By far the most common type of replacement windows we install in San Diego are single slider windows. Single sliders have one fixed panel of glass and a second panel called the mobile sash, which slides horizontally to open on a track or in a groove. The mobile sash can slide either to the right or the left, depending on your preference. Single slider windows are similar to single hung windows, which also have one stationary and one movable panel. The difference is that you would use a single slider window in an area where you want or need a window that is horizontally oriented. You would use a single hung window when you have more limited horizontal space, but plenty of vertical space. Single sliders are an excellent choice for homeowners wishing to have a large horizontal view of the …

No Problems, Despite Record Rainfall in San Diego
If you can’t remember a time when it rained more in July than it did this past July, that’s because it never has. The rainfall we saw in San Diego in July 2015 broke a record that had stood for more than 100 years! We also saw a record broken for the most rain in a single day in July, which happened on July 25th, breaking a record that had stood since 1902! Despite the record rain, BM Windows didn’t receive any calls about leaks on the replacement windows and doors we had previously installed for our San Diego customers. We did, however, get a call from a new customer who needed our help to repair leaky windows that had been installed by another local window company that is now out of business. We were happy to help them with the repair, and we hope we were able to gain a new, loyal …
Oceanside Replacement Window Customer Rates BM Windows Crew as “Excellent”
As you may know, BM Windows is located in beautiful San Diego, but our customers are located throughout San Diego County. We recently completed a job for a customer in Oceanside named Mike. He lives in a neighborhood of single family homes near Guajome Lake built in the 1980s. Like most houses built in the 80s, Mike’s home was definitely a good candidate for replacement windows and doors, even though the original windows appeared to be in good shape. Modern windows are much more energy-efficient than the windows that were commonly installed in homes 30 plus years ago, so replacing them is a smart investment when you consider the cost of heating and cooling your home over the long term. New windows also are much better for sound insulation—important for this particular customer, whose …
Take Advantage of the San Diego Weather with Replacement Casement Windows
San Diego has the unique distinction of having beautiful weather pretty much year-round. San Diego customers should keep that in mind when considering what type of replacement windows to put in their homes. Casement windows are second only to patio doors in the amount of fresh air and sunlight they let into a house, allowing you to enjoy the San Diego climate even when you are indoors. A casement window usually contains a single glass panel that is hinged on one side and opens outward like a door (not to be confused with an awning window that is hinged at the top and opens upward). Casement windows are operated with an easy-to-use crank. Typically, a casement window can be opened up to 90 degrees from the building, allowing for a great amount of airflow into your home. Casement …
