new tab) certified for South Central and Southern climate zones (opens in a new tab).   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.”

Why Knoxville Homeowners Need Windows USA Windows and Sliding Patio Doors!

Knoxville’s unique climate demands windows that can handle both hot summers and cold winters.  According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (opens in a new tab), the Knoxville Metropolitan Area (opens in a new tab)  average temperatures range from 30°F to 48°F in the winter to 68°F to 89°F in the summer, although extremes in heat (+10°F higher than normal range) and cold (-20°F lower than normal range) 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.

Knoxville Metropolitan Area Rain and Snow Makes Choosing the Right Windows and Patio Doors Critical

Additionally, according to the National Centers for Environmental Information (opens in a new tab), the Knoxville area generally receives between 45 and 65 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 the Knoxville Metropolitan Area (opens in a new tab) Is an Important Factor in Window Selection!

According to the CDC (opens in a new tab), the Knoxville area, and the state of Tennessee in general, has Average Daily Dose of Ultraviolet (UV) light (opens in a new tab) on the higher end of their scale (opens in a new tab) vs. other states in the continental United States. 

• UV Radiation’s Impact on You:
  
  • According to the International Ultraviolet Association (opens in a new tab), ordinary window glass allows UVA light to enter your home.  And the Skin Cancer Foundation (opens in a new tab) says that UVA rays are a main cause of premature skin aging. 
• UV Radiation’s Impact on Your Windows and Sliding Patio Doors:
  
  • Ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths can penetrate solid surfaces, significantly damaging most materials that receive overabundant exposure (opens in a new tab). Vinyl and other materials can have undesirable mechanical, physical and chemical consequences of the resulting degradation from solar radiation (opens in a new tab), leading to cracking, chalking (opens in a new tab), color changes and the loss of physical properties without protection. 
• UV Light from sunlight can damage furniture, fabrics, flooring, and artwork & photos (opens in a new tab), among other items. 

Windows USA’s windows and patio doors have a UV inhibitor added to ensure the vinyl color will not fade, flake, or peel, even under extreme conditions.  The glass (opens in a new tab) in our windows and patio doors are made with triple-layer coating that:

• blocks even more solar gain, reflects heat, and lets the light stream in.
  
  • It even outperforms the tinted glass often used in warm climates.
  • It is formulated to reject the sun’s heat without spoiling visibility.
• It blocks 95% of the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays, protecting your furniture, carpets, curtains and wall coverings for years to come.
• It has superior insulating capability, helping to keep your home comfortable when it’s cold outside. 
  
  • The dramatic comfort improvement from windows with warm glass surfaces also means the relative humidity of the indoor air can be controlled and maintained properly. Proper humidity levels improve comfort and promote a healthier living environment.

Residents of Knoxville should also consider the direction the sun (opens in a new tab) travels every day (opens in a new tab), 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. 

In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (opens in a new tab), which direction your windows face might change the technical requirements of those windows:

The Prevalence of Tornadoes in the Knoxville area is another Factor

Unfortunately, Knoxville is on the receiving end of a relatively high number of Tornadoes.  According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center (SPC) (opens in a new tab), different areas in Tennessee have received a significant count of Tornadoes in the past thirty-five years (opens in a new tab). 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. 

Knoxville 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) (opens in a new tab), the air quality across most of Tennessee is very good (opens in a new tab), with some areas of slightly elevated particulate matter in the air in Knoxville specifically. 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 Knoxville Residents

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, Tennessee generally does not have high levels of noise exposure (opens in a new tab) (aviation, highway, and rail noise) compared to other areas of the country, with the exception of major cities like Knoxville which does show high levels of noise.  Your distance from airports, larger roads and rail lines are different than this average data, and could lead to higher or lower 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 (opens in a new tab).  Enjoy a quieter home environment with our double pane windows that effectively block outside noise, perfect for the Knoxville metropolitan’s bustling neighborhoods.

Why Knoxville Homeowners Choose Windows USA

East Tennessee asks a window to do two opposite jobs. Knoxville winters settle into the 30s while summer afternoons push toward 90, and the valley holds humidity long after the rain has moved out, so the same unit has to block solar heat in July, hold interior warmth in January, and never let moisture work its way into the frame. Windows USA answers that with multi-chambered vinyl sashes that interrupt thermal transfer, an interlocking sash system that seals continuously against air and water, and weep holes that route rainwater back outside where it belongs.

Homeowners here also notice how much of the job one company answers for. The same company designs the window, builds it at its Arkansas plant to your openings, coordinates its installation by professional installation crews‡, and takes the call years later if something needs attention. With one company accountable, no one has anyone else to point at, and the lifetime limited warranty† follows directly from that accountability.
