Get matched with top window pros in Howland, ME

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>

Q: Are egress windows grandfathered?

• <div><p>Yes, egress windows are grandfathered. However, this comes with some specifications. If you are remodeling a basement or adding a sleeping area, you&rsquo;ll need to update the egress windows to be up to proper code. But, if you&rsquo;re leaving your home as is, you do not have to adhere to these requirements. </p></div>

Q: How do I choose the right window type for my climate?

• <div><p>If you live in a colder region, consider installing double- or triple-pane windows with low-E coatings, which can trap heat and keep your house warm. In hot areas, windows with reflective coatings and insulated frames help keep cooling costs down. If you experience a lot of extreme weather, then impact-resistant glass might be a worthwhile investment. </p></div>

Q: What is the purpose of the gas between window panes?

• <div><p>The gas between window panes, typically argon or krypton, acts as a barrier to heat transfer. This means it helps keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer by preventing heat from passing through the glass. This gas layer also reduces condensation by stabilizing the temperature across the window and helps minimize noise. Essentially, it&rsquo;s all about improving energy efficiency and comfort while lowering those utility bills. </p></div>

Q: How long do picture windows last?

• <div><p>Picture windows last about 20 to 50 years, depending on the material, your location, and how well you maintain the windows over the years. Materials like vinyl and aluminum may not last as long, while fiberglass can last many years. Wood will last decades if you keep up with maintenance. Homes in areas with harsh weather throughout the year may cause windows to have shorter lifespans. </p></div>
