Window Systems

Deltec factory installs windows from several high-quality manufacturers. Double-pane windows with Low-E coatings are standard, but you can choose window options that incorporate the most efficient technologies on the market. Special coatings for passive solar applications or high-impact windows for hurricane zones are available. 

Energy Efficient Technology

If you've ever sat next to a cold window in winter, you'll know that windows are very bad at keeping heat inside your house.  To overcome this, energy efficient windows are built with two panes of glass, and the gap between these panes is filled with argon, an inert gas that improves the window's ability to insulate.

Yet if you've ever gotten into parked car on a hot summer day, you'll know that glass is very good at absorbing the sunlight that shines on it.  It will then re-radiate that heat into the environment it encloses. This effect can make a car--or a living room--uncomfortable.  Windows with a "Low-E" coating are covered with an invisible film that can help keep window glass from emitting so much heat into your house.

Climate-Specific Design

The right window depends upon the climate you build in.   Customers in hurricane zones may want impact resistant windows to give their home extra protection from storms, while those building in Florida will benefit from a different type of Low-E coating than those building in New England.  If you are hoping to build a high-performing, passive solar home, you also have options for the type of window glass best suited to your needs.  We work with each and every customer to make sure they recieve the best type of window for their project.

Installation Details that Matter

How a window is installed can make a difference in the weather-resistant performance of the wall.  We install windows in our factory--not high up on a ladder in the rain.  And we install windows with careful attention to flashing details that can help keep the window opening from leaking. 

We love our Deltec. It is a wonderful design and is VERY fuel efficient. It was green before green was cool. - Becky A., Greenville, SC

Due to the superior energy efficient design of the Deltec home, all the south facing glass and the active solar power equipment, the home is totally self sufficient.
 - John J., Telluride, CO

Our Deltec home has exceeded our expectations. It is comfortable inside and looks great outside. We are very happy with the energy efficiency and comfort of this design. - Marianne K., Harrisonburg, VA

Each time the gas company sends out a bill, they include a chart comparing our consumption with their average customer. Always, our consumption is just half of the average. - Ed B., Holcomb, NY

Our past electric bills ranged from $120 to 250. With our 4000 sq. ft. Deltec (around 3 times the size of our old house), our electric bill averages around $120, $130 per month. - Kim M., Magnolia, TX

We love our Deltec home. It is very energy efficient (we have not had a gas bill over $75 this year), spacious, easy to maintain, and incredibly "livable." - 
Daniel & Lynn W., Wildwood, PA

We have just gone through our first winter and I can't believe how tight this house is, and how it weathers the local winds which are occasionally pretty interesting. - Joseph R., Oakhurst, CA

Using regular windows, floor plan design & sub-tunnels we have such great natural lighting that we almost never need to turn on any lights in the house.
 - Beth H., Charleston, SC

Even on coldest days in Colorado, our house stays in the low 60s without using the furnace during the day. In the summer it never gets above 75 even if 15 degrees warmer outside. Love my house! - 
Suzanne M., Buena Vista, CO

Everyone else around us is crying about $500-$600 a month electrical bills and ours was $239.00 last month which is really low for Hawaii. - 
Keith B., Holualoa, HI

For our new home, we built to the basic Deltec standards…and our Deltec Home earned a HERS score of 34. Our home uses 66% less energy than code-built new homes. We’re very pleased with the energy efficiency. -Barbara P., Richford, VT- - Barbara P., Richford, VT
