Replacement Windows FAQs
What’s the difference between a regular window and a ‘replacement window’?
Replacement windows refer to windows custom built to fit an existing window opening. For this reason it’s a precise fit and requires few if any adjustments, and minimizes disturbances to the areas around the window both on the inside and outside.
Why should I replace my home’s windows?
The most common reasons people replace their windows are they do a poor job of keeping the cold out. However, there are a variety of benefits including a higher resale value for your home and reduced energy bills, in addition to increasing the comfort level of your home.
What is Low-Emissivity or Low-E Glass?
Low-E Glass has a transparent, microscopically thin, metal/metallic oxide layer on the surface of one or more of the panes of glass. This Low-E coating reduces the heat transfer, reducing thermal radiation by reducing the temperature of the glass. This is how Low-E glass works, which lowers the U-factor of the window.
What is Fibrex®?
