Benefits of Installing New Windows

Having new windows installed by a window installation contractor can benefit you in a number of ways. The main benefits of window installation include:

  • Adds More Natural Light - Older windows can become dirty and more opaque over time. In comparison, newer windows allow more natural light to enter your home for enhanced visibility.
  • Provides Energy Savings - If you purchase energy efficient windows, you'll benefit from energy savings that allow you to have lower monthly energy bills.
  • Increases Your Home Security - New windows are invariably more durable and more convenient to open in the event of a fire, which provides ample security.
  • Reduces Dust & Allergens - Newer windows can contain between-the-glass shades and blinds, which means that dust won't accumulate on indoor blinds.
  • Noise Reduction - It's possible to purchase double-pane or triple-pane windows, both of which work well at reducing the amount of outside noise.

Popular Window Materials for Charlotte Homes

There are numerous window frame materials that you can select for your home, which gives you a variety of different options to meet your specific needs.

VINYL

Vinyl frames are among the most popular options for windows because of how affordable the material is. Vinyl also comes with low maintenance requirements and high amounts of insulation.

This material cannot be painted, which means that design options are limited. Darker shades can fade over time. Vinyl windows cost anywhere from $150-$900 per window.

These frames consist of a combination of plastic and wood byproducts. A composite frame offers durability and insulation. These frames have high thermal and are moisture resistant. Composite windows can cost you anywhere from $300-$1,100 per window.

These frames are made of resin and reinforced glass fibers that ensure strong durability. Fiberglass is among the best insulators, is resistant to moisture, doesn't expand because of heat, and is eco-friendly. The cost of a fiberglass window is around $600-$1,000.

Wood frames are known to be great insulators and are likely the most beautiful frames you can choose for your windows. This type of window can cost you $650-$1,300.
