First and foremost, we like to warn homeowners of the infamous “Beauty Queen” window. These replacement windows look good on paper but are not necessarily the best quality. The unfortunate reality is that not all window products are manufactured in the same way.
What you should look for is the AAMA Gold Label which ensures that you’re getting exactly what you pay for with your new window replacement. The best quality windows are engineered with 100% virgin vinyl to prevent peeling, warping, and flaking from moisture damage. These windows also include an insulated glass package with argon or krypton gas, which helps your home stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Another important consideration is a window’s air infiltration rating, which is key to energy conservation. At Coastal Windows & Exteriors, our replacement windows have a CFM rating of .01 which is 23 times more airtight than the industry average. Learn more about the importance of Air Infiltration.
