Replacement Windows

We were able to cross one more big project off of our list today: Replacement windows. I wish you could hear the difference between a poorly sealing window and a really well sealed window. We used to be able to hear the fan motor for our Radon system and the cars passing by, but not anymore. What a difference!

When these guys showed up, they wasted no time getting started. I had to run to get one last shot of the house "before", because as you can see the removal of the old windows had already started.
Our new windows!

The old three-panel kitchen window, "before".

One of the last pictures I took of the old windows. (Sniff)
There was a bit of a mess in the front yard while they two installers removed all of the previous windows. As you can see Andrew was the chief supervisor today.

The bay window went in very quickly. I will have to take more pictures of the final product later this week when the lighting is better.
As you can see we went for as minimal a projection as possible with the bay window as not to take too much away from the deck space.

  1. Unlike the old three-panel windows in your kitchen, you can now see the outside world clearer with your new bay windows. Aside from that, it made your kitchen brighter because more natural light is allowed inside. I'm sure your new front windows will also be as beautiful as your kitchen windows once they are installed.

  2. What type of glass did you use for the replacement window? Is it vinyl? Aluminum? I actually have my windows replaced with aluminum; it definitely does a great job in blocking out the noise. It’s quieter inside the house since I had them replaced. :)

  3. I love bay windows! The aesthetic appeal they add to your home is terrific. Looking from the exterior, the gleaming glass gives the home a clean, contemporary look. While from the inside, it provides a spacious and elegant look. =)

  4. You’re right, Waldemar. Bay windows have a lot to offer your home, from aesthetics to efficiency. Unlike traditional windows, bay windows consist of three glass panels that are fitted together in perfect different angles. Therefore, the room will be brighter, more open, and more welcoming. Good choice!

  5. Transforming your window into a bay window is a good investment. I’m certain the window renovation created a welcoming touch that no furniture set or carpet replacement could ever match! =)

  6. That beautiful house deserves to have a window setup that looks just as elegant. Aside from that, it should be functional and durable too. And yes, the transformation turned out really great! Congratulations to everyone who worked hard to make this project possible. Cheers! =)

  7. Bay windows not only enhance the appearance of a room; they provide numerous benefits that are unseen by the naked eye. A few of the benefits of bay windows range from aesthetics to efficiency. The design of bow windows causes them to protrude from the outer wall of the building.
