Buying new windows can add value to a home for both aesthetics and energy efficiency. We'll walk you through the complete process from choosing the right products and configurations to determining the right size and features.

Step 1. Determine the Type of Window Project

Are you buying replacement windows or purchasing windows for a new construction project? Replacement windows interface with your existing window frames. New construction windows use a nailing flange to mount directly into the new wall frame.

Step 2. Decide on Configuration & Style

There are many types of windows to choose from: Picture/Fixed Windows, Single Hung, Double Hung, and Sliding Windows. Consider the style of your home and your needs for beauty, light, and functionality.

Step 3: Thermal Performance

The weather in your area should be a consideration. Your thermal requirements define how well your windows need to protect your home. Consider thermal performance for both window frames and glass.

Step 4: Define Special Requirements

Consider insect screens, frame extensions, and other special profiles based on your location and needs.

Step 5: Measure Your Windows

Measuring your openings properly is important to ensuring you order the correctly sized windows. Learn how to measure windows for both scenarios.
