Style
Notes:
- A window can look great in the display at the home improvement store or in online examples, but it must look right in your home to be the right choice for you. Be sure to have an in-depth conversation with the sales associate about the intended style of the windows you choose.
- Choosing a window based strictly on how it looks in a sales environment can leave you with a mismatch at home. Take some pictures some and walk the house with them. Consult with an interior designer if you want some expert help.

Energy efficiency
Notes:
- Windows can really make you or break you in terms of energy consumption. Well-insulated windows with multiple panes and efficient frames will reduce the amount of air movement from inside to out, keeping your expensive climate-controlled air inside where it belongs.
- However, insulation is just one piece of the puzzle. The size and degree of tinting, if any, on a window will also determine how much solar energy you can keep out in the summer and allow in during the winter.
- These might seem like small changes. However, they can make a big difference in both your energy consumption and your bills.

Accessories
Notes:
- The new windows you choose will have many options for accessories. Some will have more elaborate trim, while others will be installed ready for you to provide full trim yourself.
- You also have certain styles that will look better with shutters, as opposed to more contemporary designs that are best suited for installation without shutters.
- Look through product literature for photos of completed projects for an idea of how the final project will look. You might walk away with best overall selection.

Ease of cleaning
Notes:
- Is there any more universal disclaimer than “I don’t do windows”? For homes with multiple stories or particularly large windows, cleaning is a major consideration in what type of window you choose.
- Many designs now include the tilt-in configuration that permits cleaning from inside the living space, but windows in vaulted rooms or atria will still require ladders for cleaning. Take this opportunity to make a new window cleaning plan.
- Most experts recommend a full window clean twice a year.

Security
Notes:
- Sadly, crime must always be a consideration for your windows. Think about the locking mechanisms and how the overall design and installation will complicate or simplify a thief’s attempts to force entry.
- No window is fully burglar-proof, but if it takes too long to get in, the perpetrator will give up and move to an easier target. A security system can help you keep your home extra safe as well.
- FINAL COMMENTSAn upgrade in windows can reduce your energy costs, improve security, simplify cleaning, and add value to your home. Choosing the right windows is key to making the most of this project. Consider the above tips and consult with experts to figure out what is best for you.
