All Windows Are Not Created Equal - Neither Are Window Retailers

What You Need to Know About Replacing Your Windows

Common Window Replacement Questions Answered by Experts

Replacing windows in your home is a big decision. Navigating between all the different options, materials and styles can be very overwhelming. Whether it's an individual window replacement or part of a larger renovation, the experts at Architectural Visions Inc., in Nashville, TN; answer some common window replacement questions.

Full-Frame vs. Insert Replacement?

Insert windows fit within your existing window opening, keeping the interior and exterior trim of your home intact. Installation is less disruptive and easier than other methods.

Full-frame replacement is typically installed from the outside, the same as in new construction, all of the existing window's exterior trim must be removed and some siding may need to be replaced.

Are there low-maintenance window options available?

Low-maintenance window replacement options are easy. We recommend Integrity from Marvin Windows and Doors. Integrity's Ultrex® fiberglass has a patented finish that is 3x's thicker than the competitors; which ensures a virtually maintenance-free finish that resists cracking, denting, chipping and peeling. Integrity's windows are backed with a 20-year (glass) and a 10-year (manufacturing) warranty.

What kind of energy saving costs can I expect?

Drafty windows can cause your energy bill to be about 10% to 15% higher, according to Energy.gov. Replacing your windows with energy-efficient ones can reduce heating and cooling bills. Additionally, if you're considering listing your home for sale, new windows and the resulting energy cost savings can be a big selling point.

Can I easily match the color or wood of my home?

Yes. We prefer Marvin windows with their all-wood interiors available in 6 species and wood or Aluminum Clad exteriors. Marvin has 19 standard exterior cladding colors or they can custom match any color you want to work with your home's existing color palette.

In addition to the popular Marvin and Integrity windows and doors, the Nashville location also carries the ultra-lux German engineered UNILUX windows and doors and the contemporary styled Western Windows and Doors.
