The Facts About Replacement Windows and Doors

Posted by homevisions in Window Installation , Two Part Slider Replacement Windows , Three Part Slider Replacement Windows , Soundproof Window Replacement , Simonton Reflections Vinyl Windows , Security Windows , Security Replacement Glass , Replacement Windows Washington DC , Replacement Windows Northern Virginia , Replacement Windows Maryland , Replacement Window Contractor , Replacement Picture Windows , Garden Style Replacement Windows , free replacement window estimates , Entry Door Installation Washington DC , Entry Door Installation Virginia , Entry Door Installation Maryland , energy efficient windows , Double Hung Replacement Windows

Your windows and doors are the most visible parts of your home.  New windows and doors can transform your home and improve curb appeal.

Consider the following:

FACT ONE: Today's new windows make life easier.  Modern high technology such as constant force balance systems, state of the art glass and precise vinyl formula mixtures mean that new windows will not squeak, fog or fade.  Today's windows stay bright, don't require any maintenance and can easily be cleaned from the inside (in most cases).

FACT TWO: Today's replacement windows are much safer than in the past.  Reinforced locking mechanisms, laminate glass and reinforced framing make today's windows some of the safest that have ever been made.

FACT THREE: Today's windows are more cost effective.  New insluated glass designs, glass coatings and improved frame insulation all contribute to an energy efficient product that can cut home heating and cooling usage and costs.  New windows and doors make the inside of your home more comfortable and quite while saving you money on energy bills as well.

FACT FOUR: Windows look great!  They come in a variety of shapes, styles and colors including bay windows, large bow windows, sliding windows, casement windows, double hung windows and picture windows.  Peraonalized interior hardware (locks) can be customized to meet the decor of your home.

When you go to have your windows replaced, don't just call any company or go to a home improvement store.   Choose your professional carefully and go to a specialist.

What is the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC)?

The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) was formed in December 1989 as a non-profit/private collaboration of manufactures, builders, designers, code officials, consumers, utilities and regulators that will establish a national energy performance rating system for fenestration products (windows, doors, skylights). The mission of the NFRC is to establish a fair, accurate and credible energy performance rating system for fenestration products.

How are the windows tested for Thermal Performance?

The NFRC’s rating system is based on whole product performance. It allows for accurate accounts of the energy related effects of all a product’s components parts and prevents misleading comparisons of a single components to whole product properties.

The rating system is a procedure for determining the thermal transmittance (U-factor) of a product. The U-factor is measuring the transfer of heat flow thru a product.

Garden Bay Window in Kitchen with Plants - MD VA DC

Garden style replacement windows are ideal for kitchen window applications, particularly when the window opening is above the sink. With many options available including decorative shelving, it is ideal for positioning indoor plants, flowers and ornaments. Featuring casement style ends, (crank out windows) the garden window also allows for good ventilation on a breezy day. In some cases, homeowners elect not to have the window manufactured with low emissivity (low-e) in order to allow the sun's rays to reach plants positioned in the window.

Garden windows can also be used in dining rooms, living rooms or can be added to any exterior wall to beautify your home, add natural light and create space for decorating in special ways.
