Window Replacement
When shopping for replacement windows for your home, keep in mind that our climate conditions here in the interior are quite unique. We live in conditions that can give you a 100 degree temperature change within a week. At first glance windows from the lower 48 may look similar to the windows manufactured here in Alaska. When temperatures hit 50 below the difference becomes very clear! Understanding what type of windows that will suit your needs and budget is critical. Here are some very important factors to look for when considering window replacements.
Frame Material Types Frame Insulation Double / Triple Pane Glazing Options Spacer Material Types Adequate air space between each layer of glass Low-E / Argon Filled R Value Hardware / Hinges Correct Installation for Type of Window Warranty
Technology has come a long way in the world of window manufacturing. Windows can now be designed for specific conditions. Choosing a window that is manufactured to withstand the weather conditions of the interior of Alaska is critical. Having a proper installation is just as critical. Don't spend good money on great windows to only have them installed improperly. Take the time to investigate frame and glass warranties. If while you're shopping for windows you hear "ours are just as good", ask them to qualify that statement and explain how and why. Take the time to educate yourself, don't just purchase the first window you see.

The drywall around the openings appeared to be in good condition, but underneath the framing was saturated. This can cause many more costly problems such as mold, rotted framing, insulation damage, drywall damage. The best windows you can afford could actually cause more damage if not installed correctly.
