Besides saving money on your energy bills, making your home look beautiful, making your home quieter, making it less drafty and reducing your maintenance, by – well, by a lot. Why should you even consider replacing your old house windows? 

Replacing house windows involves many decisions, not only what color and style, but features, maintenance, and value for your money. If you need replacement windows, we’ll help you choose the most suitable brands for your home. 

Here are some tips to get you started: 

There are many window brands on the market. However, price does not equal performance, nor quality. Prices may vary by materials, durability, scoring, thermal efficiency, brand and special features and styles. 

Consider choosing windows that match your climate. Also, look at the overall scores of window ratings.  For example, consider the following:

  • U-factor:  the lower the number, the better the insulation
  • SHGC:  the lower the number, the less solar radiation and heat passes through 
  • Visible transmittance:  the lower number means the room will be dimmer; a higher number means the room will be brighter 
  • Air leakage:  the lower the number, the more airtight the window
  • Condensation resistance:  the lower the number, the more condensation the window allows to build up 

Furthermore, go for options specific to your region. Specifically, focus on features that will add value to your home.  For example, low E-coatings improve efficiency, but triple glazing isn’t really necessary unless you live in an extremely cold climate.   Also, you'll  need to make decisions on the following: 

  • Frame types
  • Window styles
  • Glazing type
  • Materials (vinyl, fiberglass, aluminum, wood)
  • Operation types
  • Gas fills or spacers
