Energy-Efficient Replacement Windows
Energy-efficient windows provide greater insulation than standard windows, thus improving the energy efficiency of your home. This means that there will be less heat transfer between your home’s interior and exterior.
Improved insulation, improved noise reduction, and fewer condensation issues are just some of the benefits homeowners enjoy after we install new windows equipped with this technology.
While customers have a wide range of window options to choose from, the glass type and frame material are crucial aspects that need to be considered before making the final selection.
The glass allows natural light to enter your home and breaks up the monotony of solid interior or exterior walls. The glass type you have in your windows can make a big difference when it comes to energy efficiency.
Additionally, the frame material of your windows and doors can also affect the level of energy efficiency produced. The frame can be made from one of five materials: aluminum, vinyl, wood, composite, and fiberglass.
Window Glass Types
- Single-pane windows: a single sheet of glass. The least efficient window but the most affordable type.
- Double-pane windows: two panes of glass with a sealed compartment between them, usually containing argon, an insulative gas. They are generally considered to be energy efficient, but of course, you have to consider other factors.
- Triple-pane windows: three panes of glass and two layers of insulative gas sealed between panes. Typically the most energy-efficient windows, but it doesn’t automatically make a window efficient. These are usually right under double the price of double-pane windows.
Window Frame Material
- Aluminum: the least energy efficient but again the most affordable. They require little maintenance and be painted to your preference.
- Vinyl: much more energy efficient than aluminum and, on average, only slightly more expensive. Vinyl frames cannot be painted.
- Wood: wood frames are less energy efficient than insulated vinyl and also more expensive. Homeowners choose them for the durability and aesthetic they provide.
- Composite: composed of multiple materials that offer the appearance of wood frames but with superior energy efficiency. These are more expensive than aluminum, vinyl, and wood window frames.
- Fiberglass: the most energy-efficient of them all. However, they are also the most expensive
Window Shape Options
Windows can vary in shape, and each type has advantages and disadvantages. There is a lot to keep in mind when selecting your window style. You should choose the type of windows that meet the needs for functionality, lighting, and price in your house or business space.
Some of the most common window shapes include casement, awning, double-hung, bay, picture, slider, single-hung, and custom.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are what you’d imagine, in terms of old, open-style windows, where the hinge is on the outside of the structure. These windows are more commonly found in hard-to-reach areas, such as above kitchen sinks. They can be either single or double-pane.
Awning Windows
These are a popular style of window for areas that benefit from greater ventilation while still providing protection from outdoor elements. Awning windows are hinged at the top of the panel and opened with a handle. They are a great way to add a unique design element to your house or business space.
Double-Hung Windows
Homeowners often opt for this type of window in bedrooms and similar spaces. They have the option to open at either the top or bottom panels, offering versatility other window types don’t. This window type also provides a sleek, modern look to any home.
Bay Windows
These classic front window types offer a touch of luxury to your home’s curb appeal.
Customers who prefer bay windows need to ensure they can properly protect their valued items located in front of this window type, because the sun may fade many types of furniture or fabrics.
Picture Windows
Classic, rectangular glass panels that lack sliding or opening components. Picture windows are motionless and allow impenetrable sunlight inside without obstructions.
Slider Windows
Probably one of the most low-maintenance options available for windows. Slider windows have two components, one stationary pane, as the other one moves horizontally, making this a popular window for bedrooms and other areas. It is more of a contemporary style and allows more ventilation without having a complex system of window parts.
Single-Hung Windows
Single-hung windows are the same as double-hung windows, except for the top panel, which remains immobile, while the bottom panel moves up and down, providing ventilation. A popular choice for areas that will utilize ventilation frequently, like bedrooms or bathrooms.
Custom Windows
A window specially designed and built to your home’s opening by a professional. You have more control over the material, color, and style because custom windows are not mass-produced.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Shreveport Window Replacement Services
How Much Does it Cost to Replace Windows in Shreveport, LA?
There are several different factors that contribute to the overall cost of replacing windows, including type, materials used, size of the window, number of windows, installation, and whether you’ll need a professional to design custom window offerings. On average, the price for window installation or replacement in Shreveport and Bossier City ranges from $4,259-$13,552.
How Do I Know if I Need Windows Replaced?
Cracked window panes are an obvious indicator that your windows need to be replaced, but not every sign of distress is as obvious. When windows are dated, damaged, or need an upgrade, they can cause your home’s cooling and heating systems to work overtime.
Common signs that your windows need to be replaced include:
- Broken or damaged seals
- Operational issues
- Increased utility costs
- Condensation of water build-up
- Increased outside noise
- Decay and water damage on window frames
What Time of Year Is Best for Window Installation and Replacement?
Window installation can be done anytime throughout the year. Window replacement can be done in any kind of weather, even though rain may be a little tricky. However, if you want to schedule your installation project during the optimal months of spring and summer, you may be on a long waiting list or may not even be able to get on the schedule during that time. Of course, it is better to have your windows replaced and installed by a professional during nicer weather to avoid complications with the caulk setting or moisture issues.
How Long Does it Take to Replace Windows?
The window replacement timeline can be lengthy due to your contractor having to order the replacement windows. It can take anywhere from 4 to 15 weeks for the completion of the job from the time you hire professional window installers and get your initial evaluation.
However, factors can affect the window replacement timeline, such as the complexity of the job, full-frame installation, accessibility, material, manufacturer, or HOA rules.
