What to consider when looking for Replacement Windows

1. Energy Efficiency: As we already mentioned, the right replacement windows can result in significant savings. There are several things you should look for. For starters, look for the Energy Star® label. Next, look for windows with Low-E glass, a special glass coating designed to reflect infrared light, keeping heat inside in the winter and outside in the summer.
2. Budget: Next is budget, the subject that ever homeowner loves. Figure out how much you can afford to spend on replacement windows.
3. Style: When it comes to windows, energy efficiency is nice, but style and aesthetic appeal are still what most homeowners care about. Windows come in so many different sizes, styles, and colors. It is important to find one that meets your energy efficiency requirements, fits into your budget, and compliments the style of your home.
4. Material: Windows come in numerous different materials, each with their own benefits. Clad-wood windows feature beautiful wood inside your home with protective metal cladding outside. AuraLast® Wood windows offer homeowners the benefits of wood without the threat of wood rot. Vinyl windows are extremely durable and energy efficient. Finally, aluminum windows are lightweight and strong. Which is right for you and your home?
