        "text": "When selecting new double-pane windows, consider factors beyond just appearance. Look at the U-factor, which indicates heat loss (lower is better), and the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), which measures how well a window blocks heat from the sun (important in warmer climates). Frame material, glass type (e.g., Low-E coatings), energy star rating, and warranty are also crucial. Discuss your priorities, such as noise reduction, security, or energy savings, with your contractor to find the best fit.",
