AEP White Window Panel Kit
This AEP Window Panel will cover an area up to 36" x 60". The sturdy aluminum frame mounts on the indoor side of existing windows. The weatherstripping around the perimeter of the frame seals the window, elimiting drafts and creating a thermal barrier. The frame has two separate surfaces (front and back) of clear, flexible glazing material with a 7/16" pocket of air between them. When the panel is in place a second air pocket is created between the Advanced Energy Panel and your existing window. If properly installed in conjunction with a single pane window, an AEP panel can lower the U-factor to around 0.31. (The lower the U-factor, the better the window is at limiting heat loss.
Single pane windows typically have a U-factor from 1.1 to 0.94, with double glazed windows having U-factors from .39 to .48, and triple glazed windows having U-factors from 0.27 to 0.38.) All hardware is included. With the right tools (see below) a kit can generally be built in a few hours (depending on your abilities). It has a 10 year limited manufacturer warranty.
