Getting your windows replaced is a huge project that requires you to make lots of decisions, including the choice of the window. Here are some tips to make the right selection:
- New or replacement windows – replacement windows are usually the choice for projects that maintain the size and style of the new windows, while new windows work best if you want to replace the style or the size of your existing windows;
- The material – the material that the frames of your new windows are made from will determine the efficiency, the costs and the visual appeal of your new windows. The most common materials are wood, vinyl, aluminum and wood-clad vinyl and aluminum. Your choice should be informed by the size of the allocated budget, the climate zone that your windows are installed in and the building style that your windows will need to match;
- The number of panes – single-glazing windows are no longer manufactured, so your options include double-glazing and triple-glazing windows and windows that use even more panes. You can also choose the material that separates the panes – the cheapest solutions separate the panes with air, while more expensive, more energy-efficient solutions use some type of inert gas to enhance the thermal insulation properties of the window.
