What to Look for When Shopping for Replacement Windows

Russell Chowdhury February 28, 2017 Reviews Leave a Comment

Deciding to replace your windows can be one of the smartest moves you can make when it comes time to revitalize your home. You’ll be increasing the value of your property as well as the functionality of the windows themselves. This renovation project can also lower the amount of noise pollution from the environment around you and prevent the outside weather and other potentially harmful elements from getting inside and causing unwanted damage to your property and belongings. But before you plunk down your hard-earned cash on replacement windows, there are a few things you need to keep in mind as you start shopping around.

Replacement Versus Repair

When you’re deciding on the type of action to take on restoring your windows, you will be faced with replacing the window or repairing it. That will depend on the original framing of the window. If it’s still in good condition, hasn’t lost its shape, and isn’t showing any signs of rot, then you can repair them or replace the window with new components. Otherwise, you’re looking at a brand new window, frame and all. So make sure you have a professional assess the extent of your damage or disrepair first.

Selecting Materials

Replacement windows come in four common types of materials. Aluminum is among the most cost-efficient but they won’t help you save on energy costs since they’re poor choices for insulation. Wood is a popular option for their aesthetic value but they are the most susceptible to excessive wear when exposed to the elements for long periods of time. Fiberglass is a newer material that is being used in the creation of replacement windows and while many homeowners have been pleased with the choice, it is still an unproven material that can get costly. Vinyl is the most popular choice all around because they’re affordable, energy efficient, and they can stand up to the test of time better than all of the other material options.

Asking the Right Questions

You’re no expert when it comes to replacing windows, so it’s natural to have questions. By all means, feel free to ask about anything you may be concerned or confused about at any stage of the process. From choosing the right materials for the window to the installation procedures that are going to be implemented on your home, always ask when in doubt. This may be the difference between having the windows you want and being stuck with something that isn’t quite what you pictured ahead of time. Discussing the installation process with your installer will also let you know how long your home will be subject to disruption when your windows are being replaced. When you working with Renewal by Andersen Denver, there are no silly questions. We are happy to answer any queries you may have so you can rest assured the job is done right the first time.
