New Construction Or Replacement Windows?

October 8, 2018
Newbury Park

If you have heard about new construction windows as well as Newbury Park, CA replacement windows, you might wonder which is which and what is best for your home. Both types of windows come in many different styles and with a variety of features. They do, however, serve a different purpose overall. Which do you need for your situation? Take a look at these four applications. If they fit your needs, you’ll want new construction windows. Every other instance calls for replacement windows.  

The Home Is Brand New 

If you’re building a new home, it makes sense that you’ll get new construction windows. New construction homes call for new construction windows. It’s as simple as that. New construction windows are generally less expensive but can have the same energy ratings and styles and replacement windows.  

You’re Adding An Addition 

If you’ve always wanted an office or you need another bedroom on your current home, adding on can be a fun, successful project. Because an addition is a new construction, you will get new construction windows for it as well. This is a cost-effective solution that makes sense, but there are exceptions. For example, if you already have a space and are just adding a window, you would them go with a replacement window.  

Extreme Damage To The Home 

If you have an older home that’s been through a lot, you might need a new construction window instead of a replacement window. Water damage or cracked foundations could be causes for new construction windows. The wall area might have to be re-built where the window goes in and that means a new construction window will work as the better option.  

When Windows And Siding Are Being Changed At Once 

Replacement windows are great to help you avoid replacing the siding material on your home when you need new windows. However, if you’re replacing the siding anyway, you can get new construction windows instead to save money.  

How Are They Different? 

New construction windows and replacement windows are very similar. The only real difference lies in the nailing fin, which is attached to the window frame before the siding. Replacement windows are measured to fit inside the frame that already exists. That’s why replacement windows are almost always customized. They can be made to fit any existing hole. Replacement windows are slightly more expensive because of that and because of the installation costs that go into removing old windows and placing new ones.  

If you want to know more about Newbury Park, CA replacement windows, contact the experts at Quality Windows & Doors by calling (805) 984-5895. We can talk through your situation and give you a better idea as to whether replacement windows or new construction windows are the right option for your specific needs. You can also stop by and look through the window choices in our showroom at 1430 S Oxnard Blvd, Oxnard, CA 93030. We’d love to show you around and describe what we have to offer.
