Today, we share 25 must-know facts about replacement windows for your home, just a few things you might want to keep in mind if you plan on\u00a0investing in new ones.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If your windows tend to collect condensation or frost, if they\u2019ve been painted shut, or you feel air coming in at the edges, consider\u00a0replacing your windows<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. The R-value of a window measures its ability to resist heat flow, either coming in or going out.<\/li>\n
  3. Windows should have a lifespan of around 20 years \u2013 your warranty should reflect this.<\/li>\n
  4. The most budget-friendly and low maintenance type of windows\u00a0are vinyl windows.<\/li>\n
  5. For bathrooms and other spaces that require privacy, you can get frosted or bubbled glass that lets light in but limits the view.<\/li>\n
  6. Wood window frames with a metal outer surface are known as metal clad windows and are often the most expensive option.<\/li>\n
  7. If you want a window that can be painted to match the interior of your home,\u00a0composite<\/a>\u00a0may be a good choice. These windows are also stronger than wood and vinyl.<\/li>\n
  8. If you want to \u201cbounce\u201d or reflect heat back to its source without blocking light, a low e-coating can be applied to your window.<\/li>\n
  9. If you want windows that are easy to clean inside and out, no ladder needed, ask us about tilting double-hung windows.<\/li>\n
  10. For unobstructed views, fixed picture windows are ideal. Just remember that they don\u2019t open, so you\u2019ll want other windows nearby to provide you with ventilation.<\/li>\n
  11. If you want the best of both worlds, a low maintenance window and the ability to paint your windows in the future, consider\u00a0fiberglass windows<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  12. Awning windows can be left open during light rain, allowing ventilation without letting in water.<\/li>\n
  13. Shatterproof glass is two to four times stronger than standard window glass and recommended in hurricane prone areas.<\/li>\n
  14. Solid wood windows are cost more and require maintenance but provide great insulation.<\/li>\n
  15. Double glazed replacement windows not only reduce heat loss, but they can also reduce noise levels from the outside entering your home.<\/li>\n
  16. When it comes to a home\u2019s wall space, about 15% is taken up by windows.<\/li>\n
  17. Metal windows, usually made from aluminum are affordable, durable and low maintenance. But they are not good at insulating which makes them a poor choice for Colorado weather.<\/li>\n
  18. Casement windows are often placed over sinks or countertops because they use a crank handle to open and close. No need to climb counters to push a double-hung all the way to get a breeze.<\/li>\n
  19. Single or double hung windows are flush, requiring no extra space when opened.<\/li>\n
  20. Low-E glass for windows<\/a>\u00a0uses a coating that can cut glare and block the UV rays that cause interior walls and carpets to fade.<\/li>\n
  21. Metal spacers in double glazed windows allow more heat transfer than plastic or rubber ones.<\/li>\n
  22. When choosing shades and awnings, use light colors to greatly can reduce window heat gain.<\/li>\n
