AMSCO offers a wide range of windows to fit any new construction budget, and every one of them is sure to be a better choice than “builder’s grade.”
Replacement Windows
The adage, “if it ain't broke….” Doesn’t apply to old windows. There are many reasons to replace your old single-paned windows. Here are just a few smart reasons to upgrade to a smarter replacement window.
• Save money on energy bill: If you already have a single-pane window, upgrading to AMSCO replacement windows with energy efficient features like double-pane, CÕzE, CÕzE TINT, and CÕzE HV glass will result in unbelievable year-round savings.
• Improve your home’s appearance: Our high-quality vinyl, unique composite, and selection of styles and hardware options can improve the look of your home both inside and outside. Often, simply changing the window style can dramatically change the entire appearance of the room.
• Increased ventilation: Get more fresh air circulating in your house by replacing fixed units with operable venting windows. You’ll be amazed at the difference quality replacement windows make to the quality of life in your home.
Hiring a Contractor
A Window is only as Good as the Person installing it so choose wisely. Whether or not you are satisfied with any new window depends largely on the contractor who installs them. Here are a few tips to help you select a contractor that will help you get the most out of your AMSCO® windows:
• Ask the contractor if they possess all the necessary city, county or regional business licenses.
• Be sure they are bonded and insured. This will protect you in the event of an accident.
• Contact your city’s planning commission and determine who is responsible for obtaining any necessary permits. If it’s your contractor’s responsibility, make certain that they are aware of this. It’s also possible that separate permits may be required for windows and doors.
• Ask for customer referrals.
• Set a timeline for completion of your project and have the contractor put it in writing.
• Communicate regularly and frankly with your contractor. This person or group of people will be spending quite a bit of time in your home, so it’s essential that they are willing to consider your concerns.
Energy Conservation
Now, more than ever, energy costs are one of the most important considerations for customers making a window purchase decision. AMSCO windows incorporate the latest in proven, cutting-edge technology to provide our customers with the very best in energy performance in any climate.
Care and Cleaning
AMSCO makes Care and Cleaning Easy. When cleaning AMSCO windows and doors, use the mildest cleaners possible. Never use solvents or abrasive cleansers. Some chemicals can harm vinyl, PVC, SuperCap surfaces and other window components. We recommend Fantastik and similar products to clean vinyl window frame surfaces. Over-the-counter glass cleaning products are approved for cleaning windows.
