Whether you choose to go the do-it-yourself route or call in the professionals to get the job done, installing or replacing the windows in your home is a multi-faceted process and involves a great deal of informed decision-making. These decisions include considering the various types of windows available as well as ascertaining what type of frame is best suited to the needs of you and your home.

Style: A Primary Consideration

Windows come in a variety of shapes and sizes and selecting them is closely related to the architecture of the house and it is important that stylistically, the windows are appropriate. In addition, windows can be a significant source of heat transfer, which is important if you live in an extreme climate. Certain types of glazing and frames can assist in the reduction of thermal losses and gains, improving the feel of your home as well as being more energy efficient.

Windows are not only designed for light and aesthetics, but also help to provide additional security. It is important to choose window types that take this into account. For example, large windows, on which it is inappropriate or impossible to install burglar guards, may not be the best alternative for your bottom floor, street facing rooms. This however, is largely dependent on the area in which you live.
