Window replacement can increase your home’s curb appeal, value and energy efficiency. It can also enhance the comfort, safety and security of your living space. To ensure your project’s success, you must carefully plan it and work with a reliable residential window contractor. It will also help to avoid these common mistakes.
Choosing a Material Not Suitable for Your Location
Your climate can influence your replacement window options. If you live in a place with high humidity, think twice before getting wood windows. This material is highly susceptible to deterioration due to excess moisture. Meanwhile, vinyl tends to warp and discolor from prolonged exposure to weather extremes.
At Renewal by Andersen® of Sacramento, we install windows featuring our unique Fibrex® material. Fibrex offers superior resistance to warping and chipping from harsh weather. It possesses the look of natural wood and has twice the strength of vinyl. When you choose our Fibrex windows, you won’t have to worry about fire, water and pest damage.
Not Considering Your Home’s Style
Quality, durability and ease of maintenance are typical things people consider when selecting windows. Don’t forget to keep your home’s architectural design in mind when making a selection. For instance, double-hung windows can accentuate the beauty of Craftsman homes. Almost all styles go well with contemporary homes, from casement and double-hung windows to specialty windows.
Overlooking Energy Efficiency
Many modern replacement windows come with features that can help reduce your energy costs. For example, multipane windows have inert gas between the glass for added insulation. Some units also have low-emissivity coatings that allow natural light indoors while blocking harmful UV rays.
