Windows typically last for several years before they need to be replaced. And when the time finally comes for you to plan your window replacement project, it’s important to look at your options carefully and ensure every detail has been well thought out.
In today’s post, trusted residential window contractor Renewal by Andersen of Sacramento lists three common mistakes during window replacement projects. We also share tips on how you can avoid these errors.
Paying Little Attention to Glazing Options
Different types of glazing can be applied on windows. The best option depends on your goal or the features you want your windows to possess. That’s why you should always consult window professionals regarding this matter. Some of the finishes that you can choose from include reflective, textured, tinted, heat-absorbing and low-emissivity (Low-E).
Forgetting to Consider Local Climate
Whether you’re purchasing specialty windows or sliding windows, it’s important to consider the kind of climate that you have in your region. Different climates have varying requirements, especially in terms of energy efficiency. If your windows aren’t designed for the specific climate where you live, they won’t perform well and they might not even be able to withstand the weather conditions in your area.
Choosing Windows Based on Price
Cost is an essential factor in any home improvement project. But if you’re making a decision on what window to get based solely on price, you might end up regretting your choice soon. Low-cost windows may be tempting, but remember that they’re cheap for a reason. While your windows don’t necessarily have to be expensive, it’s important to make sure you’re getting value for your money. Always ask for a detailed written estimate so that you know exactly what you’re getting.
