Your house is made up of many important things; in fact, if you take one out of the equation, it will all fall apart. However, the most important part of your house is your windows. Many say that windows are a window into the heart of the soul (pun intended). Sadly, if the windows are outdated or do not do their job well, it may spoil the image of your home.

It is at those times you will want to consider replacing your windows. Of course, it may be wise to replace them anyways if you are remodeling or upgrading to newer technology like energy efficient windows.

Latest Technology Trends in Windows

It may surprise you, but there has been a lot of development in window technology. What was once a transparent barrier now has surprising levels of utility. Let us take a look at some recent developments.

One of the major developments has been in energy efficient windows. These are multi-chambered pocketed frames that help stop air leaks. They are designed to adapt to outside temperatures and keep the outside air from getting in. These frames help get energy bills down as they help maintain internal temperatures much more efficiently.

Another major development has been in solar radiation blocking blinds. This technology helps absorb the sun’s heat so that your home can remain cooler during summer. It adds another level of insulation so that air from inside your home does not go out. This again translates to lower energy bills as your air conditioning or HVAC unit does not have to work as hard to cool your home. Low-e glass that comes with new replacement windows will also dangerous UV rays out of the home.

The most important new technology has to be dual and triple pane windows. The latter is the most advanced form of window you can get right now, and it offers up a whole host of benefits. The biggest one is higher energy efficiency performance as triple pane windows have way more gas fill. They also reduce condensation on glass as it offers better insulation value. They are also more soundproof, meaning you get to reduce outside noise, and people outside do not get to hear what you are listening to or talking about.

Window Glass Replacement or Full Replacement?

So, you have decided it is time to put new technology to work for your home and replace your windows. However, do you just replace the window glass or the full window itself? That is something you will need to decide taking a couple of factors into account.

The first thing to realize is just how difficult replacing a full window is. You have to take out all the glass and intermediate film layers along with the metal frame it is mounted in with seal and inert gas. Now that is just the beginning, and there is a whole lot more to the process.

Keeping that in mind, the cost is also a whole lot more if you want to replace the full window. Not only do you have to pay for new materials, you will have to also install it. It does not stop at one window either: you may have to replace a number of windows or maybe all the windows throughout your home.

As a proud homeowner you may consider doing the task yourself, especially if you are technically inclined and are handy with tools. However, it is much easier and often cheaper to get a trained window installer like https://www.longmontwindowcompany.com. They are fully trained and will do a much more professional job in tearing out and installing a new window.

If you decide to do it yourself, you will need a number of special tools, such as safety glasses, caulk gun, pry bar, waterproof shims, and others. You will also need the know-how for these tools, as well as the time to carry out the project yourself. It will take a lot of time, energy, and training to get this done yourself, which is why it is a better idea to hire a licensed window contractor.
