4 Ways to Make Your Window Installation a Success

Are you upgrading the windows in your home this year? It can be a complex process. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to make your installation a success. By knowing your spending limit, choosing the best windows for your climate and working with the right window dealer and installer, you can get the best windows for your home. Here’s what you need to know.

#1. Know Your Replacement Window Budget

Replacing all the windows in your home can be a large investment. It’s easy to go over budget on a big project like window installation – especially if you don’t know what your budget is. Knowing your spending limit is important for controlling your costs and avoiding overspending.

To make a budget, determine first whether you’ll be paying for your windows with cash or by financing your project. Whether you’re paying for your window installation outright or borrowing money, it helps to find out how much you’ll need. Get quotes from window dealers and installers, then if necessary, shop around for a loan with good payment terms, a low interest rate, and so on. Be sure to ask your window dealer if they have any special financing programs.

#2. Try On a New Window Style

Maybe you have double-hung windows in your home right now – but that can change! A new window style can change the whole look of your  house, both inside and out. There are many window styles to choose from including:

• Bow
• Bay
• Double hung
• Picture
• Sliding or Gliding
• Casement
• Awning
• Specialty

Your window dealer can help you decide which change of style is best for your home and your personal style. Remember that you don’t have to choose all the same types of windows for each room. Feel free to choose different styles as you wish.

#3. Choose the Best Windows for Your Climate

The climate where your home is located can have a significant impact on your comfort at home, especially if your windows aren’t ideal for your climate. Everything from the temperature to the number of sunny days per year can impact how it feels inside your home. Windows are rated for different climates, so it’s important to choose windows that have been well-rated for the New Jersey and New York Metro climate.

Factors to take into consideration when you’re trying to choose the windows for your home include:

• U-factor – this measurement shows you how well the window prevents heat from escaping.
• Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) – this measurement shows you how well the window blocks heat from sunlight.

Choosing windows for your climate can be intimidating, but if you’re working with a reliable local window dealer, then you should be able to get guidance from your dealer to choose the best windows for your home and our local climate.
