5 Costly Mistakes People Make When Buying Windows

New windows are a wonderful luxury. They keep your house warm, generally look beautiful, and can help the house stay cleaner. They are an investment, but that doesn’t mean that you have to overspend.

Take a look at these five mistakes people make when buying windows. By planning better, you can stretch your investment further.

Spending the Wrong Amount

The right amount is what will truly save you energy £££’s during the life of the window. Old windows are drafty, leaky, and foggy. They let your precious heat spill right out the siding! Often, they collect dew or frost as well.

You want to invest enough to handle the weather in the area where you live without overdoing it. Not everyone needs a window built for forty below. But some people do!

Going too cheap means not being prepared for the weather. Spending too much means over-preparing for it, or buying storm windows in a mild-weather area. Get what’s right for your climate, and don’t worry about the bells and whistle unless you really want them.

Failing to Read Labels

The labels on the windows are your friend. They rate the type of glass, eco-friendliness, and more. Buy a window that has the ratings you need, and go eco-friendly if you can. But whatever you do, don’t guess at the capabilities of the window!

Read the label, just like you would for a food purchase.

Working with a Pushy Salesman

Always work with people who are friendly and will answer all your questions. Note that people who talk too much or don’t want to hear about your buying choices could be hiding important details.

Don’t let a salesman push you into a window that you don’t want! Get another salesman.

Shelling Out for Wood When You Don’t Need It

Wood is an expensive choice, often costing double what other products can cost. Choose this only if you are truly prepared for this kind of investment.

People are sometimes sold wood windows because they feel like they have to make a vanity purchase. Don’t let wood be your only option. There are tons of high-end PVC windows that will give you plenty of years of service for your money.

Poor Installation

A high-quality window is as good as useless if it isn’t installed properly. Make sure that you buy the best installation there is to protect your investment.
