\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOne of the best upgrades<\/b> you can make to your home for improved energy efficiency, comfort and curb appeal when you are looking to upgrade, is window replacement<\/a><\/span>, especially in northern Virginia. This area has wet summers and cold winters and is subject to significant meteorological variation, so proper choice of windows for your home is necessary. In this blog post we go over how what are the best window replacement options for Northern Virginia homes, focused on energy efficiency, aesthetic value, and durability.\n

Energy-Efficient Windows<\/h2>\nWhen it comes to Northern Virginia Homeowners, temperature extremes are nothing new. Cold winds and snow during winters and hot and humid summers. This is why energy efficient<\/a> windows are the smart thing to have if you want to retain a comfortable indoor climate and keep energy bills under control. The best energy efficient windows are double pane and triple pane windows<\/i>, they are excellent insulators.\n\nOne great feature is low E (low emissivity) glass. Special type of glass that is coated so it reflects heat but lets in natural light. You\u2019ll have a cooler home in the summer and a warmer one in the winter, which, in Northern Virginia<\/b>, is a very big plus.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t

For this reason, vinyl windows are often our top choice to replace the old worn out windows because they are durable<\/b> and low maintenance<\/b>.\u00a0 Moisture resistant vinyl is important in the humid climate of Northern Virginia.<\/p>

Why choose vinyl windows? There are a large variety of color and style choices, chances are you can find a window that exactly matches the appearance of home.<\/p>

Vinyl windows are also energy efficient but even more so when used in conjunction with insulated frames<\/i> and either double or triple glazing. They\u2019re a good match for homeowners who want quality but don\u2019t want to spend a fortune due to the nice balance between cost and performance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you want a window that has a traditional look to it<\/i>, then you would never go wrong with wood clad windows. On the aesthetics side, wood windows present a timeless enhancement to older homes, or a classic complement to newer homes. Northern Virginia has many colonial and craftsman style homes, so wood windows can help keep your home with the architectural integrity of the area, but you still get the benefit<\/b> of modern efficiency.<\/p>

However, wood windows are the kind of windows that require some maintenance. If not coated or painted often, they will get moisture damage.<\/p>

Aluminum clad or vinyl clad wood windows are a compromise for those who like a natural wood look but want low maintenance requirements. The inside is warmth and beauty of wood, the exterior is durable.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t

Fiberglass windows can also be a good choice for high performance, low maintenance windows in some Northern Virginia homes<\/i>.<\/p>

Fiberglass is not as strong as vinyl, it will not warp, expand or contract from temperature changes. In the region’s varying climate, it is suitable.<\/p>

A special feature<\/b> of fiberglass windows is the ability for homeowners to custom paint windows to match the scheme of their home.<\/p>

Additionally, because they are energy efficient and are better insulators than standard vinyl windows, they are also a great choice for homeowners who desire long term performance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

These are composite windows that are a combination of two or more materials (e.g. wood fibers and polymer) to achieve a product that is both strong and low maintenance<\/i>.<\/p>

This makes these windows perfect for the Northern Virginia climate due to the natural look of wood combined with better moisture and rot resistance.<\/p>

Although vinyl windows are generally less expensive than composite windows, composite windows are more durable and energy efficient as well.<\/p>

They are chosen by homeowners who are looking to add value<\/b> and energy performance to their home, for the long term.<\/p>

If you live in Northern Virginia, you may experience occasional bouts of severe weather, and you should consider storm windows as older homes may leak less<\/b> than newer homes.<\/p>

The additional layer of protection is in the former or latter storm windows exterior or interior of your existing windows.<\/p>

Storm windows aren\u2019t a replacement, but they can make a big difference in the energy efficiency of single pane windows and keep drafts and temperature extremes from your home.<\/p>

They are also a cost-effective<\/b> alternative to replacing existing windows outright in order to improve insulation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

However, it\u2019s not just material that you should consider: It is also important what style window is. Double hung windows are easy to clean and they have a classic look, so Northern Virginia homeowners often go with double hung windows<\/a>.<\/p>

The nice thing is that both sashes can open, providing better ventilation, which is appreciated at the milder spring and fall months.<\/p>

Hinged on one side, casement windows<\/a> open outward. They are also better energy efficient than double hung windows when closed, and no other window provides the unobstructed view.<\/p>

Casement windows offer maximum airflow<\/b> and a modern look should your thing be.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t

Considering the special blend of condition<\/i> and buildings\u2019 styles in the Northern Virginia area, for a right window replacement option to feature in, it should fit the blend.<\/p>

If you live in a historic neighborhood you may have to follow certain rules about what your historic home\u2019s windows look like. In these cases wood or wood clad windows may be the best way to keep with the character of your home.<\/p>

If you\u2019re building a new home, then your first concern is probably about energy efficiency, and the best windows for your need will be vinyl, fiberglass or composite.<\/p>

In addition, remember to think about how your windows will look from both the inside and outside of your home so that your window actually compliments the general appearance of your home<\/i>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
