New Windows Can Mean Money-Saving Gains

Residential window technology has come a long way in the past few decades. If you're living in an older home in the Northern Virginia-Washington, DC metro area, installing new windows could cut winter heat loss by one-third and summer heat gain by up to 75%. In addition, today's replacement windows are easier to clean and maintain than their predecessors.

There are many styles and types to consider, and they all have their own special attributes. Consider the style of your home as well as the versatility and durability of replacement windows. Here are a few options:

Wood Wood replacement windows offer classic beauty and style, and they provide natural insulation. Although they look great when new, wood windows require protection from the elements, and they are one of the most expensive options. Wood replacement windows are popular, but if inadequately protected they will eventually rot, split, or warp, and they are subject to sticking during bouts of humidity.

Vinyl Unlike wood clad vinyl windows, regular vinyl windows are hollow inside, but they are still strong. Although they are dent resistant and sturdy, they can become distorted in areas of extreme cold or excessive heat. All things considered, vinyl windows are still a good choice since they are very affordable, and they provide good insulation for many years to come.

Fiberglass Fiberglass replacement widows are one of the newest varieties on the market, and they offer exception quality and durability over other types of replacement windows. They are also the superior choice when considering very large windows since they are capable of supporting larger panes of glass. Additionally, Fiberglas can be painted, and it won't warp, crack, peel, or split.

Replacement windows are a major investment in your home, so take the time to consider all possibilities. Carefully ponder the many options before making a final decision.
