Learn the Basics of Shopping for Replacement Windows

With the comprehensive selection of window styles and options available from Dilworth Windows & Doors, your choices are limited only by your imagination! Keep in mind that your existing window style doesn't have to be replaced by more of the same! Spice up your kitchen with a garden window instead of the slider style you currently have! You don't have to live with that traditional picture window in your living room - create a new focal point by enhancing the room with a bay or bow window!

When you start the process of selecting the right replacement windows for your home, you should first determine what product attributes are the most important to you. Do you prefer practicality over aesthetics? Maintenance-free features or security options? Price versus performance? The options and improvements of today's windows, like most home improvement projects, should be weighed in relation to long-term benefits.

With the virtually limitless choices of window materials and options, it can be challenging to determine which products are right for you. Although the basic function of the window has not changed from it's conception, the technology behind this new generation of windows has changed the way windows are viewed. And when you consider the significant contributions that windows make to the overall environment and appearance of your home - including a wider variety of shapes, sizes and designs but also engineered to outperform previous generations. Clearly there is much to consider, we can help.

Factors to Consider when Shopping for Replacement Windows

Frame Material and Color - Your selection of framing material (e.g. wood or vinyl) will determine color availability - each offering its own unique attributes and styling. Some materials and designs will compliment contemporary decor while others are better suited for elegant, traditional home schemes. Choose your framing materials and then you can consider specific design features, pricing and performance.

Styles and Shapes - There are a variety of window styles and shapes available to you so consider what "look" you have in mind. If you prefer maximum viewing areas, picture windows may be right for you. Or if you prefer traditional sight lines and ease of use, double hung windows are a popular choice. You may even combine multiple styles to create a unique effect that's all your own.

Glass Options - Your selection in glass packages can provide for many of your requirements: from maximum energy efficiency and reduced harmful UV rays to self-cleaning glass and etched designs. Glass provides yet another opportunity to customize both form and function to assure your personal comfort and style.

Hardware Options - There are a variety of hardware options that address a variety of personal needs. Some families are most concerned about safety and security and so we offer hardware that meets or exceeds forced entry codes. Others must have windows that are easy to use and so we offer special hardware packages that ensure optimal operation.

Dilworth's Choice for Windows

Throughout our years in business - selling, installing and servicing replacement windows - we've seen products in the field that have performed well and some that, well, haven't performed at all.

We've worked with numerous manufacturers. Tested hundreds of performance and aesthetic options. Serviced products of all framing materials and window designs. Essentially, we know what has proven to work and what hasn't.

As a result, we've selected window product providers that meet the exceedingly high Dilworth standards. In some cases, we couldn't find existing products that met our quality standards and so we've worked with our product manufacturer to expertly design and skillfully manufacturer a window system that we could feel confident selling to our uncompromising customers.
