Most people have many questions when it comes to new replacement windows. Below are the questions we get the most. Some of your questions are specific to your individual circumstance for these questions, or any question not answered below, please give us a call at 503.718.1014.

What’s the difference between a regular window and a ‘replacement window’?

Replacement windows refer to windows custom built to fit an existing window opening. For this reason it’s a precise fit and requires few if any adjustments, and minimizes disturbances to the areas around the window both on the inside and outside.

Why should I replace my home’s windows?

The most common reasons people replace their windows are they do a poor job of keeping the cold out. However, there are a variety of benefits including a higher resale value for your home and reduced energy bills, in addition to increasing the comfort level of your home.

What is Low-Emissivity or Low-E Glass?

Low-E Glass has a transparent, microscopically thin, metal/metallic oxide layer on the surface of one or more of the panes of glass. This Low-E coating reduces the heat transfer, reducing thermal radiation by reducing the temperature of the glass. This is how Low-E glass works, which lowers the U-factor of the window.

What is Fibrex®?

Fibrex® is a composite material engineered by the Andersen company to deliver the strength and durability of wood combined with the easy maintenance features of vinyl.

How much money can I expect to save on my heating and cooling bills?

The amount of money you save on your heating and cooling bills depends on the type of window you currently have installed and how many windows you are replacing. It is possible to reduce the energy cost of a home’s heating and cooling expenses by up to 40%.
