What Goes Into Window Replacement?
If those energy bills are high or if you’re simply not happy with the appearance of your windows, it’s time to consider a replacement. For homeowners, the most important step in the replacement window process is to become informed prior to their purchase. Too often, we hear from customers who have previously hired another company without learning much about the windows they paid for them to install. Here’s our list of the top mistakes not to make when buying replacement windows for your home.
Make A Match
If you don’t intend on replacing all of your windows at the same time and are just looking to replace them in a few rooms of your home, you’ll want to make sure that your replacement windows match as closely to the existing ones as possible. This is particularly true for the frames. Often, looking at a catalog or simply visiting a showroom isn’t enough to help you visualize what your new windows will look like once installed in your home. Window World offers an online visualizer tool to help you best predict what your window replacement will look like upon completion. Additionally, when we come out to perform an estimate, we can help match your new windows to your existing ones. Curious about our colors and custom window options?

Window Replacement Materials Matter
There are a lot of options out there when it comes to replacing your home’s windows. However, lots of homeowners make the mistake of committing to existing window materials without realizing that environmental factors, wear and tear, and lack of energy efficiency can seriously diminish the life of more fragile window materials, including wood.
Window World of Little Rock is proud to offer vinyl windows, the most energy-efficient window material on the market. They are easy to care for, and your energy bills will reflect the quality of a vinyl window replacement.
Take Care
Are your windows easy to clean? Our double-hung vinyl windows tilt for easy maintenance! This is an option you won’t get with single-hung windows, as they are fixed in place. Ours have a vertically-stacked, tilt-in sash that allows for simple cleaning. This is especially convenient for homeowners whose homes have more than one floor.
What About That View?
Take advantage of your beautiful landscaping or outdoor scenery by choosing new windows for your home that accentuate your view. We have various window options, such as bay and bow or picture windows, that’ll do just that. But what if you are trying to disguise what’s outside that window? We offer windows with grid lines that take the focus away from what’s outside, like an unsightly outdoor air conditioning unit.
Technical Terminology
There’s a lot of jargon in the window industry, and we find consumers get overwhelmed by all of the terminologies. Rest assured, we make sure that our customers fully understand what their replacement window process entails, making sure that all of your questions are completely answered and that you know what to expect.
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency might very well be the most important factor when choosing replacement windows for your home, especially considering our climate. Here at Window World of Little Rock, we offer SolarZone, the best-insulated glass in the industry. This version of Low-E glass is designed for superior thermal performance. It blocks heat from the sun’s rays in the summertime while allowing warmth into your home during the wintertime. Explore more about our energy-efficient windows today.
