Window Replacement Vs. Window Tinting: Which is More Economical?

If your windows are sagging or not opening and closing as they once did, it might be time to replace windows in your home. The price of new windows is a lot less than older, wood-framed, single-pane windows, but new windows also require more maintenance than older windows. The average window replacement price is between $120 and $200 per window, depending upon the window size and window material, among other considerations. If you have many windows to replace, you might want to hire a window installation expert to handle all of the window installation work for you. Regardless of the price, though, replacing your windows can increase your house’s value, so it’s worth the expense.

When hiring a window installation professional to install new windows, ask him about energy efficiency upgrades that he can include in the full-frame replacement windows package. A full-frame replacement, which consists of two glass panels and four frames, offers the most energy efficiency. By replacing your old windows with full-frame replacement units, you’ll save on energy costs over the life of the house, on the road, and throughout your life as a homeowner. Your installer can talk to you about what type of energy efficient inserts you can have installed, including PVC inserts and glazing that reduce heat gain from the sun by reducing the amount of time that your warm air passes through it.

Old, drafty windows can contribute to invisible damage to your home’s interior walls, but new windows offer a number of options to help you make your inside look much better. With newer styles, you can choose a clear window that doesn’t have any glass insets. You’ll still get a clear view out but without any of the reflective damage that can be caused by tinted windows. Some newer frames also have frames made from real wood instead of polycarbonate, a more durable material that won’t cause unseen damage to the wood framing.
