When it comes to changing old windows with new ones, most of the homeowners are confused about whether to go for new construction windows or replacement ones. Since they do not know the differences or major features that draw a line between the two, they always end up having confusion and sometimes, dissatisfaction. Although, the answer sounds simple- choose new construction windows for a newly built home- it always needs more considerations and analysis that one could think.
So, if someone is not sure about window replacement Toronto, then here is everything to know about the two types of window options:
Replacement Windows
These windows have two different types of installation methods-one is pocket replacement while other is full frame replacement. Selection depends upon the condition of the home along with purpose for which the components are needed.
Full frame replacement works on the entire window unit, consisting of jambs and moldings, frame and every small part to add brand new elements. This type of window replacement Toronto is ideal to get rid of damaged and faulty woodwork and frame. It also suits the needs of homeowners who want different woodwork and framing than what is currently installed.
As far as pocket replacement is concerned, it focuses on replacing the window units while woodwork and framing remains at its place.
So, on the whole, the decision to choose any of the option depends upon what the home needs and how inhabitants want things to work. They can choose any window style of their preferences.
New Construction Windows
These windows are ideal for newly built properties or to revamp the entire appearance of the existing one. They can even accommodate a place that didn’t has windows previously. Though, there are some homeowners who opt for replacement windows in newly made openings. Would be wondering why? Well, that’s because of their aim to save money and draw less attention as compared to other parts.
More Differences
Apart from their major purposes or responsibilities, there are some more differences between the two window types that every homeowner should know about.
Sometimes, owners do not pay much attention on windows while building new homes. Though, everybody wants to get the best products in order to maximize comfort and avoid dissatisfaction. So, it’s crucial to know which option would work best.
During window replacement Toronto, replacement units are preferred for their special attention to details. Owners should understand that they are made-to-order items, unlike new construction windows that are mass-produced. They are customized according to every customer’s demands. For instance, if someone wants to have energy efficient and secure items, the manufacturer would add low-e coating and multi-point locking mechanism. The next worth considering aspect is the cost. Most people think that new construction windows are priced higher due to their appearance, condition and other features. But, that’s not true. Some replacement windows are also priced high according to their properties and quality of work.
So, Which One to Choose?
There are no hard and fast rules to make a choice. All homeowners have to do is to focus on the purpose of Toronto window replacement and type of features they want in the new components. They have to prioritize features and choose either replacement or new construction windows accordingly.
