LEARN HOW TO SELECT WINDOWS REPLACEMENT TO SUIT
YOUR NEEDS

• Many people think they should consider windows
  replacement because that would help save money
  on energy bills, but that is not always true.
  While selecting the
• right windows will help make your room more
  energy efficient, you will not notice a
  significant reduction in energy bills just by
  changing your windows. Sometimes, you can
  lower your energy bills by 7 or so, but that
  is only when you opt for
• Energy Star-qualified windows.
• There may be other reasons to change your
  windows. For instance, you may have changed the
  interior of your home and may now be looking
  for new windows to compliment the décor.
  Whatever the case, you need to take some time
  before
• finalizing your decision. With so many types of
  windows available in the market, it is natural
  to become confused. Here is how to select
  windows as per your unique needs.
• Know your budget and proceed accordingly. Keep
  in mind that double -hung windows usually look
  impressive, but they are not for you if you
  are on a tight budget. When you have some
  financial constraints, yo u can always put
  your money on vinyl windows. Just ensure that
  they will suit your needs and look good.
• Do not think too much about different options.
  When you know why you want windows
  replacement, it is usually easy to choose from
  the available options. However, it is often
  quite tempting to try options that may only add
  to the base cost of a window. For instance, you
  may think that you should go
• for triple glazing to improve energy efficiency,
  but you do not always need to do it because
  Low-E coatings will also do the trick. You
  usually need double glazing only if you live in
  area where temperatures can go very low.
• Similarly, you do not have to spend money on
  going for finer meshed screens if you are not
  overly concerned about how much light can
  enter yo ur room.
• Educate yourself about different rating systems
  to help select windows
• replacement as per your unique needs. For
  instance, if you need windows that
• are good at keeping heat in, you should
  focus on U-value or U-factor. You should opt
  for windows with lower numbers. Similarly, if
  you want windows that would stay visible
  during the day, you may want to consider
  visible
• transmittance ratings.

• Consider the cost of added features carefully.
  You may have to pay extra money to enjoy certain
  features. For instance, you may need to pay
  additional
• 20 to have grilles between the glasses. The
  grille usually goes between
• layers of insulated glass. Similarly,
  hardware-finish upgrades may cost you more than
  50. If you are in hurricane zones, you may
  need windows with impact-resistant glass, which
  may cost up to 325 or more.
• Overall, it would not be wrong to suggest that
  windows replacement can cost you a lot, but
  you can save money and get the best value for
  money by determining your unique needs and
  educating yourself about the available options.
