Searching for a double-hung window repair or a casement window installation, or any other window replacement product and service today can be a little bit of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you’ll find no shortage of good replacement window options and installation services from many qualified and experienced professionals. On the other, the sheer number of options can cause what many people call “analysis paralysis,” where people are presented with so many products they can’t make a decision which one to buy.
One important discussion when choosing products is whether you should go for generic replacement windows or name-brand. Here are a few considerations you can keep in mind:
The National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) actually makes the search for replacement window installation products much easier. While a quick Google search for potential replacement candidates can instantly return thousands of results, you can quickly narrow down this list by choosing only those who are rated by the NFRC, ensuring that you’re only getting windows that meet the council’s exacting standards in performance.
Andersen and its replacement window division, Renewal by Andersen®, has earned the title of North America’s leading window company by maintaining a certain quality in all their products. This is one particular advantage many name-brand windows have over smaller brands. The difference in performance, longevity, aesthetics, and overall quality in both the product itself and its installation is definitely noticeable between these two options.
When you’ve recently had a bay, bow, or picture window installation, you want to make sure that it does what it was designed to do. If not, you’re always protected by a warranty. Off-brand window companies may also offer warranties but they may not always be reliable in honoring these warranties should problems arise in their products.
