Doors provide more than a functional purpose in your home – they also protect privacy and make an aesthetic statement about its exterior. Furthermore, doors play an essential role in keeping energy costs down; heat loss through old or damaged windows accounts for up to 30% of heating and cooling expenses.
Replacement Windows
Doors can provide shelter from the elements, enhance curb appeal and improve energy efficiency – but to maximize these benefits it’s essential that they are correctly installed by a professional window installation service in Lexington SC to avoid drafts, condensation and increases in heating/cooling costs.
JELD-WEN offers an expansive range of replacement windows and doors designed to fit perfectly into any space in your home, while their insulated frames help reduce heat transfer between indoors and out – keeping your home more comfortable all year round. Plus, with various customization options available you can achieve exactly the look and functionality desired in your space.
Double-hung replacement windows provide more practical designs than their single-hung counterparts as both upper and lower sash can move up and down easily to ventilate your home. To further increase their performance, look for models equipped with low-E glass coatings and argon gas filling to improve insulation properties.
Single-Hung Windows
Single hung windows are an enduringly popular window style in homes of all styles, featuring an upper stationary sash and bottom opening sash that open vertically. They maximize natural light while adding classic charm that works well with many design styles like Colonial, Craftsman and Cape Cod. In addition, their simple operation and lack of protruding outward projection makes single hungs the ideal choice for rooms overlooking porches, patios or walkways.
Single-hung windows can provide cost-effective options for homeowners on a tight budget, yet their single sash makes it harder for ventilation and cleaning compared to double hung models. Therefore, they tend to be selected for ground level rooms or spaces where reaching up might be challenging, such as behind sinks.
Double-hung windows add extra functionality for their owners by enabling them to simultaneously open both upper and lower sashes at the same time, providing cool air into the home while simultaneously releasing rising hot air outside, creating a natural circulation effect. Energy efficient double-hung windows come in materials such as wood, fiberglass and vinyl – energy savings can be considerable!
Insert or Pocket Installation
Pocket replacement involves creating a pocket in an existing frame to accommodate for the new window, saving time and labor by keeping original casing and trim intact. It is ideal for homes that boast charming old frames that homeowners wish to preserve as well as newly constructed homes that don’t experience issues such as leakage. This method may also work well when dealing with damaged casing or trim that has developed leakage problems such as rot.
Selecting the ideal doors for your home can have a profound effect on its aesthetics, security and energy costs. A Lexington door company can assist in finding just the right set of doors to meet your needs and budget – from sturdy exterior to elegant interior doors they have you covered! They specialize in everything from exterior door replacements to window upgrades; so no matter if it is just replacing an existing front door or updating all windows throughout the house; they have just what you need!
Retrofit Installation
Retrofit windows are designed to fit directly into your existing window frame for an easier upgrade than replacing them completely. Retrofitting leaves your casings, jamb extensions and brick mold intact without needing extensive renovation – saving both money and time while lessening disruption to daily life.
Retrofit windows are popular choices among homeowners because they do not damage stucco, siding or plaster on either the inside or exterior surfaces, and perform well in terms of energy efficiency and have safety features that make opening and closing them easier and safer around children.
As a Retrofit Installer Technician, you will work onsite in residential buildings – both indoors and outdoors, under different weather conditions – performing energy efficiency upgrades like insulation and caulking to help reduce energy costs while increasing comfort and safety of homeowners. In addition, you will provide customer education on maintaining upgraded homes.
