Which glass should I choose — Low-E 270 or Low-E 366?

For shaded or north/east exposures, Low-E 270 performs well; for west/south elevations with stronger sun, Low-E 366 offers greater solar control. Both are available with argon insulation.

Replacement Windows in Southeast Louisiana — Vinyl & Impact Options

Q: Do impact windows eliminate the need for shutters?

For many homes, yes — impact units provide permanent, always-on storm protection without deployment while also improving daily comfort and efficiency.

Q: What coastal features should I ask about near the Gulf?

Consider DP-50-rated frames and multi-point locks to improve structural hold-down and weather sealing in wind-borne debris zones.

Living on the Gulf Coast means heat, humidity, and storm seasons that age windows fast. Upgrading to replacement windows improves comfort, lowers energy bills, refreshes curb appeal, and — with impact-rated packages — adds hurricane protection. We install custom Burris vinyl windows matched to your openings for a tight, weather-resistant fit.

Why Replace Your Windows — Comfort, Efficiency, Storm Readiness

Older frames and failed seals let hot, humid air and street noise in — and conditioned air out. Modern replacement windows add insulated Low-E glass and better sealing, so rooms stay cooler and quieter. If your home faces stronger wind exposure, impact-rated units provide year-round protection without deploying shutters. Our guide compares impact windows vs. storm shutters so you can choose with confidence.

Before the list — what homeowners usually notice after upgrading:

Lower cooling costs and fewer hot spots thanks to insulated, Low-E glazing.
Quieter rooms and fewer drafts due to improved frames and weatherstripping.
Stronger storm performance when you choose impact-rated packages.

After the list — together, these benefits make window replacement one of the highest-ROI upgrades for Gulf Coast homes.

We specialize in the installation of Burris replacement vinyl windows, and we’re here to tell you why they make all the difference.

Window Types & Options We Install

Every home is different — which is why we order custom-built windows sized in 1/8″ increments for a precise fit and cleaner installation. Popular styles include single-hung, double-hung, sliders, casements, picture windows, and geometric shapes to match your architecture.

Before the list — the most requested configurations and upgrades:

Energy packages: double-strength glass with Cardinal LoE 270, optional LoE 366, and argon gas for improved thermal performance.
Hardware & operation: durable balance systems and smooth-operating sashes designed for everyday use.
Design options: internal grids/grilles, divided-lite looks, and privacy (obscure) glass for baths and sidelites.

After the list — we’ll help you mix performance and style room-by-room and elevation-by-elevation.

Built for the Coast — Impact Packages & DP-50 Frames

If your address faces higher wind loads, ask about impact-resistant windows and DP-50-rated frames with multi-point locks. These specs align well with coastal conditions and what many insurers expect in wind-borne debris zones across our Service Area.

Energy Efficiency — Low-E Glass & Argon Insulation

Low-E coatings reflect excess solar heat while argon slows heat transfer through the unit — helping stabilize indoor temps and reduce HVAC runtime in Louisiana’s long cooling season. Burris lines include multiple Low-E options so we can tailor glass to each façade.

Our Installation Process — Custom Measured & Properly Sealed

Great windows need great installation. We start with exact field measurements, order custom sizes, prepare openings, and use proven flashing and sealants to resist wind-driven rain. The result is clean operation, reliable weather protection, and a finish that looks built-in — not retrofitted.

Cost & Estimates — What Drives Price

Window replacement costs vary by the number and size of openings, shapes (arches, trapezoids, large picture windows), glass packages, and whether you choose impact builds. We provide line-item, written estimates after an on-site visit so you can see where upgrades deliver the most value. If you’re weighing storm protection options, review our Impact Windows vs. Storm Shutters breakdown.

Service Areas

We install replacement windows throughout Southeast Louisiana — Baton Rouge, the Northshore, New Orleans — and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. See our Service Area page for local notes and scheduling.

FAQs

How long do vinyl replacement windows last in Louisiana?

Quality vinyl frames with welded corners plus insulated Low-E glass are built for decades of service — and custom sizing in 1/8″ increments helps minimize air leakage around the frame for longer-term performance.

Which glass should I choose — LoE 270 or LoE 366?

For most shaded or north/east exposures, LoE 270 performs well; for west/south elevations with stronger sun, LoE 366 offers greater solar control. Both are available with argon insulation. We’ll match glass to your elevations on the estimate.

Do impact windows eliminate the need for shutters?

For many year-round residences, yes — impact units provide permanent, always-on protection without any deployment, plus daily comfort and efficiency benefits that shutters can’t provide. Compare pros and cons in our guide.

What security and weather features should I ask about near the coast?

Consider DP-50-rated frames and multi-point locks to improve structural hold-down and weather sealing — specs we frequently recommend in coastal parishes.
