Things to Look for When Choosing New Windows

Like everything in your home, your windows are not meant to last forever. Eventually, you will need to take some time researching and looking for replacement windows. With many options available in the market right now, you might find yourself at a loss on what to pick. Don’t worry because Roof Masters has you covered. We’ve compiled a list of the things that you have to look into when shopping for replacement windows. 

Material Used

The materials involved in creating the frames and glass should be a high priority when it comes to choosing. One thing that you can look into is the National Fenestration Rating Council® (NFRC) rating on the glass. The NFRC rates the glass by its ability to keep heat away, absorb heat and withstand extreme weather conditions among others.

Cost of Replacement

Depending on the material that you chose, the cost of your replacement windows can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. It will all depend on the style, brand, unique features, ratings and installation. Make sure that you have a budget planned for window replacement considering all costs that you may encounter. 

Style and Type

There are a lot of styles in the market. At Roof Masters, we offer the following:

We use materials like vinyl and make sure that your windows are energy-efficient. With our Energy Swing Windows™, you will surely enjoy the aesthetic value of our windows.

Glass Technologies and Unique Features

With many options in the modern market, you will also be shown unique features of different windows. Our Energy Swing Windows have low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings that will reflect heat back outside during summer months and reflect heat back towards the house during winter months. These energy-efficient windows will help your HVAC system while also cutting down on your energy bills.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Sometimes, homeowners don’t have time in their busy lives to keep their windows clean. Glass that is low maintenance and is relatively easier to clean is a good addition to your new windows. Our Energy Swing Windows like our vinyl slider windows offer both great performance and ease in cleaning.
