If your windows are old, broken, inefficient or unsafe, you will want to choose replacement windows in San Antonio. The choice as to which window is best for you is a decision that requires thought and planning. Our expert installers can also help you consider the best option for your home and your needs. Here are a few considerations that you may want to make beforehand.

Are They Energy-Efficient?
Energy-efficient windows can save you plenty of money over the length of the window. Check your desired window’s performance ratings, and also consider where the window is to be placed. Windows in sunny parts of the home or in areas where there is no shade from trees or awnings should have high-efficiency ratings.

What Type of Window Frame Is Best for You?
Next, you will need to consider whether you want wood, aluminum, vinyl, composite or fiberglass window frames. Each frame type has its pluses and minuses. However, many of our clients most prefer vinyl frames because they are low-maintenance and come in a wide array of popular styles and colors.

How Is Safe the Style?
If you are trying to protect your home from unwanted intruders, the casement-style window is by far the safest option followed closely by sliding windows that move horizontally. Homeowners with young children will want to choose double-hung windows over their single-hung counterparts for safety, especially on higher floors.

Choosing replacement windows in San Antonio is a smart move if your windows are letting in too much heat or light, are looking warped, have gaps in the frames or are just plain old or unsafe.
