Q: How many tubes of caulk do I need for windows?

• <div><p>You will need about half of a caulking cartridge to caulk one window. The average home has eight to 10 windows, so you would need about 4 or 5 cartridges to caulk every window in an average-sized house. However, you may not need to caulk all the windows at once. If just one window has a pesky draft, you may only need half of a cartridge to fill in the gaps.</p></div>

Q: Are arched windows more expensive?

• <div><p>Arched windows are slightly more expensive than standard rectangular ones, but they only cost $50 to $100 more per window. However, adapting a rectangular wall opening to accept an arched window can add $200 to $400 to your total, making them a more expensive option over sticking with a standard window replacement.</p></div>

Q: How can I protect my windows from vandalism?

• <div><p>Shatter-resistant glass will ensure that even with a high impact, the glass of your window panes is less likely to break. If you&rsquo;re looking for a more low-cost way to prevent vandalism, the most traditional answer would be to board up windows with a strong plywood sheet. Adding security cameras is also a surefire way to ward off potential vandalism. </p></div>

Q: Can I install storm windows myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible with the proper tools. Professional installation ensures a proper seal and energy efficiency.</p></div>

Q: Are there building codes related to egress window installation?

• <div><p>Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.</p></div>
