REPLACEMENT WINDOWS,
COSTS, CONSIDERATIONS
AND IDEAS
One thing that is of concern when looking for replacement windows is the cost.
Fibreglass, vinyl, aluminum and timber are some of the materials used in windows.
These materials will vary in cost and installation process. The size of your window will
also affect the installation cost. Though it will require money to do an upgrade, its
benefits far supersede any money worries.
•Energy efficiency
A lot of heat is gained and lost through windows. Choose windows that can
work in either cold or warm temperatures so as to avoid extra costs on heating and
cooling appliances.
•Frame type
This will vary depending on your existing frame stability. If your existing
frames are still in good condition, then you will need the Insert frames. These frames
can fit well into the existing frames, allowing you to preserve the original frames. In
cases where your old frames are pretty damaged, then you will need to pick the Full-
frame windows. With the Full-frame windows, you will need to replace the entire window
fixture. Going the Full-frame way may cost you more money but the end product will
prove to be efficient.
