Strassburger ENERGY STAR® energy-efficient windows will increase your level of comfort in your home, cut down noise levels from outside the home and have less condensation in cold weather.  By reducing your home’s energy consumption, Strassburger ENERGY STAR® qualified windows also reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are contributing to climate change.

If all of the original windows and doors in an average older home were replaced by Strassburger ENERGY STAR qualified products, the household energy consumption would be reduced by about 7 percent, which would save three quarters of a tonne of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions annually. When Strassburger ENERGY STAR qualified windows are installed in an average new home, instead of conventional products, energy consumption can be reduced by about 12 percent.

Windows, doors and skylights are a major source of heat loss in Canadian homes. The complete Strassburger window line has been independently tested and certified, so installing them in your home will help reduce your energy consumption and save you money.

Installation of windows, doors and skylights (also known as fenestration products) is best left to a professional. A poorly installed fenestration products may not operate properly and could cause cold drafts, even if the product itself is energy efficient. Poor installation may also allow water to leak into the wall cavity, leading to costly damage.  Ask our Sales Consultants for qualified installation referrals in your area.

For Strassburger to qualify for the ENERGY STAR® mark, our products must meet strict technical requirements for both thermal and structural performance. Products are qualified based on either their U-value (rate of heat transfer from a warm area to a cold area) or their Energy Rating (a scale that takes into account a product’s U-value, potential solar gain and air tightness). Windows, doors and skylights must also have good air tightness to qualify for ENERGY STAR®. To ensure the integrity of the ENERGY STAR® mark, all product testing is done by accredited laboratories under standardized, quality-controlled conditions.
