If you are looking for a way to give your home a new look while also improving its insulation, we at Statesville Glass & Shower Door encourage you to consider replacing your windows. Many older homes have single-pane windows, which are terrible insulators, so replacing them is a good way to help prevent heat transfer. In addition, installing replacement windows can significantly alter the look of your home, making it look fresh and new. Keep reading to learn a few tips on how to choose the right replacement windows for your home.
- Consider Panes and Glass – Our first tip for choosing replacement windows is to look at the glass and pane structure first. Most modern windows contain at least two panes of glass with an inert gas sandwiched in between the layers, and many options use three panes. The layers of glass and gas significantly slow down the transfer of heat energy, which helps keep your home comfortable.
- Consider Frame Material – Another thing to look at when choosing replacement windows is the frame material. Our team offers a range of windows with frames made of wood, vinyl, aluminum, steel, and more, and we can help you figure out which option best suits your needs.
- Consider Style – A third key thing to consider when choosing replacement windows is style. Not all window designs go with all architectural styles—for example, Victorian homes typically have windows made of multiple small panels of glass, while modern homes tend to use larger picture windows.
