4 Essentials to Consider When Choosing Replacement Windows

When it comes to choosing the best replacement windows for your home, you should consider many factors. As long as you focus on the important ones, you can ultimately make the right decision. Dreamstyle Remodeling recommends you pay attention to these essentials:

Choosing Replacement Windows

Framing Material

Picking the most suitable material for your windows in Albuquerque matters. There’s no shortage of options on the market, but not all can perform without compromise under extreme conditions. The two most popular solutions, wood and vinyl, are a great case in point. Paint peels prematurely constant exposure to moisture and wood weakens the moment water seeps into it. On the other hand, vinyl can discolor, especially in intense heat.

At Dreamstyle Remodeling, we install products to avoid these structural challenges. A composite framing material combines wood’s strength and vinyl’s low-maintenance features, without the inherent drawbacks of the two.

It retains its stability and rigidity in muggy summers and frigid winters, keeping its weathertight seal every year. Thanks to its superior strength, our bay, sliding, and double hung windows in Albuquerque only need narrow frames and provide a larger glass surface.

Glass

Put a premium on glass when it comes to energy efficiency. Energy-saving glass can reflect most of the sun’s undesirable rays, infrared and ultraviolet, while allowing visible light through for maximum daylighting.

Double glazing, low-E coatings, or gas fills show how efficient the product is. When looking for windows, make sure you check the ENERGY STAR® and NFRC labels to check the window’s energy performance. All products have excellent energy ratings. We install the High-Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass because it’s perfect for the New Mexico climate. It blocks 95% of UV rays and makes your home 45% and 70% more efficient in winter and summer, respectively, compared with ordinary double-pane glass.

Customization Options

Personalizing the aesthetic details of your windows is paramount to make them uniquely yours. With the right grille pattern, glass shape, and colors, they can make stunning architectural accents. We offer a variety of custom options to tailor your bow, picture, and casement windows in Albuquerque. Our specialty products come in more than a dozen configurations, letting you have distinctively shaped glass fixtures. Windows are also available in 47 interior-exterior color combinations and an array of grille designs.

Warranty

A window replacement is a serious investment. Without a strong warranty to back it up for years to come, you may spend on repairs out of your pocket to fix premature defects. At Dreamstyle Remodeling, we cover our windows with different fully transferable, limited warranties. One of which is our 20-year coverage on glass. Our comprehensive warranties would give you absolute of peace.
