To make sure that your window replacement Denver project is the best that your money can buy, you need to evaluate your options based on a number of criteria – here are some:
- Replacement type – if you have old windows with frames that are still solid, you can choose replacement windows that will offer you great energy-efficiency for much more affordable prices than the price of new windows complete with frames and accessories;
- Window frame options – if you need to replace your window frames as well, the most common materials that you can choose from include wood, wood-clad and unclad aluminum and vinyl. While wood is the most expensive and most attractive option, it is also the most weather-sensitive solution, the other options offering various levels of energy-efficiency and aesthetics, but being able to endure harsh weather more easily;
- Frame style – you will also need to take into consideration how the windows are hung and how they operate. Think about your existing windows – if you are happy with the functionality and the ventilation that they offer, you can use the same window type with your new windows, too;
- The number of panes – double-pane windows that use air to separate the panes are the most affordable, while multiple-pane windows that use inert gas for added insulation are the most expensive.
