Sky Lights Come with Two Panes

Don't Shutter when you need windows

Lets look at your windows. Some windows have one thickness of glass in the frame and some have two. It is put in there as layers with an air gap between the panes. Then they are sealed with a rubber gasket as a unit and installed into a frame. That adds insulating valve to that area of wall or ceiling. It keeps the heat and cold out better than one single pane of glass.

What type of Replacement Windows are out there?

They now come in vinyl window frames, steel windows, wood windows and aluminum window frames. They can be installed after cutting out the inside of the old windows. The new replacement window will fit over that old frame. There are also Clad windows!

Do I Buy Trim also

The new replacement windows normally will also have their own vinyl trim around them and is sealed when done right from the elements with silicon caulk. You will even notice some savings on your utility bills after having the replacement windows installed. They are not a luxury any more. they are a necessary part of your home. Better health also with all the smog in the air today! They seal better too! Replacement Windows come in a variety of types and colors to choose from. If it is important to you to use your existing trim, that is also possible with the right type of insert windows. Just let the estimator know what you would prefer. 

How Long will it Take

On a Normal install you are looking at about one to two days for three guys after the work has begun. But it is well worth the time!

 They also are not just a pane.

They come in two pane glass or plastic also and well worth the extra expense. Some even open up to vent out the heat up near your ceiling. Less time you have to run your air conditioner!

How long does this process take

For a standard installation or a normally sized home they will com out and measure the window sizes to go in. Then they will give you a price and order them to be made. When the replacement windows are ready, they pick them up and deliver too. When the crew shows up they will cut out the old windows but leave the frame on most installations. If you already have wood windows they sometime take out the whole window. That will depend on what type of window you previously had.

Installing the New Replacement Windows

The crew will put the new replacement windows in that opening and adjust it to level and plumb as possible depending on your home situation. It the opening is sitting crooked and they place the window with the level plane, sometimes it actually looks crooked when it is not. So they will tell you that it is out of level for this reason but to the eye if you stand back it looks better and straight. 

They will now screw it into the opening after applying silicon caulk to the back side of the trim that goes flat up against your homes wall.

Sometime they will have to replace your window sill because of certain width problems or they might have to build out the opening such as at a brick or stone wall installation. That will be disclosed at the time of signing the contract though.
