Video: New Construction Windows vs. Retrofit Windows

The question homeowners face when they replace theirwindows is new construction versus retrofit. There is certain ways to figure which installation method is better for their homes. Let's say, for example, if they have existing leaks, we have to do new construction installation with new flushings to prevent the future leaks and to make sure that we can waterproof the openings and new construction also is great if you want more glass, less frame, if you plan to live in the house not to sell it like for the next 10 years plus, it's also good to do a new construction. aNd the retrofit is the less expensive way to do it. You keep the existing aluminum frames. It's a good option for rentals. Also, it's a great option if you don't have any leaks, you just need to improve Single pane old windows with a new double pane energy efficiency windows. And if you have a small aluminum frames existing, you can install insert windows as a retrofit. That's a great way of improvement on a budget.
