If you are in the process of refurbishing your home, considering ways to make it more energy efficient or just beginning to plan the home of your dreams, you have many decisions to make. In fact, every room in the house has its own list of unique requirements and considerations. Yet, almost all rooms and homes have one thing in common – windows. And the choice between stock and custom windows makes an enormous impact on the end results.
As our title suggests, when you do a comparison between the two, it is not a matter of apples and oranges, it is a win or lose scenario, and custom windows win in every comparison. Just consider:
* Stock sizes, shapes, colors, designs v. custom windows – As you plan your home improvement or new build, do you really want to work around the preset styles, colors, glazing, trim and other aspects of “stock” windows? Not many do, and custom options are available to allow you to capture the scenery, sunlight or best curb appeal possible.
* Stock quality v custom choices – If you are sticking to stock windows, you also have to stick with whatever energy efficiency ratings or standards are used. And here, you need to be very cautious. Pay for a cheap, stock window and you may find that the seals fail, the glazing deteriorates and the energy efficiency goes, well…out the window! With custom options, you are going to get a guaranteed level of efficiency that allows the windows to eventually (rather quickly) pay for themselves.
* Safety – It is important to note too that windows custom made for your site or specifications will be among the easiest and most convenient to operate. This adds a level of safety that many overlook. You’ll never have to wonder what you might do in an emergency situation if that sticky, stock window fails to open easily or all of the way. You may never have to struggle just to get a window to close tightly without slamming or sliding down at the top, leaving you unaware of a security vulnerability.
As you can see, custom windows equal quality, security and flexibility to get the look, efficiency, function and performance you want.
