When homeowners notice drafty windows and rising energy bills, they automatically assume they need entirely new windows. But did you know you can dramatically upgrade the look and efficiency of your windows by replacing the glass? If you’re new to the process, here are factors to consider before choosing house window glass replacement.

Choosing the Right Window Installation Service

Whether to replace your windows or simply upgrade the glass depends on a few factors. Before moving ahead, consider the following:

• Budget: Glass replacement is significantly cheaper. If you are on a budget, replacement glass for commercial or home windows can give you many of the benefits of new windows at roughly half the price.
• Frame condition: If your frames are warped or have dry rot, they may not be sturdy enough to support glass replacement.
• Energy needs: While upgraded glass will increase efficiency, remember that frame material plays a key role in insulation. Aluminum frames, for example, do not have “thermal breaks,” a non-conductive material that prevents heat transfer.
• Aesthetics: Do your current window frames give your home or commercial space the look and feel you want? New glass can make a difference, but to completely transform your aesthetic, you may need replacement window installation service.
• Security needs: If security is a primary concern, you can often swap out old glass with more durable, break-resistant glass. However, our house window glass replacement experts will have to determine whether your frames can support heavier glass.

Benefits of Replacement Glass For Home Windows

Cost-Effective

While it’s hard to beat the curb appeal of brand-new windows, we can certainly help you beat the price—all while giving you an upgraded look and improved efficiency. The cost of new windows varies. However, house window glass replacement services cost roughly 50% less than window replacement.

Energy Efficiency

Modern glass is designed to maximize efficiency. Materials like low-E glass help reflect heat back into your home during the cold months while keeping heat out in hotter seasons.

Similarly, double- and triple-pane options are manufactured with trapped gas between the panes. This replacement glass for home windows provides additional insulation that older windows can’t compete with.

Less Waste

Over time, glass may chip, scratch, and even become cloudy. While frequent window cleaning will increase lifespan, sometimes time and general wear and tear make replacement necessary. But tired glass doesn’t necessarily mean worn-out frames. By choosing glass replacement for home windows, you’ll not only save money but also keep your existing frames out of landfills.

Preserves Aesthetics

Historical properties often have beautiful wood or metal frames that not only match the home’s aesthetics but were built to last for generations. In such cases, replicating the original frames requires custom window work. Residential glass replacement saves money and ensures you maintain the authentic features that make your home special.
