How to Determine What Style of Windows is Best for Your Home

While you might think it’s simply a matter of choosing your favorite style of windows, there are many more factors to consider before making a final decision. It is always a good idea to meet with a windows expert for an in-home consult to determine what style of windows will best match your home as well as your personal needs and concerns.
Following are the main things you need to keep in mind when selecting new or replacement windows Newmarket.

When Is The Best Time To Install Windows?

Contrary to what you may have heard, there is no “right” time of the year to replace your windows and doors. While it is true that it is easier for a contractor to install new windows during the Spring or Fall when the temperatures are moderate, it is actually possible to install replacement windows any time of the year. In fact, it might be cheaper do to so during the “off months,” such as winter or summer, as the prices may be a bit lower during those times as most companies are not as busy as they are during the other seasons. Check with your local windows company to see if their rates are any lower during Winter or Summer months.

What Is The Average Size of Your Windows?

It is not effective to merely glance at your windows and assume they are all standard sizes. You should have a professional measure each window you need replaced to ensure that the measurements are accurate. This can save you a lot of costly repairs down the line.
As well, if you own an older home, the windows may not be standard size, so you might need to have your windows custom-designed. Your contractor will be able to determine the style and size of windows that best suit the look and feel of your home.

Do You Wish to Upgrade The Style Of Your Windows?

If you have recently purchased your home or are looking to give your home a facelift, you might wish to change the style of your windows. Perhaps you have older slider windows but are thinking of switching to casement-style windows? Or you may wish to open up a room by installing a picture window.
There are a wide variety of window styles that are available today. As well you can also opt for additional features such as window grills, decorative glass options, extra security features, and added insulation properties. Make sure to discuss these features with your windows professional.

Are Your Windows Energy Efficient?

If you have an older home, chances are your windows may be out of date or may have suffered extensive damage, such as warping, rotting, or rusting. As well they may have cracks or dents, which can produce air leaks. Modern windows are designed to be highly energy efficient. They can prevent condensation from forming on your windows, prevent air leaks, and greatly reduce your monthly energy costs. Talk with your contractor about which style windows are the best choice for energy efficiency for your home.
If you discuss all of these factors with your local windows, you will easily be able to determine the best style of windows for your home!
