G'day folks:
I am interested in learning more about window inserts. We're thinking of replacing our windows this year, my husband had someone come last night to measure and provide a quote.
Our house is about 35 years old, and the windows are quite drafty. We cover a lot of them with plastic in winter.
On the subject of windows, we're fairly clueless. The man who came to measure was very informative, explained the difference between single and double hung, inserts vs. completely new windows, etc. We're thinking of going with the inserts, although he did caution that there's no way to know if the frames are properly insulated, which is a bit of a concern. Double hung sounds like a better option, but is it?
So, what experiences do you fine folks have on putting new windows or inserts into a house?
Thanks,
KD
