Energy Efficient Windows in Arlington, TX

Arlington sits right between Dallas and Fort Worth, and its housing stock reflects the decades when the city did most of its growing. A large share of Arlington homes went up from the 1970s through the 1990s — which matters for a specific, technical reason: that is largely before Low-E coatings became standard on residential glass.

So the problem in a typical Arlington home usually isn’t just a failed seal. It’s that the original glass was never designed to reject solar heat in the first place. A clear double pane unit from 1985 can be perfectly intact and still let a punishing amount of summer heat straight through, because it has no coating doing that job. That’s why the fix here is so often about the glass package rather than simply swapping like for like.

On top of that, Arlington sits on the same expansive North Texas clay as the rest of the Metroplex — soil that swells when wet and shrinks in a dry summer, moving foundations season to season. That movement pushes into the frames around your windows and doors, which is why a window can go out of square or a door can start sticking well before the glass itself is the problem. Add this region’s hail exposure and you have three separate reasons an Arlington window reaches the end of its life.
