Here at Conservation Construction we know a lot about window replacement as we’ve been in the business for decades, but beyond that, we know what constitutes a high quality window. In today’s article you’ll learn just that! How do you know what to look for when getting new windows? Read the article to find out for yourself. 

#1 Energy Efficiency

Of course beautiful views are important, but overall new windows should perform optimally so they save you money on energy costs. With old windows amounting to 25% of the energy loss in your home it’s important to make sure  that the windows you replace with are cutting that cost down. Windows from Conservation Construction of Texas have been known to save the average homeowner up to 40% off their energy bills. That is because of all of our exclusive features like;

• Low-E Glass Coating (reflects heat and UV rays back outward)
• Argon Gas (creates a cushion of insulation between the window panes which works better than air alone.)
• Foam Filled Frames (to insulate better and protect against air infiltration)

#2 Functionality

Perhaps the most preventable reason people buy new windows is because of functionality. They can’t open their existing windows, or the locks are broken so it’s just time to replace. I know this was the case for me when I got my new windows. Make sure any window you get is easy to slide, has top functioning locks, and will continue to operate smoothly for life. You want to be able to open your windows easily. Our tracks use metal reinforcement to ensure long track life. In addition, our tracks let you lift out the window easily for cleaning. 

#3 Clear Views

You’re going to be looking out your windows for their life. Your windows should have clear views so you can see the great outdoors. This means a stable sturdy construction so that they don’t crack or warp over time. This also means special coatings that clean the window for you. We use Easy Clean technology on all of our windows. This coating works with the sun to decompose organic matter from the glass. This means that the windows virtually clean themselves. This saves you a ton of time in cleaning the windows over the life of the glass. 

#4 Warranties

Make sure whatever windows you choose have Lifetime Warranties. There are a lot of companies out there which say they have lifetime warranties, but then they only really protect the windows for 5 years. Windows are an investment, and you want to make sure they last a lifetime. Our Texas Windows are all backed by lifetime warranties to ensure they do just that. 

Final Thoughts

So, we’ve gone over the basics of what to look for when you’re getting window replacement. Make sure the windows are energy efficient, functional, have clear views, and are backed by lifetime warranties. Again, this is just the start to your window journey.
