9 Supreme Factors to Consider Before Replacing Your Windows
                     9 Supreme Factors to 
Consider Before Replacing 
Your Windows
Introduction
 Windows are an amazing piece of a fixture in a building. It offers a 
glimpse of the world inside while acting as a barrier to the outside 
elements. They act as an air passage during hot summer and trap the 
warm air inside during harsh winters. Being mere pieces of fragile 
glass, windows are prone to wear and tear unless maintained 
properly. Calling up a Window Replacement Services company can 
clear the task in aa jiffy but window replacement is not as easy as it 
is seen to be. Right from the glass type to window types, there are 
different factors that govern a Window replacement in Cincinnati.
 we shall list out the different factors to contemplate over when 
considering Window Installation Services.
1. Consider Energy Conservation
 Ill fitted windows or windows that don’t close properly (due dust, 
grime, or debris stuck in the frame track) will allow the heat to 
escape. So, your energy costs rise up significantly just to maintain 
the ambient temperature. While considering a window replacement, 
check if the frame needs repairs or do you need to replace them as 
well. 
 While this may be a upfront expense but it’ll save you money in the 
longer run. Additionally, you can also choose glass coated with 
special layers to prevent ultraviolet rays from aging the fabrics 
(curtains, furniture covers, carpets,etc) and trap the heat inside when 
needed.
2. Choose The Right Material
 When it comes to the outer frame, you have a wide range of 
materials to choose from. Wood is the most thermally insulative but 
susceptible to termite attacks and deterioration from frequent 
expansion and contraction. Modern windows installation in 
Cincinnati prefer Composite or Fiberglass frame that are insulative 
but don’t warp or deform due to the weather conditions. 
 Yet, fiber glass is an expensive material and hence can drive the 
overall cost of your window replacement project.
3. Correct Window Type
 There are different types of window designs that may or may not be 
suitable to your needs. The easy way out while replacing windows is 
to go with the existing design but it is worthwhile to browse through 
the different windows types if you planning to give a new look to 
your house. 
 The most common windows types in Cincinnati are Bay Windows, 
Double hung windows, Sliding Sash windows. Choose a window 
type that goes with the decor of the house.
4. Single Pane or Double Paned
 Single pane Windows are susceptible to vibrations and can perform 
poorly in cancelling outside noise. Double paned windows have a 
gas like argon filled between a glass sandwich and vacuum packed to 
become sound proof and better insulating than a single pane glass.
5. Ensure Proper Flashing
 Window flashing is a thin material installed on the window frame to 
prevent water from getting into a structure from an angle or near the 
joint of the windows. If the flashing has worn out from wear and 
tear, the water can seep in and cause damage to nearby structures.
5. Improve The Curb Appeal
 The windows add to the exterior appeal of a house and makes it feel 
welcoming. While selling a house, broken windows are a sign of 
neglect and underlying expenses. Different window types can change 
the exterior look entirely and improve the curb appeal of your house 
when selling it.
6. Time Needed for Replacement
 Another consideration would be the number of windows to be 
changed. If all the windows in your house needs to be replaced, most 
window replacement companies tend to approach the job in two or 
three phases (starting from the front of the house to back).
7. Consult a Specialist… Always.
DIY is a hot trend but the ease and finesse you see in a professional’s    
work requires years of practice. Moreover, you stand to botch up and 
the make the repairs worse if you don’t consult a specialist and go 
down the DIY road.
8. Ease of Maintenance
 Windows require minimal maintenance but sheer lack of 
maintenance can render them useless soon. So opt for durable 
replacement windows that need low maintenance and are easy to 
clean. Also regularly oiling the movable parts can increase the 
longevity of your window substantially.
