The replacement window industry is unlike a lot of other industries that sell products to consumers. In many cases, a consumer can take one look at a product and tell if it’s well made or poorly made. On a more cheaply manufactured product, certain parts may look flimsy, or the product could just not feel as solid as you think it should. When it comes to replacement windows, a lot of the products on the market look very much the same—especially if you’re only looking at vinyl replacement windows. To confuse things even further, pretty much all replacement window products on the market make similar claims, such as “durable” or “energy efficient.” A lot of San Diego homeowners reach the conclusion that they should just go with the least expensive product they can find. This almost always …

What You Should Know Before You Buy Replacement Windows from a San Diego Lowe’s Home Improvement Store
If you own a home in San Diego, you’ve probably been to a Lowe’s home improvement store at one time or another.

Many San Diego homeowners start their search for replacement windows at places like Lowe’s simply because they are familiar with them.

When you are going through the process of choosing replacement windows for your San Diego home, you want the new windows to fit in, aesthetically speaking, with the style of your home.

While the right fit when it comes to style is an important consideration for replacement windows, it’s just as important to get the right fit when it comes to the size of your windows. …
Does Your San Diego Home Have Old Aluminum Windows? Here’s What You Should Know
Many San Diego homes built in the latter half of the last century have windows with aluminum frames. This was the latest trend in window technology at the time—surpassing windows with wooden frames in popularity. Today, most homes are built with windows with vinyl frames. But what if you have one of those homes with aluminum frames? Should you replace them or keep them? Here are a few things to consider: Aluminum Is a Good Conductor of Heat You might remember from your high school science class that metals, including aluminum, tend to be good conductors of heat, meaning, they encourage heat transfer. This is a positive attribute when you’re dealing with something like a drink in an aluminum can, as you can quickly cool down the liquid inside the can by placing it in a refrigerator or …
