Replacement Windows in Connecticut
Installing replacement windows is one of those jobs where professional experience and knowledge are invaluable, and Angie’s List often reminds us of why we DIYers (do-it-yourselfers) need professional help. “Is your home in a historic district or subject to HOA (homeowners association) covenants?” she asks. “While an HOA’s policies . . . might not strictly prohibit window replacement, it may limit your choices of window styles, colors or patterns,” she continues.
Connecticut homes are located in the South – southern New England, that is. They often feature original or replica Victorian or Colonial architecture. Window replacement in Connecticut needs to be handled by a company that understands the housing/construction laws for your community, city, and state as well as conscientiously preserve the integrity of your home’s architecture.
Types of Windows
Once you’ve determined you need replacement windows, you will evaluate which type is best for your home and family. Some of your choices include:
- Aluminum, metal – Durable, but a poor choice for energy efficiency
- Awning – Hinged at the top
- Bay, bow windows – Great for 1800s architecture; adds the illusion of space
- Casement – Open outward, like a door
- Double-hung – Two sashes move up/down easily
- Fiberglass – Very durable and energy conservative
- Fixed – Cannot be opened
- Hopper – Hinged at the bottom
- Horizontal sliders – Sashes open/close horizontally
- Vinyl, PVC – Highly durable and easily maintained. Good choice for home energy efficiency
- Wood – Most difficult to maintain, not as weather-resistant
