"I used the company on two occasions for my former home and for my new home. I used Champion Window Company of Wichita, LLC to replace eight windows and for my new property they have replaced about three windows. When comparing price and service to Anderson and Pella this company wins hands down on customer service and pricing. I already have referred this company many times."
"The installers were wonderful. Friendly, knowledgeable, fast and CLEAN! Youâ d barely know theyâ d been there!. And our sales person really helped us understand the best, but not most expensive windows for our house. If I need more windows they will be back!"
"We recently used h2oTEKs for gutter cleaning and window washing of our entire 2-story colonial house. They are fast, professional, and thorough, including sending before/after pictures, etc. We have always been fully satisfied with the quality of the work. I also appreciate that Jonathan is very responsive via email and text, which is refreshing compared to some contractors which only work via phone/voicemail/answering service. I was also impressed with their customer service when we had a tricky issue w/ our downspout/gutter which required multiple visits and coordination."
"We've used US Film Crew and Keith Hillison multiple times for residential window tinting, and they've been outstanding every time. The quality of the work is excellent, they're professional, reliable, and easy to work with, and the results always exceed our expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for home window tinting."
"I have to say that Matt, Dave and Rich were amazing! They were professional, friendly and cleaned up after themselves! I will tell anyone I know looking for windows to call Rite Window for sure. Happy customer Darlene"
Casement windows are safer against intruders than double-hung windows because they are extremely difficult to pry open from the outside. However, if you’re concerned about young kids or pets, double-hung windows have safety features you might prefer. With double-hung windows vs. single-hung or casement windows, you can lock the bottom sash and open just the top sash to keep children and dogs or cats safe.
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.
There are many standard window sizes. The most common windows, single or double-hung models, typically range from 2-feet by 3-feet up to 4-feet by 6-feet. Of course, sliding windows will be wider than they are tall, though the standard sizing follows the same measurements.
Because egress windows are meant for emergency exiting and entering, they need to be an accessible size. The smallest an egress window is allowed to be is 15 inches in width and height, with an opening of around 4 square feet.
When you need new windows depends on a variety of factors, including the age of your windows, the age of your home, and the climate you live in. If you’re dealing with budget constraints, you don’t need to replace all your windows simultaneously.
When buying new windows, you should consider energy efficiency, safety, and aesthetics to choose the right window for you.
