Which replacement windows are right for your home?
There are several things to consider when selecting replacement windows:
- Inserts vs. Full-frames. Inserts are replacement windows installed into an existing window frame. Full-frames replace both windows and frames.
- Wood vs. Vinyl. Most older homes have wood framed windows. There are many high quality, energy efficient wood frame windows. And, there are many attractive, high performing vinyl frame windows. The choice between wood and vinyl products is mainly a consideration of the look you want to achieve and your budget.
- U-factor vs. R-value. While many consumers are aware of R-value, which measure a product's resistance to heat loss, U-factor measures the rate of heat transfer through a product and is one of the best ways to measure the effectiveness of windows on energy use.
- Cost vs. Value. Replacement windows are one of the best investments in your home. According to Remodeling Magazine's 2010-11 Cost vs. Value report for our region, homeowners can expect to recapture approximately 72% of the cost of replacement windows at resale.
The best way to determine which windows are right for your home is through a Home Energy Audit. As a BPI-certified contractor, we are trained to conduct Energy Audits, which is one of the services we provide with every whole-house window installation.
