When your windows are starting to show signs of age, you may be considering a replacement. However, the costs of a window replacement aren't always straightforward.
As an experienced window company, we have completed numerous window replacement projects. This article will cover what influences the costs for new windows and professional installation.
Frame Materials
The material of your replacement window's frames will be a big driving factor in the cost. Vinyl is a popular window frame option due to its balance of cost-effectiveness and efficiency.
At the higher end, a fiberglass window frame will have a large upfront investment, but is more durable. Lastly, a wooden window frame is a classic type that requires more maintenance than the previous two options.
Window Style
There are a wide range of window styles available on the market, each having different pricing. A picture window will typically cost less than a casement window due to having no opening or closing mechanisms.
The more hardware that a window has, the higher the price will be to manufacture it. Our team at ACM can help you choose a window style that suits your property's style and your unique budget.
Energy Efficiency Ratings
Modern windows have evolved from single-pane designs to efficient windows with multiple panes. The number of panes, whether it's two or three, will reflect on the cost of the window.
Additionally, there are efficiency features like low-e coatings that can help to reflect heat. While these upgrades raise the initial costs, you can recoup some of the investment with lower energy bills.
Installation Requirements
Once you have picked out the window product, the physical installation of them will be the last factor in the price. A replacement window that fits into an existing frame is a less labor-intensive task and will cost less.
If you want to change the size of the window's opening, this will require more expertise and labor. The number of windows will also have a direct influence on the amount of labor required to finish the project.
