Replacing your windows is an excellent way to update your home’s style. If you are a home owner, you know the stress of always creating the look that you intend to keep. Furniture, color coordination and  textures all play a large role in this. Most importantly, though,  are lighting and windows.

Windows are key to bringing in the light and the fresh air to compliment and emphasize all the best qualities of your home. Windows leave a lasting impression on your guests and give your house that special look.

But if your windows are outdated, this can result in a negative effect. If you are thinking about replacing and updating your windows, consider the following tips.

Choose a design

The color of your windows should compliment the interior and exterior of your home. Also, consider the grids and the decorative hardware that will be used on your window as these will greatly contribute to the look of your home. Simonton offers a wide range of options when it comes to gridding and other decorative elements. When considering decorative hardware, for a modern touch, chrome always looks in style but if your home has more classic appeal, bronze makes for a rustic look.

Always know what will enhance your home’s distinct style.

Consider Vinyl

When it comes to maintenance, low is always better. To have to deal with decaying wood or peeling paint is a hassle, especially when window maintanence is not always at the top of your to-do list. Vinyl is an excellent way to keep windows free from chipping, rusting, and warping. With vinyl, where the color of your choice is molded clear through, there is never any need to repaint or repair.

Concerned with energy efficiency?

Choosing the right window to compliment the climate is important when it comes to managing those heating and cooling costs. Always compare thermal dynamics and consider vinyl which also acts as an insulator. Simonton is an Energy Star partner that offers windows and doors that meet energy conservation needs for all areas of the country.
