Windows are essential to a home’s comfort and function, but sometimes they get damaged and need replacing. Choosing replacement windows means weighing material, style, and energy performance, not just picking the first option you see. Salt Lake City Windows and Doors offers a range of products and warranties to help you make the right choice.
Vinyl Windows
A new window installation is a major investment for homeowners, and it’s worth comparing your options carefully to get the best value. Choosing the most energy-efficient windows helps lower utility bills and improve overall home comfort.
Your replacement windows should complement the style and architecture of your home, so it’s worth paying close attention to composition and design before deciding.
We offer vinyl windows in a variety of stylistic options to complement any house design, including single hung, casement, and horizontal sliders. Many come with modern locking hardware that lets in fresh air while keeping the cold out, along with coatings that minimize harmful UV rays and reduce noise transmission.
Wood Windows
Known for their timeless appeal, wood replacement windows are often chosen for colonial and craftsman-style homes. They require regular maintenance to prevent rot and warping, and need to be protected from Utah’s varying climate to maintain their integrity and insulation properties.
We offer clad wood and aluminum window options built for Salt Lake City’s unique weather conditions, durable and offering superior insulation, available in a variety of colors and textures to complement any home’s aesthetic.
We also offer insert installation, a window replacement type that’s more affordable than a complete tear-out and can be done within existing frames. It’s best for homeowners who need to maintain their home’s exterior appearance due to preservation guidelines or historical restrictions.
Composite Windows
Many homes in Salt Lake City have old windows, and upgrading them can increase energy efficiency and make the home more comfortable. Installing new windows isn’t as simple as pointing at one you like, though, it requires planning and forethought to choose the right type.
Composite windows combine the durability of different materials to resist warping and reduce air leakage more effectively than some single-material frames. Look for ENERGY STAR certified options to improve your home’s energy efficiency further.
Aluminum Windows
Aluminum windows are lightweight and have slim frames that allow more natural light into the house. They also offer a modern aesthetic and are resistant to rust and corrosion, making them a good option for contemporary or industrial-style homes.
Double-hung windows have two sashes that move up and down, offering ventilation and making cleaning easy, and are available in aluminum along with other frame materials to suit your style. You can learn more about how frame materials affect performance from the U.S. Department of Energy’s guide to window types.
Choosing the Right Window Installer
Many older homes have single-pane windows that don’t insulate as well as they should, leading to higher energy bills, which is why it’s worth upgrading sooner rather than later. It’s a good idea to check what framing materials a company works with, since each type has distinct price points, life spans, and energy performance capabilities.
Look for a company with a strong warranty covering products, parts, and labor, and one that’s willing to show you examples of past projects. Our window installation team is happy to walk you through our own process and past work before you commit to a project, so you know exactly what to expect.
We also offer replacement windows for homeowners looking to update just a few windows rather than a full-home project.
