When it comes to selecting window replacements, you may be daunted by the wide range of options available. But finding the right new windows is essential to getting a good value and ensuring the safety and comfort of your home and family. Below, three tips to help you choose window replacements are discussed in more detail.

3 Tips for Choosing Window Replacements

1. Consider Style

You want to look for windows that complement all of these design schemes and incorporate smoothly into the overall look and flow of the spaces around them. If you have a stunning view, bay windows are a good choice for living rooms or master bedrooms. Kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms are spaces that necessitate the easy access and opening/closing of windows; double-hung or sliders are a smart pick for these rooms.

2. Energy Efficiency Is Important

Don't forget about energy efficiency when checking out window selections. Look for the U-factor sticker on the window, which will give you information about how well the window insulates. In general, the lower the U-factor, the more energy-efficient the window. With energy-efficient windows, you get the double bonus of saving some money on heating and cooling costs and helping the environment.

3. Think About Cleaning & Maintenance

It's easy to look at a brand-new window and assume it will remain in such pristine condition. But windows take a beating, exposed to the whims of nature and the changing seasons. Look for windows that are going to be easy and accessible for you to clean; vinyl and wood windows, as well as double-hung styles, are often the lowest maintenance windows on the market.
