Helpful tip: Use photos of what you like
Sometimes choosing a window or a door comes down to a matter of personal preference. Most window and door manufacturers have websites with photo galleries available online or you can download their product catalogs where you can see many architectural styles in one place. These galleries and catalogs not only offer inspiration, but can be a good place to see what others have done. What we have found helpful is to bring photos of what you like and even what you don’t like when we meet for your consultation.

Remodeled San Francisco row house with new windows and doors from South City Lumber & Supply

“Dave was professional, timely, efficient, effective, ethical, and honest. He also provided great advice as to the types of windows that work best at different locations of the building. We found his advice extremely valuable and helpful because my family and I have no expertise in the selection of the best windows and doors; so, working with Dave was a blessing.”

What to consider when buying windows

New windows will enhance the look of your home and improve personal comfort through energy efficiency while controlling the noise of the city. Remember, windows not only provide lighting and ventilation, they also control heating and cooling as an integral part of a passive solar home design. And if you’re planning for new construction, the concept is to select, orient and size glass to minimize solar heat gain in the summer and maximize it in the winter. When it comes to buying a window here are a few things to consider:

Style - The way a window looks and operates should be in keeping with the architectural style of your home and your personal taste. There are traditionally six window styles to choose from; double hung, casement, sliding or glider, awning, hopper, and fixed or picture.

Double Hung - A common window design where both sashes slide vertically in a double hung window and only the bottom sash slides upward in a single hung window.

Casement - Hinged at the sides and opening outward, casements generally have a tight seal because the sash closes securely by pressing against the window frame minimizing air leakage.

Sliding - In a single sliding window only one sash slides horizontally and both sashes slide horizontally in a double sliding window.

Awning - Hinged at the top and opening outward at the bottom. They have a tight seal because the sash closes by pressing against the frame.

Hopper - Hinged at the bottom and opening inward at the top. Like awning and casement windows, the sash closes by pressing against the frame forming a tight seal.

Fixed - Fixed panes that don’t open, are airtight, and come in many shapes and sizes — a large picture window is great for enjoying a view. A fixed window can also be used in combination with other window styles should your design include a wall of windows or you require room ventilation.

Materials - The type of material used in the construction of the window frame determines how the window will perform, how long it will last, and how it looks on the inside and outside. Frame materials in use today are wood, fiberglass, aluminum and vinyl. Keep in mind each material insulates differently and contributes to the overall energy efficiency of the window. Also, some window manufacturers use a combination of materials, like a wood interior for appearance and a fiberglass exterior for durability and low maintenance. Exterior metal cladding is also available for wood and some vinyl windows providing additional protection from the elements with virtually no maintenance required.

Features - Features and upgrades can add that custom look or personal touch to any window project. From the addition of grills and divided lites to bring out the best of a window design and add curb appeal, to hardware choices that compliment your décor and provide ease of operational use. Upgrades can also include glazing options, exotic wood species and finishes, from pre-finished to primed and ready to paint.

With so many things to consider when choosing a window or patio door, it’s nice to know that our window and door experts are familiar with the products we carry and are just a phone call or email away. Give us a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Low-Emissivity or Low-E insulating glass helps reduce energy consumption while keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. In summer Low-E glass reflects the sun’s energy preventing it from transferring heat into your home, while in the winter Low-E glass reduces heat loss by reflecting it back into the house.

Low-E coatings are invisible, microscopically thin layers of metal or metallic oxide applied directly to the surface of the glass to control heat transfer through insulated glass. Windows with Low-E coatings perform very well in colder weather (U-Factor) and have enhanced performance in summer (SHGC - Solar Heat Gain Coefficient).

When choosing windows the U-Factor is the insulating quality that keeps you warm in cold weather and the lower the number the better the window is at keeping heat in. The SHGC is the reflective quality that keeps you cooler in the summer by keeping solar heat out, the lower the number the better the window is at blocking the sun. How much light a window lets in is the VT or Visible Transmittance and the higher the number the more light you will see.

Today’s ENERGY STAR rated windows use the latest in dual-pane glass technology; including Low-E coatings, inert gas fills and edge spacer technology to help improve personal comfort and maximize your heating and cooling costs to save you money, and reduce your home’s carbon footprint.
