Whatever characteristics you value in your windows, the following steps will help to guide you through your selection process.
- Determine the type of window you'd like, such as: double-hung, picture, casement, awning, etc. The type you choose will influence overall size, energy efficiency, ease of use, maintenance and cost. Consider what characteristics you value the most and choose a type that accommodates them.
- Choose a window material, such as: aluminum, vinyl, wood, fiberglass or a combination of these materials. Window and frame materials also influence style, energy efficiency and maintenance.
- Choose a glazing, such as: insulated glass, low-E coating, tempered glass, etc. Energy efficiency and building and safety code considerations will influence your decision.
- Plan the details, such as color, grille and trim. The overall style of your windows should complement both your home's interior and its exterior.
- Determine number and size. How many windows you install and how large they are will affect cost, light, and ventilation. Balancing your needs and wishes with your overall budget may require some effort.
