What Are New Construction and Replacement Windows?

Are you searching for a beautiful rural landscape where you can feel tranquil and at home with nature, away from the deafening hustle and bustle of big cities? Or are you already living in a prebuilt home but wish to refurbish the place to complement your personal style and update the functionality of some structural features in order to prolong the life of your home? No matter your answer, both events put a value on comfort and efficiency.

This situation is often associated with windows—whether small or large in size, the method of installation varies. Typically, new construction windows are used in new homes while home replacement windows are installed in renovations. Both remain as essential components you have to put effort into so you can achieve your dream home. 

Choose New Construction Windows

This type of window installation is built for new homes or home additions. New construction windows are installed directly onto the framing with a specific piece called the nail fin frame—a thin strip of metal that goes around the window to add permanence. 

These windows are extremely difficult to use in a prebuilt home, although it’s not impossible to. The contractor has to remove the exterior siding of the house first to expose the frame where these windows are attached, causing more time and cost for labor.

On the other hand, if the idea is to maximize your garden space, you can build a completely new room as a garden conservatory. The best windows for sunrooms are large so you can call for either slider windows or awning windows installation service. 

Choose Replacement Windows

If you’re planning to revamp your home by replacing old windows, installing replacement windows is more suited for you. You can purchase replacement windows in traditional styles or custom-fit designsalso called specialty windows.

Modern technologies are adapted to creating windows that can deliver high performance and energy efficiency. From double or multi-glass to Low-E coating and insulated glazing techniques, the air conditioning and heating demand, as well as energy costs, in your home will be significantly reduced.

Reviews

"We recently replaced all of the windows in our home. I was most impressed with the friendly staff who knew what I wanted before I did. They seemed to be able to find the perfect window for each one we replaced. We are very pleased with the result. From beginning to end they were professional and helpful. I would highly recommend Renewal by Anderson."
