You can choose from many types of windows. You can opt for energy-efficient windows, soundproof or even those with increased resistance to burglary. If you want to lower your heating bills which most of do, buy energy-efficient windows. In this case, you should pay attention to the heat transfer coefficient for the whole window In practice, however, when this parameter is lower, the more heat will be inside the  home. If you live on a busy street or near the railroad tracks, look for windows with increased sound insulation. About how much noise will stop window refers to the ratio expressed in decibels. If you want your house to be as quiet, choose the model with the highest coefficient Rw, for example, Rw = 43 dB.

• Is it possible to change the size of the window?

The lintel is a reinforced wall element, which is located directly above the window. This element carries all the burden of the higher parts of the walls and ceiling. You can also insert a window smaller than before, the header does not require a rebuild. Usually it is enough to faced it to the appropriate size and surface finish. To complete the wall material should be used similar to those from which the wall is made.
Most, however use the same dimensions as the exisiting. The external dimension of the new profile should be about 3-6 cm smaller than the window opening. This way you can effectively seal the window.
