Get matched with top window treatment pros in Tool, TX

Q: What are the disadvantages of bay windows?

• <div><p>On average, bay windows are three times as expensive as a standard double-hung window, so up-front cost is a major drawback. They also let in more natural light than most other types of windows, which can be a positive thing, but it can also lead to more aggressive fading and UV damage to furniture and flooring. Larger windows allow for more heat transfer, so bay windows tend to be less energy-efficient due to their size. Finally, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-window-treatments-bay-windows.htm">window treatments for bay windows</a> can be more challenging to find, and they&rsquo;re more expensive than those you&rsquo;d place over standard-sized windows. </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 does a bow window differ from a bay window?

• <div><p>The differences between a bay window versus a bow window involve the number of individual windows and the angle at which both windows extend from the home. A bow window has four to six individual windows that form a curve outside the exterior wall. A bay window usually has two small windows on the edges that angle outward from the exterior wall and a large window in the middle that&rsquo;s parallel to the home&rsquo;s exterior wall.</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 I need a permit to add a window to my house?

• <div><p>Yes, you absolutely need a permit to add a window to your house. Your contractor can likely obtain this permit on your behalf. Ask about this when getting quotes from multiple window contractors.</p></div>

Customers say: Quick response

"Max, Sam, and Pedro did a fantastic job installing plantation shutters in a home we recently purchased. We replaced the curtains in two windows, one of which was a bay window that had severe angles (not so easy for final trim on shutters). Professional Design Center met the install deadline and returned to redo the trim on the bay window after we raised the issue. They went above and beyond what we expected and we are absolutely pleased with their quality, cost, delivery, and professionalism."

"My experience with Raquel and Joseph of Budget Blinds of Mansfield has to be one of the best I have ever had with a 3rd party contractor. They are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and their willingness to ensure that their customers are 200% satisfied with their purchase is commendable. Not to mention extremely affordable. Literally half the cost of paying full retail at say Home Depot or Lowe's.
They completed the install on very short notice to accommodate my hectic schedule, and the blinds look fantastic! My wife and I could not be happier and I highly recommend them above all others for any of your blind or window covering needs!"

"Claude was a total rock star. He was our first visitor in our first home, and what a welcome visitor he was! :) Before visiting our home to take measurements, show us our options, and give us a final estimate, Claude asked for information about our house and windows. When he showed up, turns out I had NO idea what I was talking about, so Claude gently corrected the information I had shared and patiently explained the difference between windows. He provided sage advice but let me make the final decision on all of our options. He delivered exactly what we wanted and increased the property value of our home well beyond the cost of the shutters and installation! Unfortunately, there was a warehouse fire where our shutters were painted, so there was a delay in their delivery and installation. But they were worth the wait! Seriously, my father raves about our shutters. Our cats love our shutters. The seller of the house even loves them and has said he's proud to see us make this house our home with our shutters. We heartily recommend Claude to anyone and everyone. His service and product is worth every penny and then some. :)"
