Replacement windows for homes, a type of fenestration, are newly installed windows that take the place of existing ones. For instance, homeowners might install energy-efficient, double-paned windows with vinyl frames to replace their old, drafty windows.
Replacing windows can enhance a home’s energy efficiency, curb appeal, and overall comfort. Historically, windows have evolved from simple openings in walls to glazed apertures with advanced features like argon gas fills and Low-E coatings.
