Tips to Ponder
- Window frames are available in a variety of materials, including aluminum, wood, vinyl, and fiberglass.
- When purchasing windows you can get single pane, double pane or triple pane.
- If purchasing more than one pane you will be offered the opportunity of filling the void between the panes with either argon or krypton to increase efficiency.
- Multi pane windows require a “spacer” which holds the panes together and is critical to keeping the gas in and moisture out. There are several different types of varying quality and often you can upgrade to a better one.
- Always ask the company providing you a quote about disposing of the old windows.
- Vinyl window frames can be mechanically fastened, i.e. screwed together at the corners, or welded.
