Looking for the Right Pane?

A critical factor in the efficiency of a home is the type, size, and placement of windows through out the rooms.  A good builder will discuss with you what is best for your home.  While the number of windows on the house plan may look good, those may not fit with your specific lot or the situation of your home on that lot.  More windows does not always equal a better home.

When you consider your window choices, it is also important to factor in the weather conditions for the region in which your new home is being built.

There are many different types of windows available on the market: single hung, double hung, casement, sliding, fixed are just some of the types offered.  Be sure to ask you builder what kind he uses and why.  

Some builders make their window pane choice based on which will cause the least amount of pain to the their bottom line...  But as has been stated before:  You get what you pay for!


You can avoid the painful cost of having to prematurely replace your inferior window panes by understanding the best choice for your new home upfront.  Look to your builder for good advice...and see more about the world of windows here: http://www.atrium.com/
