When you look through a window, all you see is the view. But it’s important to take a look at what’s behind those windows – what it is you don’t see. And a big part of that is the company that manufactures those windows. Because just as windows vary greatly, so do the manufacturers.
The great American housing expansion of the ’50s and ’60s made home ownership available on a wider scale than ever before. Most of the homes built in those years are still around, but if you’ve got one you know that many of its components are deterioriating and in need of replacement and repair. The physical structure of the home is still sound, and the property is in a good area, but some of the elementsIespecially the exterior) need replacement or updating. Windows are often at the top of the list. Why? At the time those homes were built, wood framed, single-pane windows (often removable storm windows). Over time those wood frames have shrunk and warped, and the windows that once fit tightly in their openings no longer do, which means gaps that let in drafts, which means continual recaulking. And those wood frames need regular upkeep – regular repainting or restaining. And single-pane glass is a very poor insulator; hence the cumbersome storm windows. Today’s modern window technology provides a vast improvement over those old windows, in addition to proving almost unlimited style choices.
Once you’ve decided to replace your windows, there are still a lot of decisions to make – type, options, style, manufacturer. Window Outfitters carries an extensive variety of windows, all from top-quality manufacturers. Choosing the company behind the windows is an important decision as well. While style, appearance, and function might be uppermost in your mind, a company’s reputation, experience, and history of customer satisfaction are also important considerations. And the warranties that back up those windows matter, too. Hopefully you’ll never have a problem with your replacement windows, but you want the reassurance that the manufacturer will stand behind their product if you do. Before you choose a window, be sure to check the warranty that comes with it.
