The Benefits of Chicago Sliding Windows

Written by Envy Home Services on September 6, 2011 — Leave a Comment

It is possible to completely alter the look of your home by making a couple simple changes. This can occur inside and out by adding or replacing Chicago windows. When looking to add beauty and functionality to your Chicago home your number one choice in window replacement is Envy Home Services. Not only are we the experts in home services and remodeling, we also offer a superior selection of window choices and options.

There are a number of window selections that can add a lot to your Chicago home, including transforming the outside appearance or making your home more functional. But with all of the choices, which one best suits your needs and budget? Envy Home Services can help guide you to find the right choice that fits you, and for many homeowners, the sliding window is the ideal window of choice.

Constructed with the same durable fusion welding as Envy’s double-hung windows, slider windows offer many benefits over the traditional window. For your Chicago home, slider windows are a great match because they open with a glide on window frames in a very convenient and efficient way. In addition to this, the slider offers many other benefits over the more outward opening traditional window.

One aspect to consider regarding the sliding style of windows is they do not include the pulleys and springs that a more conventional window might use. The basic components of traditional windows can fail over time with wear and this adds to the cost, maintenance, and over all long term price of the basic window.

In addition to these facts the slider also will have a window glazing that adds to the over all durability. These low maintenance and cost-effective windows are easy to operate and have a higher functionality. For example, the window glazing will reduce UV ray infiltration into your Chicago home and will safeguard the health of your family, as well as the wellbeing of your home. For further functionality, the slider window makes it far easier to install an insect screen which will make for added comfort.

As for appearances, the sliding window from Envy Home Services gives a substantially more modern look and feel, and they allow for a convenient breeze that will casually move through your Chicago home. This is also the ideal window replacement choice when you are attempting to address a hard to reach area. For example you can add a slider window over a sink with 2 or 3 lights which could potentially replace several windows with one large sliding window.

The premium virgin vinyl is completely maintenance free and the heavy-duty wool weather stripping removes all draft. An added bonus is the revolutionary Heat Shield with Argon gas which is unsurpassed in energy efficiency and our steel reinforced vinyl and fusion weld sash and frame are the ultimate in durability and strength.

When considering taking the important step to Chicago window replacement, consider going with the professionals at Envy Home Services who know their windows and know how to do right for their beloved customers. Envy can help you find the right fit for your needs, and their selection can not be beat.

How to Choose the Best Replacement Windows in Chicago

Written by Envy Home Services on August 15, 2011 — Leave a Comment

Chicago is notorious for it’s extreme weather, and when you are considering which replacement window for this area is the best there are three important things to keep in mind. With such factors as budget, climate, the size and design of your home, and your area all determining what you should choose from, the following guide will help give some insight into what to look for.

1. One important factor that makes a large distinction between various windows is the overall window performance. Be cautious when looking at windows and their claims, there is a substantial difference between some windows and depending upon the weather your home will be exposed to this will be an important aspect to consider. The reality is that although most windows will seal well against a wind when the temperature is only 70° F, a much smaller number will continue to seal against wind when the temperature lowers below zero.

With this in mind don’t take for granted the guarantees and claims presented about a window rated for average and ideal weather conditions. Instead keep the extremes in mind. A window has components such as weather stripping that can shrink and become stiff when the temperature drops to low extremes. This can make your window lose its ability to keep the wind from entering your home.

When choosing your window it is important to look for windows that can perform well in your areas weather extremes. It is always a good idea to ask questions. Ask Envy Home Services, or your window manufacturer what they recommend for Chicago and the surrounding area.

2. Remember to be particular about where and what you need the window for. Not all windows are created equal, and not all are made for the same purpose. You will need a much different bay window then what you might need for your bathroom. Heating and protecting from the wind are important for homes in Chicago and the surrounding area. A recommendation may be given for windows that are double-glazed, well-insulated, and draft-free windows. Envy Home Services can give expert recommendations that will help you choose the best window for your home and project.

3. Consider what you want the window to say. Every part of your home says something about you, your personality, and your style. When these pieces all come together they send a message about you and your life. If this is something important to you, consider what the over all feel of your home is and how the window will place in that. In addition to this, consider your life-style and how your purchase will affect you. Wood framed windows might match well with the overall feel and tone of your home, but they also take more time to maintain then vinyl frames. This can be something to consider for those with a busy life-style.

To ensure that you are happy long term with your window purchase, take time to ask questions. Although the experts at Envy Home Services can provide you with excellent advice and valuable recommendations, you should also take time to ask yourself a few questions as well. What do you want and need? Contact Envy Home Services at 888-847-2531 to learn more about the expert service and quality products Envy offers.
