One decision that should be handled with some gravity is the company you select when making decisions regarding your cottage’s windows and doors. The reason it holds such weight is that the quality of those fixtures are what help keep the great outdoors out and your family’s thermal comfort in. Great windows and doors ensure that cottages are winterized and great places to gather for hot cocoa by the fireside; they also keep the bugs out in the midst of mosquito season. So the question is, when opting to replace windows and doors, how do you choose the best for your cottage? Well, look no further.
We have done some legwork for you and have some simple tips that will help you make decisions that work for your space.
Think about material
What is the look you are going for? Selecting the right material will help enhance your desired look. Wood needs the most maintenance, but provides great insulation. Vinyl is a practical and cost-effective alternative to wood. Aluminum is humidity resistant, and fibreglass composite is the best of all worlds, offering strength, durability, and energy savings! Remember to do your research and select a material that best suits your climate.
Think about energy efficiency
Windows and doors play a huge role in your heating and cooling bills, so make sure to invest in products that will keep your costs low and comfort high regardless of the time of year! Look for ENERGY STAR products, which prevent heat loss and gain.
Think value over price point
You’ve heard this before: you get what you pay for. But don’t just go for the most expensive option because you think it is the best for you. Remember to ask about features, longevity, efficiency, and what suits your space.
Think about an experienced windows and doors company
This job isn’t one to be DIY or left to the local handyman; get an experienced installer and leave the heavy lifting to them. It will be the most effective way to ensure quality is upheld and extend the lifespan of your windows when properly installed.
