JELD WEN Windows Screen
For many people, a window is not merely an opening in a building's or a house's wall. A window brings the sunshine in, gives us a good view of the outside, improves air circulation, and allows the passage of sound.
In Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", Juliet often appears at the window when Romeo calls her name from the pavement below. In the fairy tale "Rapunzel", Rapunzel was able to let her prince inside the tower through the window.
Centuries ago, windows were literally just holes in the wall. Later on, people started making covers for these holes in their walls using materials ranging from wood to animal hide. As one would imagine, shutters came next, and over time, a number of window designs with various functions came into existence.
Whether you are building a new home or want to replace your old windows, it is important to spend some time shopping for this integral part of your home. This activity can be overwhelming though considering that there are so many styles available and that they are made out of so many different materials too.
What Types of Windows are There?
Experts say that the first thing to do is to determine what window design best fits your home and your style. Once that is done, you would have to choose from different frame and sash materials. Wood and vinyl are two of the most popular materials. Wood is a great choice because it provides good insulation apart from looking beautiful. The only reason why many homeowners steer clear of windows with wooden frames is the maintenance involved. Wood also rots when not properly cared for so this can be a major drawback. Vinyl windows, in comparison, are practically maintenance free and provide great insulation for the home. They are also quite affordable.
What type of glass options do you need? Double, Single, Or Triple?
The next step is to look for the right window glass. Homeowners can choose between Low Emissivity Glass and Impact Resistant Glass. Low-E reduces heat flow through the glass while Impact Resistant Glass does not shatter. Homeowners should also look for energy efficient glass to save energy in the long term.
