Hot, humid summers push cooling systems to work harder, while cold snaps and windy winter days expose every gap in the frame and sash. For Northern Virginia homes, the difference between basic glass and a well-built unit is not subtle over time. When a window is built for the climate, the HVAC system does less work and the house feels mo
