When preparing for your window replacement project, one of the things that you should thoroughly plan for is your budget. Several things could influence the final costs of the job, so you have to review the details one by one to avoid costly mishaps during the project.
Here are some of the factors that could affect window replacement cost.
Type of Installation
For window replacement projects, you can opt for a retrofit installation or a full-frame installation. With a full-frame installation, your old window would have to be removed completely before the new one can be installed. Meanwhile, a retrofit requires inserting the new window into the existing frame. Because there is more work and materials involved in full-frame installations, they usually cost more than retrofits.
Double Pane or Triple Pane
Double-pane windows are typically more affordable than triple-pane windows. However, this does not necessarily mean that double-pane windows are less effective or less energy-efficient. Depending on your local climate, the difference in the performance and energy efficiency of double-pane windows and triple-pane windows can be negligible or significant. If you live in a cold climate, your window contractor will likely recommend triple-pane windows since these windows can better protect your interior from the cold outside and retain the warmth inside your home.
Location
The placement of your windows could also have an impact on their prices. Living room windows, for instance, are usually bigger than the windows in other rooms since living rooms have wider floor area. For bathrooms, smaller windows are usually enough as privacy in this room should be considered. That said, you can expect living room windows to cost more than bathroom windows.
