Windows typically last for 10 to 20 years, sometimes even more, depending on the quality of maintenance they receive. So if you are already at the point where you are planning for a replacement window installation, these tips from Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City will help you avoid making bad decisions.
Don’t Be Afraid of Using a Different Window Style
It’s common for homeowners to choose the same style and brand as their old windows. After all, it’s a lot simpler that way, right? However, with the new technologies, designs and finishes available on the market today, you might just be missing out on windows that can help you save energy, reduce upkeep and improve comfort. So don’t hesitate to check newer models. You might just find something that’s a lot better than what you currently have.
Purchase Windows That Are Suitable to Your Location
Certain window materials do well in particular climates. So if for example, you are keen on a picture window installation project, make sure that this type of window and the material you have chosen can actually stand up against the most common weather conditions in your area.
Consider the Maintenance Requirements
Don’t forget to ask questions about the upkeep required by a particular window. Window maintenance can be challenging and costly. But with the right window, you can actually keep the maintenance to a minimum.
Check the Glazing Options
Several glazing options are out there, and each specialized finish is meant for a specific application. Ask your contractor about the benefits of these glazing options to help you figure out what best suits your needs.
