The thickness of the window pane is one of the factors that affect the cost to replace windows. While it might make sense financially to install single-pane windows, they are not very energy efficient. Double or triple-pane windows can be filled with special inert gasses that are perfectly safe and will increase their insulation. Low-E coatings can be applied to the glass to prevent heat transfer. Together, these two upgrades can prevent condensation, help maintain a steady and comfortable indoor temperature and protect your home from damaging ultraviolet light. Additionally, triple or double pane windows help reduce noise pollution.
The type of material from which the window frame is designed has a direct impact on the cost of window replacement. Vinyl windows are the most energy-efficient and can lower your energy costs overall. Wood window frames are stylish, but not energy efficient and require a lot of upkeep. Aluminum and fiberglass windows are always an option but if you are looking to lower energy bills, vinyl windows are the way to go.
The style of the window is another factor that affects the final cost of replacement windows. Single or double-hung windows are less expensive than casement or awning windows but not as energy efficient. And aesthetically pleasing windows such as picture windows or bow and bay windows will cost more due to their overall design. Custom-made windows will of course increase the cost of window replacement.
Another determining factor for replacement window cost is the installation method. If you only need to replace the window pane, the cost will definitely be lower. However, for full window replacement, which includes the pane, frame, jambs, and so on, you can expect to pay more.
Of course, upgrades will add to your final cost of window replacement. Features such as stained glass, tinted or frosted glass are more expensive. As well, window grills will up the total. Windows with multiple locks will increase both home safety and window cost. Custom design windows such as semi-circles, octagons and the like will incur additional costs. Features such as tempered glass for added security can also contribute to your final cost.
