How to choose the best windows for

your Los Angeles home

Dec 6 - 2021 | Every day becomes brighter and more comfortable if your windows function well and match the design of your home. However, there is such a wide variety of window types available that it is hard to ensure that you are choosing the right one for your Los Angeles home. While shopping for the new windows, consider the factors below, and the process will become easier.

5 important things to keep in mind while shopping for your windows
There are multiple benefits to replacing your old and outdated windows. New quality windows will enhance your Los Angeles home's beauty and energy efficiency, but you also have to consider your budget and your lifestyle. While every house is unique, the five things below will help you decide what windows exactly you are looking for and what windows are right for your remodeling project.

• Do the Windows Match Your Lifestyle?
First and foremost, keep the people, things, and places in your life in mind when deciding on the new windows. Your lifestyle should come first, and it is always the number one factor to think about while shopping for windows. Which rooms are the windows going to? How are those spaces function? Do you need blinds and shades? Are there any children or pets? (If you have kids or animals, you might consider between-the-glass blinds or shades.) Do you redecorate frequently? Los Angeles does not get too cold, but some areas see extreme temperatures in the summertime. The climate you live in can help determine what type of glass will make your windows the most energy-efficient for your home.

• What is the Budget for New Windows?
Until you have a particular product and installation method in mind, it's hard to estimate the total cost of your window project. A lot of things go into determining the cost of the windows. Consider their size, window frame materials, and additional features. Free in-home consultation would give you the best idea of what a new window will cost. At Wintorium Windows and Doors, always remember to ask about special financing offers or seasonal promotions to help you save.

• What Window Materials Are There?
The type of material you want for your new or replacement windows is another important consideration during the window shopping process. At Wintorium, we carry multiple top window brands and window product lines that offer windows in three popular materials. Each material offers different benefits as well as features and options.

• Wooden windows have a natural look. They create warmth and can be painted or stained. You can paint them any color that complements the style of your home.
• At Wintorium, we carry fiberglass windows that deliver unmatched strength and lasting durability. It's a thermoset material, meaning it won't melt or break down when exposed to environmental temperature swings.
• Vinyl is an energy-efficient material that offers affordable quality at a budget-friendly price.

• Window Types
Choose the window type and material that best suits your style and your home. There are awning, casement, sliding, bay, bow windows, single-hung and double-hung windows, picture windows, and custom unique shape windows. If you're not sure which window type to choose, don't worry – a Wintorium Window and Door expert can help match you with the right window.

• Window Features and Options
You can customize your window with options that bring added beauty and enhanced performance. Consider how different window colors and finishes will look in your home or play up a particular style with on-trend brass, nickel, or matte black hardware. Select grille patterns that complement the architecture of your home and glass options that enhance overall energy efficiency.
