5 Common
Window
Buying
Mistakes
Windows have an
impact on everything,
from your heating
and cooling bills to your
overall comfort.
Choosing the right
ones is key to keeping
your home safe and
comfortable.
Mistakes People Make
When Buying New Windows
It's easy to make mistakes
when buying windows,
especially if you don't take
time to plan ahead.
Familiarizing yourself with
common mistakes that
people often make will
help you avoid them.
Choosing the
Wrong Size Window
An ill-fitting window not only
compromises the aesthetic
appeal of the home,
but it also hurts its heating
and cooling efficiency due
to air leaks and drafts.
• Width-to-height
proportion
• Sill height
• Head height
• Window style
There are several
factors that go into
choosing the correct
size window, including:
Expensive Doesn’t Mean
It’s the Right Window
for You
Windows with the best
quality value tend to be
made of composite,
fiberglass, wood-clad,
wood, aluminum
or vinyl materials.
A lot of manufacturers
and installation
companies offer
these windows
at affordable prices.
The window's durability
and design should always
take precedence over its
price tag.
Overlooking the Need
For Security
It’s important to prioritize
the windows' security
features when buying
new ones.
Windows worth buying will
have sturdy locks and
reinforcement mechanisms.
They will also have
impact-resistant glass.
Not Consulting
a Professional on
What Type Window to Use
Trying to choose
the correct window
settings from all of the
available options can be
a real challenge.
Professionals can explain
the pros and cons of various
options and even help you
compare their differences.
DIY Installation
You might be able to save
a bit of money by doing
a DIY installation, but you
greatly increase the risk
of a poor installment.
Installing windows
correctly takes knowledge,
skill and special tools.
The Importance of Hiring
a Professional Glass
Company
Hiring a professional glass
company to help you
choose and install new
windows has several
advantages.
You can rely on the
professionals' expertise
and experience to ensure
that they install quality
windows that are
accurately measured
for your home.
If the windows come with
a warranty, a professional
installation will most likely
be required to keep the
warranty valid.

improve the aesthetics and security of your
home with new windows.
