Window Installation
Most good quality windows can last quite long without replacement, but will need constant and careful maintenance. When the window turns drafty and fails to open and close properly, it is time for you to think of installing new windows. You have a number of options that vary from hi-tech to old style wood. Installing new windows can be a manageable task for a person with average DIY skill. However there are a lot of things to consider like the measurements and so on. The size of your window will let you determine the size of the rough opening you need in order to install new windows. The rough size is usually 2-3 inches more than the actual size of the window.
Egress windows allow you to exit your home in the case of an emergency like a fire. It needs to be big enough for firemen to come in and get out, and you need to adhere to building codes when you install an egress window. For instance, if you’re planning to turn your basement into a bedroom, you will need to replace the old window with a much larger egress window. Having to widen or heighten your basement window space to install the new egress window can be an added expense when it involves the safety of your family; but, it’s wiser not to scrimp.
