Warranty on new windows can provide peace of mind; but what does that entail exactly?
Answering that question depends entirely upon your window selection. When purchasing windows, buyers should carefully consider design elements, energy use/labeling issues, warranty information and installation. A window with good aesthetics and energy performance can add significant value to a home while one with inferior qualities could actually reduce it.
Harness Natural Light
One of the best ways to brighten and warm up any home is through natural lighting. Optimizing window space, keeping them free of obstructions, and selecting appropriate window treatments all help bring in additional sunlight into open-concept homes for a brighter, cozier atmosphere.
New homes and remodels with an emphasis on energy efficiency have given rise to an upsurge in interest for replacement windows that feature an attractive modern aesthetic, such as slimline frames or Colonial-style windows without muntins (horizontal and vertical grids that split a pane of glass into sections) as well as options made with aluminum-clad exteriors for value while maintaining an upscale appearance.
To maximize the natural lighting in any room, it's essential that light-colored paint and flooring reflect and intensify it. Clearing away clutter around windows as well as furniture that obstruct views can greatly enhance clients' experiences of their homes.
Complement Your Home’s Interior and Exterior
Home replacement windows offer plenty of design choices for homeowners looking for replacements, from frame materials and sash styles, to customization features such as frame profiles. There are plenty of ways that new windows can become uniquely your own!
Window colors should match both your home's interior and exterior to achieve an aesthetically pleasing effect. Select hues a few shades lighter than wall color for an effective tone-on-tone effect; too similar may overwhelm a room and detract from its natural beauty.

Incorporate Plants
Add planters to your replacement windows for an instant burst of color and life! However, keep in mind that plants require care and attention; for an easier option consider pairing planters with decorative items such as birch logs, battery-operated LED mini-lights (great way to add year round color pops!), Christmas decorations, fairy garden pieces or other festive accessories that add flair.
Some replacement window manufacturers provide lifetime warranties; however, you should read carefully= the fine print as "lifetime" may just mean that the manufacturer's warranty will transfer to a subsequent owner should you decide to sell your home. Also keep in mind that any coverage provided should cover small defects and malfunctioning hardware within an agreed upon timeframe.
Create a Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Flow
Imagine making your home feel more connected and unifying instead of disjointed; replacement windows may help you achieve this goal. However, it is essential to carefully evaluate all available options, such as material type and warranty coverage before making a final decision.
Choose windows made of quality material is just as essential to their design as selecting them for their appearance. Look for product warranties with long-term protection as well as workmanship guarantees to make sure that replacement windows are properly installed.
Workmanship warranties cover small defects in installation, such as inconsistent color characteristics. They may also cover broken or malfunctioning hardware. Energy-efficient windows utilize inert gases such as argon or krypton between panes to reduce air leakage and cut heating/cooling costs; typically these gases last years before depleting quickly - however if that were ever to occur under warranty coverage it may provide protection.
