You have the option to get your windows replaced while keeping the frames on them. An insert window is a window replacement that fits into your frame. The design preserves the original appearance of your window.
An insert window is a cheaper option for a window replacement as you will use the existing wood or metal borders around the window. You can use this for cases where the glass part of the window has been damaged or you simply need something that might be thicker or capable of insulating your home a little better.
But you must also look at a few things when getting an insert window ready:
- Look at how well the body of the frame is aligned. A broken or cracked frame might have to be replaced altogether with a full-frame window.
- See if the insert windows are capable of fitting into your frame. A thicker or double-glazed option might not fit into all frames.
- See if the new window can align itself along with any control features on the window frame. These include features for opening and locking the window.
- Check out how well an insert can feature indentations, curves, or other decorative features. This applies to front door windows and other predominantly decorative spaces.
Look at how well an insert window can work for your window replacement demands. Make sure the window can fit well and that your surface is capable of handling it, so your window will work accordingly for your property.
