REPLACEMENT WINDOWS,
COSTS, CONSIDERATIONS
AND IDEAS
•Window design
Depending on your window functionality, you will need to decide on the best
window design. Double-hung windows, Awning windows and Casement windows
among others are best for air and ventilation, while Skylight, Transom and Glass Block
windows are mostly designed to let in light.
•Window Durability
You do not want to keep replacing your windows. Windows and all their
associated parts like hinges, sash locks and handles should be made to last. Look for
windows that can endure all weather conditions without the possibility of rotting or
corroding.
•Window Glazing
The glazing of a window should be strong enough to create a barrier between
the interior and the exterior of your house. Double-pane or triple-pane window glazing
offer more layers of protection from heat and cold as compared to the single-pane
window glazing. Noise transmission is also minimized with these two types of glazing.
