Can new windows and doors save me money on my power bill?
Absolutely. A good seal on all edges of your windows and doors keeps cool air from escaping in the summer and stops cold air from slipping in during the winter. As a result, you will see a welcome decrease in your power bill. Moreover, a double-paned window with low-emissivity glass will reflect 60%-80% of solar heat.
Why are fiberglass doors considered the highest quality?
Wood doors suffer rot and steel doors rust. Fiberglass doors, on the other hand, are resistant to water and have a much longer life time than wood and steel doors—and they require far less maintenance. The craftsmanship of fiberglass doors has improved over the years, and modern fiberglass doors realistically mimic the look of wood and can be painted or stained.
What do real estate agents say about the curb appeal of new windows and doors?
The entry way is one of the first details a potential home buyer notices about a home, making a new door a cost effective and aesthetically pleasing improvement when preparing a home for resale. New windows on the front facade of the home also provide a cost effective option for making a house appear younger.
How secure are modern windows?
More secure than ever. Modern windows fit tighter, the locks are stronger, and the standard thickness for glass has increased from 1/16" to 1/8". Many windows are double-paned, offering another barrier, and they're installed with masonry fasteners within block to anchor the window, making it much stronger than wood screws.
