If you are like most Indiana residents who are in the market for replacement windows, you will have important questions that need answers. You have decisions to make and knowing the answers to the most commonly asked questions will save you time and money
1. Are the windows at a “window store” better than those at a home improvement store?
Both places have quality windows, but window stores have the highest quality and best selection. The biggest difference between a window store and a home improvement store is the level of service. At a home center you will have an employee to assist you and can answer general questions. You will find windows at a discount and most will come in one standard size, although you can order custom windows. After that you are on your own. You will have to install them yourself or find somebody to do it for you. At a window store, the people who will be there to assist you are window specialists. They are the experts and often will come to your house to take measurements for the best possible fit, and usually will insist on installing them for you. Many people find dealing with a window specialist is the best way to go and find the window shopping experience an easy and enjoyable one.
2. Do I have to use the same style that is already in my house?
Not in the least. There are many different styles to choose from and that is where a window specialist is especially helpful when making this decision. There are slider, awning, double-hung and casement windows to name a few. All styles have their good points and not so good points. It will take someone with expertise to explain these points to you so you will make the right choice for your individual needs.
3. What is the difference between a wood window, a clad window, and a vinyl window?
Wood windows are solid wood. Clad windows are wood windows covered in vinyl or aluminum. Vinyl windows are solid vinyl. Once again, there are pros and cons to each type and your window specialist can explain this in more detail.
