However, balancing the curb appeal, desire for natural light, and the need for energy efficiency can be difficult.  Many of the leading national window manufacturers are working hard to achieve all of these features in their new lines of windows for 2012-2013.  Features such as higher insulation values, coatings that allow light to penetrate, but block the summertime heat gain, and custom colors, grilles, and materials are all becoming standard offerings.  Also, here on Cape Cod, we have to contend with the requirements for impact-rated glass or "hurricane" windows for any new home or addition within 1 mile of the beach.  [Andersen](http://www.andersenwindows.com/) offers their [StormWatch](http://www.andersenwindows.com/servlet/Satellite/Coastal-Windows-Doors_Storm-windows.htm) series of windows which meet this requirement, and still offer all of the style and performance of standard windows. Here is an article from Housingzone.com that discusses the new trends in windows:[Window Trends](http://www.housingzone.com/windowsskylights/product-trends-windows-let-sunshine) Tags: [windows](https://info.capecodbuilder.com/topic/windows), [hurricane windows](https://info.capecodbuilder.com/topic/hurricane-windows), [exteriors](https://info.capecodbuilder.com/topic/exteriors) ### Subscribe to Email Updates Search Blog Search Google [Cape Cod Building CostsHow much does it cost per square foot to build on Cape Cod?
