Q: Are impact windows as good as hurricane shutters?

• <div><p>When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/impact-vs-hurricane-shutters.htm">impact windows vs. hurricane shutters</a>, it&rsquo;s important to consider the protection and installation details to determine the right choice for you. For constant protection against storms and flying debris, impact windows are a better option than hurricane shutters, especially if you don&rsquo;t want to install shutters that will change the look of your house. However, impact windows are more costly than hurricane shutters. If you want a budget-friendly option that&rsquo;s still protective against storms, hurricane shutters are a solid option. </p></div>

Q: Can you replace the frame around a window?

• <div><p>Yes, you can replace the frame around a window by completing either a partial replacement or a full replacement. With a partial replacement, your window specialist will remove the trim around the window and replace or repair just the damaged portion. For a full replacement, your tech will need to remove the window, replace the frame, and then reinstall the window.</p></div>

Q: Do egress windows open in or out?

• <div><p>Most modern egress windows installed in basements open outward into a window well, although some older homes have in-swing windows. Egress windows, like casement windows used in other parts of the home, such as bedrooms and bathrooms, may open inward, and these windows are often larger than outward-opening windows. </p></div>

Q: How can you tell how old windows are?

• <div><p>Most manufacturers have their name imprinted somewhere on the window, such as the spacer bar, hardware, or frame. Other manufacturers will include an identification number printed on the glass itself. If you&rsquo;re unable to find either of these, then your window was manufactured locally (oftentimes called a &ldquo;shop window&rdquo;). </p><p>With a manufacturer name (or even better, the identification number) you can attempt to research the information to find out when the product was made. Keep in mind this won&rsquo;t tell you when the window was installed on your home, but can get you close.</p></div>

Q: How do you read window sizes?

• <div><p>When specifying window sizes, manufacturers use a standard four-digit code system. The first two numbers represent window width, and the last two represent window height. For example, a window with a code of 2917 has dimensions of 2 feet, 9 inches wide by 1 foot, 7 inches high. Windows with even dimensions include zeros as placeholders. For example, a window that is 5 feet wide by 2 feet high would have a code of 5020. </p></div>
