Have you been putting off replacing those old windows because you’re not sure it would be worth it?
There are several benefits for installing replacement windows in your home. Some of these include:
The process of replacing windows can be somewhat involved, depending on whether it’s a full frame or insert replacement. Generally it takes approximately four hours to complete for each window. This is depending on if you are changing the windows size or not. This process is well worth your money and time with the numerous benefits you’ll realize, including the weatherization protection as well as the beauty you receive from having those new windows installed.
Most Important Requirement with Replacement Windows is Good Measurement
Good measurements are required when installing replacement windows. Measuring for replacement widows for your home is a science. You first measure the width and next the height. Measure carefully so you do not waste any energy or time by miscalculating. From inside is where you measure and measure everything including bottom, middle, and top. How well a window works depends much on how well it fits in its opening; that’s one of the reasons it’s preferable to have your new windows installed by a professional replacement window contractor.
The first step is to remove the old window. The stops should be removed; sometimes they can be re-used. If there are any parting beads, these are also removed, along with the sash.
The next step is the beginning of the replacement window. Generally the window manufacturer has specific instructions for installation that must be followed in order for the warranty to be valid. Sometimes those instructions come with the window; at other times the specs are available from the company. Your best bet is to have your windows installed by a company that is certified or is a recommended installer for that window company.
Before the window is installed, it the frame should be cleaned. And once the windows are installed, your contractor should test each window to make sure it’s operating properly. If this hasn’t been done, request that it get handled before you hand over the final chek.
Your new replacement windows should deliver energy efficiency as well as beauty for your home. The results will be long lasting for only a couple hours of work. It is ideal to replace those windows this summer, before the harsh winter comes knocking once again.
