If your house needs custom fit windows, it can be a bit more challenging than just making a quick order at your nearest home supply store. However, it isn’t an impossible endeavor. You simply need to understand the process of ordering custom windows, so you’re ready for the road ahead. That’s where we can help.
Are you building a new space, remodeling, or replacing windows?
Depending on your answer to this question, the process changes. If you are replacing or remodeling a space, you will typically order a window that has the same specifications of your old window. With a new space, you will have a much larger range of options when it comes to your windows.
What is the window being installed?
The person working with you on the custom window will need to know this information. They need to have an understanding of the orientation and placement of the window to make sure the chosen window perfectly fits the space that is intended for it. This can impact energy efficiency, ventilation, and level of light.
What window style do you most like?
A window may not be something you think about, but it is an aspect of the home that has a lot of influence on your comfort. You want to show your home’s architectural style, but you also want to be sure the window fits your own personal style and flair. This might mean doing a little research on types of windows and seeing which you find more visually appealing.
Do be aware that some features and options of windows will vary depending on the manufacturer. There may also be special regulations that you are required to consider. In an area with lots of hurricanes, there may be a special glaze that is used to coat windows to prevent wind damage to the home. A window specialist can make you aware of these things.
What size window are you looking for?
The size of the window will have an influence on what features are available so make sure to do measurements. In order to have all the information needed for a specialist, take down the heights from sill to top, the width between the jambs, and any other special measurements that may be needed.
