Why Performance Matters with Commercial Windows
Commercial window replacement projects are involved, and the type of window that’s installed on a property must be specific performance grades. Introducing a product without the correct window performance specifications can cause many problems – from structural issues to energy performance problems.
That’s why every commercial window installation project starts with an analysis of the building. Low- and mid-rise buildings have many different needs compared to residential buildings, and therefore, attention must be paid to the types of windows that are installed.
Commercial windows used on low-rise properties, for example, are much greater forces of pressure, wind-driven rain, and structural strength. A question we often receive is what exactly is window performance, and why does it matter? We’re going to take a quick look at different performance grades, and what they mean for your property.
