Question 3: How many screws do you use in every window? Why: Screws help hold the window in place. Our competition typically uses 4 screws on every window. Our Answer: We use 6-10 screws per window. The exact number is determined by the type and size of window. |
Question 4: How precise are your window measurements? Why: The smaller increments windows are measured in the more glass space the windows will have. Most window companies measure to the half inch. Our Answer: We measure to one eighth of an inch. Especially when it comes to retrofit windows it is crucial that window openings be measured at this scale. |
Question 5: What type of caulk do you use and has it been tested to be safe for the windows? Why: The type of caulk used is vital to the longevity of your windows. The wrong caulk can eat away at the flashing on your windows and can also result in water leakage. Our Answer: We primarily use Novaflex caulk or Sikaflex caulk. In special circumstances we use a combination of the two. We have done our own in-house testing to determine that these are the best caulk brands to be used with your windows. |
Bonus Question: How often do you have to service leaking windows that you have installed? Why: This is the most important question. Windows that leak are a headache to both the property owner and the installer. Our Answer: In over 15 years of installing windows we have never had a window leak due to faults in the installation process. Most companies offer a two year warranty on their installation, we offer a lifetime warranty. We stand behind our installers and the quality of their work. |
