Choosing to replace your windows is an important decision that requires expertise and a good deal of consideration.
You should ensure that you secure the right service provider, the right type or style of windows and the right tools. However, this can be daunting and leave you scratching your head and not knowing where to start.
To help you we’ve compiled a list of questions that you should be asking yourself before you replace your windows! Keep reading to learn more!
There’s no denying that DIY jobs can be super fun and less expensive than finding a professional to install your windows. However, you need to reflect on your skills and knowledge before you attempt a significant project like installing windows yourself.
Improper installation can have serious consequences, such as energy efficiency problems. When you’re thinking of doing your windows, think about whether you have the carpentry skills that ensure that you’ll do a good job. If not, then it’s best to call in the professionals from Euroseal Windows and Doors!
Regardless of whether you use an installation service or you decide to DIY, you should be questioning how the old windows will be disposed of. Being left with a great big mess is one of the main drawbacks of not using an installation service, as this means you’ll have to dispose of your old windows yourself.
This can be very difficult, especially if you have particularly large and heavy panes to dispose of. Using an installation service is not only beneficial for ensuring they install your windows properly, but they’ll also clean up the mess!
You can also rest easy knowing an installation service will properly dispose of them by either reusing materials, recycling, or donating them to someone who can up-cycle them into different products.
If you do think you can do a good job yourself, you can usually find deconstruction sites that will dispose of these for you.
Your glass type should take center stage when you’re thinking about replacing your windows. Ask yourself whether you’d like windows that offer more protection against UV light or windows with good energy efficiency ratings. Consider using Low-E glass to block out UV and IR rays.
This glass type will improve your energy efficiency by blocking IR light and controlling your heat loss through your windows. Blocking UV light will also reduce the amount of sun bleaching on your fabrics and furniture, which can be unsightly.
Thinking about window warranty is very important when you’re considering getting new windows. Mistakes and mishaps happen, so it’s better to be prepared in case you fall victim to accidental breakages or poor installation.
A warranty will help you avoid hefty repair charges and ensure you can quickly install new windows in the event that your windows don’t live up to expectations. You should always question whether your installation service or window manufacturer offers a warranty before you reach for your wallet!
You might think that you just need to quickly dust off your window frames before you decide to replace them, but there’s a lot more involved than meets the eye. You should ask yourself questions about how you can best prepare your home to accommodate a large-scale installation.
You should always think about disconnecting your security systems from your windows, removing any decorations, ensuring there are no obstructions either inside or outside of the home and whether there’s an electrical outlet near the window so your installation providers can use power tools.
