Replacing your old drafty windows will provide your home with a host of present and potential benefits. This is, of course, provided the replacement process was a success. However, how do you measure the success or quality of the project, when you don’t know what to expect?
Renewal by Andersen® of New Jersey-New York Metro, the top providers of picture windows on Staten Island, NJ, examines the three qualities of a good window replacement for your consideration:
Energy Savings
A good window replacement should reflect on your monthly bills. If you’re still paying exorbitant amounts on your heating or cooling costs, chances are there’s a problem somewhere. There could be an issue with the window glazing, or perhaps the window glass lacks the right tints and coatings to lessen thermal transfer in your home. Then again, it could be an issue that is not associated with your new windows at all.
Either way, we take all the necessary steps to ensure the energy saving features of our windows on Staten Island. We use High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass, which is not only efficient, but also serves to limit the effects of harmful UV rays on your indoor fixtures and furnishings.
Airtight Sealing
If you sit close to the window and still feel drafts seeping into your home, then there was probably something wrong with the installation. When we install replacement windows, we make sure to fill any gaps between the frames and the window opening with insulating foam. This makes the window airtight to keep drafts at bay.
Durability
A good window replacement will last for several years before showing even the slightest signs of wear and tear. This will often depend on the quality of the material used in making the window frames. That’s why all our windows come in Fibrex®, an advanced composite that combines the strength of wood with the maintenance-ease of vinyl. This material is tough enough to resist cracks, rots, blisters, and corrosion for years to come. It also features a low expansion/contraction rate, making it rigid and stable regardless of climate conditions.
