Do you notice a draft coming in through your windows, no matter how cold it is outside? Or perhaps a big cloud of condensation has built up due to a broken seal between the windowpanes. Regardless of the reason, you know it’s time to replace the windows in your home because you’re not getting the comfort and value that you paid for initially.
There are many things to consider when you decide to replace your windows.

When it comes to communicating with our clients, we also believe in providing transparency about products and processes. Consider the following tips before your window replacement installation adventure begins.
Materials
For centuries, wood was the most popular material for window frames. However, with the advancement in technology over the years, materials that are more durable and reliable have come to replace the wooded window frame.
What to Get
As your trusted Mississauga window manufacturers, we always recommend vinyl frames. They’re energy-efficient, cost-effective, and durable.
Vinyl frames withstand the impact of the harsh UV light that will penetrate them over time. Vinyl is a strong material that comes in a wide selection of colours and styles, and its most significant advantage is that it provides an enormous amount of insulation. Besides, they’re easy to install and require hardly any maintenance!
What Not to Get
A material you’ll want to avoid when considering window replacement is aluminum. It generally costs more, and it’s the least energy-efficient of any window frame material. Aluminum has a high U-factor (which means that it loses heat and cold quickly). You’ll have high energy bills and either be too hot or too cold, depending on the time of year.
Aluminum can be cold to the touch when the weather is cooler, which can make for an alarming surprise when you open the window first thing in the morning.
Styles
Once you decide what material to use, you can move on to the fun part: choosing your new window styles! As you most likely already know, windows come in many different shapes and sizes. At Casa Bella, we provide the very best technology and a wide array of beneficial and energy-efficient windows to suit your home.
What to Get
A window is only as good as the individual installing it, which is why we genuinely believe that our window installation in Brampton and the GTA is the best. We will work with you to find the best type and style for your home — architecturally and aesthetically. Our most popular models include the Casement and Simulated Single Hung windows.
Our Casement windows provide the perfect combination of ease of operation, energy efficiency, and practicality. We equip our Casement windows with a multi-locking system and a tight weather seal for extra security.
Casa Bella’s Simulated Single Hung windows come with a multi hollow chamber design that increases rigidity and insulating values. They also come with triple weatherstripping for extra protection, and you can combine this style with other window styles to add character and diversity to the look of your home.
What Not to Get
It’s up to the customer to decide what kind of window style they’d like for their home. Your manufacturer or installer can provide tips on what works best with your home’s logistics. However, what can go wrong is installation.
Avoid companies that use sub-contractors to install products. Ensure that the company has a long-standing reputation and one that issues a written estimate of cost and project completion time. You need to know that you can trust them entirely with your money, time and energy.
You can always count on Casa Bella for honesty and reliability. We never sub-contract and have our own team of professional and licenced installers. This spring, update your home with a new set of windows from our trusted company. We’ll be happy to discuss options with you and are excited to turn your home into the house of your dreams!
