Energy Star

ENERGY STAR® qualified windows and doors from SoftLite will help you save!

If you want to save money on your home heating and cooling bills—and ensure your home is as comfortable as it can be—you should surely consider windows and doors that are ENERGY STAR® qualified. These windows will not only improve the thermal efficiency of your home, but they’ll also help protect the environment.

ENERGY STAR LABELED WINDOWS

All SoftLite vinyl windows and patio doors that incorporate any of SoftLite’s numerous high-performance glass options meet ENERGY STAR requirements and therefore are ENERGY STAR labeled. SoftLite windows have consistently achieved some of the highest NFRC ratings in the industry.

WHAT IS ENERGY STAR®?

ENERGY STAR is a program run by the United States Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency that helps individuals and businesses protect the environment through greater energy efficiency. The ENERGY STAR label can be affixed only to windows and doors that meet specific U-Factor and shading coefficient ratings for one or more regions of the U.S. These ratings are achieved through independent testing done to NFRC* standards. The ratings of one window will differ from another because of variables such as the glass used, style and product design.

* National Fenestration Rating Council, a federal program created to establish standardized testing procedures and ratings of window and door products.

ENERGY STAR MOST EFFICIENT PRODUCTS

Most SoftLite windows have been recognized as ENERGY STAR Most Efficient Products. The ENERGY STAR Most Efficient 2017 designation recognizes the most efficient products among those that qualify for the ENERGY STAR. Double-hung, sliding and picture windows from every one of SoftLite’s product lines — including Barrington, Bainbridge LE, Pro, Classic, Imperial LS and Elements — have earned the Most Efficient designation with various high-performance, insulated glass systems. SoftLite windows had to meet strict criteria to earn the prestigious Most Efficient distinction.

What People Say

We love our new windows! We purchased an older ranch home with original 1950 windows and the drafts in each room were awful! Not only is our home far more energy efficient, but looks way better from the inside and out! We also love being able to easily open the windows from the top or bottom!

We replaced thirteen original wood windows in the upstairs of our 112-year-old house. We were worried that the new vinyl windows would lack the charm and warmth of the old ones, but we were wrong. The Imperial Elite windows look fantastic. We were even able to duplicate the original pattern of the grilles in living room windows, preserving both the interior look and the curb appeal. Instead of hiring window washers with tall ladders, we can now clean the windows with ease ourselves thanks to the tilt-in feature.

We have done many research on different brands of windows before we decided on SoftLite. We are happy with this decision. They are very stylish windows and easy to open and close.

We love watching birds and squirrels from our kitchen table and were not able to with our old windows. Now with our new SoftLite windows it's as if there was nothing between us and the birds. And the windows look great. Thanks, Steve & Marsha P.

The windows are beautiful and are great for minimizing outdoor noise! We live on a moderately busy street and now it is so quiet and peaceful.

I LOVE my new SoftLite windows! They are so easy to operate and clean and they look AMAZING!

We are loving our windows so far! Our 40-year-old house had all original windows, which were single-paned and in rather poor shape (some wouldn't open, the ones that would open wouldn't stay open, no screens, etc). Our air conditioner broke at the beginning of the summer and we haven't been able to get it replaced yet, but our new windows have kept the house much cooler during the day and we're able to open them at night, making the summer bearable. We love them!

Replaced our beat up casement windows (half of them didn't open/ close properly and were starting to rot and some were drafty) with double hung. It's so nice to have windows that work, look nice and keep the heat out in the summer and cold out in the winter. We didn't like having to buy new windows for a house that was less than 12 years old (we had only been there for a few years) but it was some of the best money we ever spent!

These windows are far superior to what we had and the other windows we have in the house in terms of energy efficiency and quality.

We are very happy with our new windows. They are easy to open and clean and they close and lock securely with very little effort. No more drafts!

The windows look great and I can already tell how well they are working. The house is no longer drafty. I really like how easy they are to open and tilt for cleaning. My only concern is how we will install blinds as the replacement window frame leaves a very shallow space for mounting the blinds.

We are very satisfied with our windows. The house is warmer and there is less noise from the freeway. They are beautiful windows.

Great windows, great dealership who we purchased them from and completed the installation. Love the updated look to our home.

After only two weeks of springtime here in the South the windows have made a dramatic difference. The afternoon sun beats down on our house with these new windows I am able to sit at my desk comfortably and the AC has not turned on. They're incredibly easy to lift and lower, my 7 year old can do it without any issues.

I’m so happy with my new windows. They look great! Outside noise has been drastically minimized and I look forward to lower utility bills after replacing the original windows in this 1954 building.

So far I'm LOVING everything about these windows. They're beautiful and efficient!

From my experience with SoftLite windows,I expected the sliding patio door to be wonderful, and it is. The door slides effortlessly, the screen door pull is designed to protect the screen by keeping your fingers away from it, the extra lock is easy to operate with your foot, and the structure of the door is quite airtight.

All our windows and doors in our home are now SoftLite - great products - we're very happy with them!

SoftLite windows have changed our screen porch into a lovely 3 season room.

Our dealer in NC did a fantastic job representing themselves and SoftLite windows. The windows look great, and have a slightly larger glass area than other lines we considered, which was important to us. I would recommend SoftLite to anyone researching vinyl windows. Excellent value.

Love my new windows!

It is so wonderful to be able to see clearly out of our windows and all of a sudden it is a little quieter in our home. Beautiful product and installation.

These windows are incredible! Beautiful and really insulate the house well.

I couldn’t be happier with my windows!

The SoftLite Pro windows are beautiful. I am very happy with them.

Easy to use and look great in our rental property!

SoftLite windows transformed my backyard patio into a sunroom.

Fantastic job!

We love our new windows. Very affordable and they look so nice. They are not at all drafty like our old windows and the biggest perk to me is the ease of cleaning!

Windows look so much better than my old windows.

These windows look wonderful and the entire experience was better than expected!! Hurray!
