re: Replacement windows for Home

Are you sure they need to be replaced?
If the frames are in good shape, I’d recommend trying to just reglaze them. It may not be an option depending on the frames, but def. worth looking into. Companies make more money selling you new retrofit windows so they may not be discussing the re-glazing option. It is far better to keep the home/building’s original frame, pull the seals off, pop the panes out and replace the panes with new seals. It’s a 3rd of the cost and you greatly reduce the chances of water intrusion.
