Buying New Windows: Key Factors to Consider

Investing in quality windows can provide numerous benefits over time. However, you must keep in mind the most important considerations when buying new windows for your home to ensure a successful window installation.

 

Continue reading as Renewal by Andersen® of Alaska discusses the details you need to check before you buy a new window.

Location of Window

Where you install your window is as important as what type or brand you choose. Not only does this affect how much natural light enters the room, but it also can effectively ventilate air and keep out drafts when closed. 

Windows on north-facing walls may not receive direct sunlight during certain times of the day, while those installed on south-facing walls will be subject to more intense solar radiation. Therefore, it’s essential to consider how much sun exposure a given area receives before deciding where to place your windows. 

Window Type

When choosing which type of window is best for your home or business, you must consider both aesthetic and functional requirements. For example, you can ask yourself whether you prefer single-hung or double-hung windows, or if your space is best suited for casement windows. Knowing what style and material works best for each application will help ensure that your new windows is worth the investment.

Energy Efficiency Rating

Today’s energy-efficient replacement windows are designed with special coatings on their glass panes that reflect ultraviolet rays from entering while still allowing visible light. These ultimately keep homes cooler in summer by reducing solar heat gain inside living spaces.

Additionally, some models come with low emissivity (low-E) features that minimize thermal loss during cold winter days by reflecting heat indoors instead of letting it escape through glass surfaces. When comparing products, consider each manufacturer’s ENERGY STAR® rating. This gives buyers an easy way to compare potential savings between different brands and styles before buying.
