When And How To Choose Replacement Windows For Your Property
When To Choose A Replacement Window For Your Property
Windows take a lot of abuse and must withstand strong winds and heavy rains. Damaged windows can lead to bigger issues with water gaining access to wall cavities and your foundation. If your windows are damaged beyond repair you should consider replacing your window. Check the health of your wood windows by tapping the frame with a flat-blade screwdriver to see how soft the wood is. If the end of the screwdriver can be pushed easily into the wood, it's usually a sign of decay.
How To Choose Replacement Window For Your Property
The first steps to buying new windows are to determine your needs, design, budget and window functions. Window purchases are a big commitment, which means it's a costly mistake to order the wrong type. Follow below simple steps to choose the correct one for you:
Select Your Glass

There are a lot of window glass options to choose from, but your specific application and location can help make your selection much easier. A single-pane glass is outdated in most situations and suitable only in very mild climates or in outbuildings. Double-pane windows are available in several variations with improved insulating ability, including "low-E" glass with an invisible coating of metal. If you live in a cold climate, you may consider triple-pane windows.
Watch for Energy Efficient Windows

As you shop, look at the R-values of your windows—they'll indicate the energy efficiency of building materials in insulation and windows. Higher R-values mean better insulating properties. 
Choose a Window Style
Choosing a window style can be a personal preference, but is also a design consideration based on what exists in an older home and how you'd like the windows to look from the inside. You can consider
Double Hung Window
Casement-Awning Window
Sliding Window
Bay-Bow Window
Garden Window etc.

When it finally comes time to buy your windows, be sure to check the wall thickness before you order. Manufacturers will customize the frame jambs to match whatever wall construction you have. Find your wall thickness by measuring the jamb width on an existing door or window.
