"Our old windows did not stop the heat from the sun, but our replacement windows with argon gas from Window World do stop the heat from the sun. So happy we made the decision to get windows from Window World."
"When TJ and his crew showed up at 8:05am they went straight to work! When my family and I walked out 20 minutes later they already had two windows out and the replacements being put in. When I came home at 11:30am to walk my dog, they were done inside and were finishing the outside. When I returned at 12:30 pm they were on the last window outside and finishing the clean up. They replaced 20 windows, including the basement, in less then 5 hours. They didn't leave anything behind and they did a great job! If I ever know anyone who needs new windows I will definitely be recommending window world to them. "
"We are very pleased with the job Antonio did on our windows!! ! He was prompt, courteous, friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and eager to please! We highly recommend him, and will definitely hire him again."
"We replaced the windows in our 1933 home through the services of MadCity Windows. From the initial contact with their sales representative to final installation, the company provided top notch professional work. With the draft from the old windows and the cold of the glass, we are already saving on our energy bills. Our house had old, large windows, so they had to be custom made. As an industrial designer and interior designer, we find our windows to be of excellent quality."
"Perfect Choice's customer service is exceptional. They helped me through the process of getting new windows for our house. They helped to pick the right windows and they finished the job right on time. We appreciate their great service."
"The installers were great. The salesperson made promises that he did not keep and he missed a window. When the person came to measure he also didn’t catch that I was having all my windows done except one. The windows look great. The response when I notified the co that one window was missed was very fast but added to my cost."

The material around a window is simply called the window frame, but the individual pieces also have different names. The top portion of the frame is called the head, the side pieces are called jambs, and the bottom portion is called the sill. If you have multiple windows next to each other, you’ll also have a mullion, which is the frame piece that separates the individual windows. Windows stacked on top of each other are separated by a horizontal frame piece, which is called a transom.
In some cases, you might need a permit for a window replacement, which is hard to get if you’re not a professional contractor. You should probably just hire a window replacement company in the first place because the job is complicated and can be dangerous for the average DIYer. You may not even save any money doing it yourself because contractors purchase materials wholesale.
Glazing is always done from the outside of the window, while the inside doesn’t require any glazing. This is because the main purpose of glazing is to create a weather-tight seal where the glass meets the frame, protecting against drafts and moisture. Since the exterior is exposed to the elements, that’s the side that needs the weatherproofing.
Soundproof windows can’t completely block all noises, but they will significantly reduce sound from the road, sky, or your neighborhood’s weekend activities. Choose a soundproof window with an STC rating of at least 45 to block bass tones or loud conversations. Laminated glass windows can reduce noise by 75%. You can also add noise-reducing curtains to further muffle loud noises.
High winds can be harmful to casement windows and all types of windows. Because casement windows can swing outward, high winds could slam the window against the side of the house, bend the hinges, or even rip the window off of the hinges. If you hear some strong gusts outside, it’s best to pull the casement windows shut until it all blows over.
