Many of our customers, both homeowners and commercial developers, find that choosing the right windows and doors for their project is the hardest part of it. With so many options out there, it can be challenging to narrow down your choices. We have put together some tips to help you with the process:

Start by Selecting the Right Function-Type

By far, the most crucial part of choosing new windows and doors is how it functions. Your priority should always be finding products that will seamlessly work in your space. There are two types of entrance doors: slide and swing. Remember to keep in mind the purpose of the room and the size of the area near the window or door. 

Prioritize Size and Materials

Once you have established what type of windows or doors will function best in your space, focus on the materials. Depending on the purpose of the room, you may need stronger materials. Outward-facing doors and windows need to be made of materials that can withstand different types of weather. Fortunately, windows and doors are available in a variety of materials such as vinyl, wood, glass, aluminium, and metal-filled plastic. Each one has its own pros and cons, so choose the one that offers the best protection, style and functionality for your project. 

Keep the Structure of Your Project in Mind

Don’t forget to consider the architectural uniqueness of your project. Windows and doors have a significant influence on the aesthetic and resale value of your home. Before you can commit to a specific type of window or door, make sure your choice works cohesively with the rest of your home. It is wise to use a similar style of window and door throughout your project to keep the aesthetics and functionality consistent. If you are looking to increase the value of your home, keep in mind that you need windows and doors that highlight its best features.

Look at Your Colour Options

Although customers are usually tempted to consider the colour of their windows and doors first, it is typically better to make this the last part of the process. Often, the colour of the window frame will have the least effect on the overall impact of your windows and doors. As a rule, it is best to pick a traditional colour palette over a trendy one so that it will stand the test of time and appeal to more people. 

Don’t underrate the impact that windows and doors have on the atmosphere of your home. Carefully choosing replacement windows and doors that reflect your taste, as well as a personality, will prevent you from having regrets in the future.
