When replacing windows, you want the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re investing in quality. With all the options available today, knowing the key characteristics of a good window is crucial. It can help choose products that can improve your home’s comfort, energy efficiency, weather protection and appeal.
Here are some of the essential features of good windows.
Quality Materials and Construction
Good windows start with quality materials. Look for frames made from durable materials that stand up well against the elements without warping, rotting or fading. Moreover, the construction of the window itself should signal quality with tight and precise joinery, suggesting excellent craftsmanship and performance.
Energy Efficiency
Energy-efficient replacement windows can help keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer. They come with energy-saving features, such as multiple panes of glass and low-emissivity coatings. In between the panes of glass is air or inert gases like argon and krypton to reduce heat transfer.
Comprehensive Warranties
High-quality windows from reputable manufacturers have comprehensive warranties. They represent the manufacturers’ confidence in their products’ performance. At Renewal by Andersen® of Northwest Ohio, we install superior replacement windows backed with some of the strongest warranties in the industry.
Ease of Operation
It isn’t enough that your windows look great. They should also perform seamlessly. Before purchasing windows, test how well they operate. Good quality windows open and close smoothly without any resistance. Their locks and latches should work efficiently.
Excellent Customer Reviews
You can get an idea about the quality of any product through reviews. Taking the time to read customer feedback will help you make a more informed decision. Reliable products would have consistent praise regarding their aesthetic appeal, energy efficiency and durability.
