Fiberglass
Fiberglass frames are more durable than vinyl and aluminum-clad wood, and they don’t warp or sag. They’re also resistant to freezing temperatures and sultry summer heat, creating a strong barrier between your home and the outside elements.
Fiberglass is a thermoset material, so it resists peeling and corrosion without the need for chemical treatments or preservatives. And although it can fade from exposure to UV rays, you can easily repaint your fiberglass windows for a fresh look.
If you’re planning to install new windows in your Dallas home, be sure to choose fiberglass frames. They’re more energy efficient than aluminum-clad wood and vinyl, and they meet Energy Star efficiency requirements. They also offer an attractive, low-maintenance finish that will increase your home’s resale value.
Marvin
Marvin windows offer a wide variety of options that can enhance the look of your home, boost its resale value, and improve its energy efficiency. They can be installed as an upgrade or to address specific problems with your existing windows, such as drafts, moisture and condensation between window panes.
Marvin’s windows come in several styles, including casement (opening out to the side) and double-hung. They can be customized aesthetically by choosing where you want the grids that divide the glass.
Moreover, all of the brand’s products are certified to meet Energy Star standards. They also include Low-E coatings that manage the amount of light and heat allowed through your windows, thereby improving energy efficiency. They are available in several colors, including wood laminates and a choice of exterior finishes.
Double Hung
If you want a window that opens on both the top and bottom to provide ventilation then double hung windows are the choice for you. They are available in a wide variety of styles and finishes including simulated wood finishes. Double hung windows can be upgraded with grid options between the panes and a simulated divided lite for that traditional look.
They are easy to operate with a simple lever that lowers the sash. You can also tilt the sash back for cleaning from inside your home. They can also be upgraded with Argon gas between the panes to make them even more energy efficient.
Casement
The most energy-efficient replacement windows in Dallas are double-pane units. They have two panes of glass glazed to the window’s sash and are usually filled with air or gas between them, which increases their insulation value. This lowers your heating and cooling bills and helps protect your home from drafts and excessive moisture.
Unlike other windows, casement windows are hinged on one side and open outward with a crank handle. They can be opened as wide as 90 degrees to let in fresh air and natural light. These stylish windows can be installed alone or as part of a bay or bow window. They’re also a popular choice for basement or bedroom windows that need to be easily egressed in an emergency. Proper maintenance is important to keep them functioning well. Clean them regularly and lubricate moving parts when needed.
