If the windows in a home are foggy in appearance, leak cold air or are permitting the furniture and rugs to be faded by the sun, Andersen Windows in Colorado Springs CO will help. Old and inadequate windows can increase the energy costs in a home. UV rays can fade carpeting, drapes and upholstered furniture that will give a room a worn out look. The newer energy efficient windows can eliminate these issues with the installation of Low E glass that prohibits UV rays from entering a home and fading of the contents.
Many window dealers only offer one brand of window with limited design choices. They will offer a vinyl window and suggest double-hung windows for easier cleaning from the inside. The design of the home should dictate what type of window needs to be installed. The size and area that the window will fill should also be considered. With Andersen Windows in Colorado Springs CO, the beauty of the home will determine the appropriate window for installation. A log cabin home would benefit from a window that is not a white vinyl window. If there are cathedral ceilings, the chances of opening a window two stories above that needs a ladder to reach could benefit from a fixed window.
Casement windows are windows that have a handle that is turned for the window to open. A larger window area could have a window with a fixed glass area and casement windows on either side for air circulation. Installing a double hung window that large would be difficult to open for most individuals. Some rooms benefit from a vinyl clad window which is white on the outside with a wooden trim on the inside. These windows require little to no maintenance other than choosing the color of the wood trim inside.
Builder-grade windows that are installed do not generally offer the features that Andersen Windows in Colorado Springs CO offer. Choosing quality windows for new construction, replacement or remodeling can dramatically increase the energy savings in any home. Eliminating the cold air from entering a home with leaks or through penetration of the glass is critical during the winter months. It’s just as critical to prevent the summer sun from heating a home so much that the air conditioner must work additional time to keep the home cool. Be sure to check out Windows at Clearview Distributors before installing or replacing the windows.
