what you need to know about replacement windows there are many reasons canadians decide to replace their existing windows foggedup glass rotting and cracked frames drafty and inoperable sashes are just some of the issues that top the list despite rising energy costs and envi ronmental awareness architectural details and style are stronger motives for some thankfully with todays energy efficient windows consumers shouldnt have to choose style over performance replacement windows and doors are now available in a wider variety of materials and finishes than ever before fiberglass and composite materials are the relative newcomers but vinyl and wood products still dominate the market choosing the right product is still only one of many choices the consumer must make many home improvement compa nies favor an insert style of installation where the new win dow is fastened directly into the old window frame this is a quicker and less expensive option because very little carpentry is involved the preferred installation involves removing the entire window to the rough opening and replacing everything including the interior mouldings older homes with large mouldings or brick and block construction may be better with the insert method a reputable company should be able to inform the homeown er of their options and provide solutions that perform well and add to the homes architecture a good window is only as good as its installation so always check references and if possible visit completed projects fieldstone windows ltd takes pride in their quality products
