Retrofit Windows in Utah
Are you looking to enhance the energy efficiency and aesthetics of your home with new windows? Retrofit windows are an excellent option. Unlike simple glass replacement, which involves only changing the glass within the existing sashes, retrofitting involves installing a completely new window into the existing frame, covering the old one. This method provides the benefits of new windows, such as improved energy efficiency and appearance, without the need for extensive structural modifications.

How is a Retrofit Window Different from a New Construction Window?
Existing Frame
Choosing between retrofit windows and new construction windows depends largely on your current window frames and the extent of the changes you’re looking to make. Retrofit windows are designed to fit into and cover the existing window frame in your home. This type of installation is less invasive and typically more cost-effective than new construction installations, as it does not require tearing out the existing frames or altering the exterior walls.
New Construction
On the other hand, new construction windows are typically used in new homes or additions. They require the removal of the existing window frame and sometimes part of the surrounding wall. This is more labor-intensive and can be costlier, but it allows for a completely new window system, which might be necessary if the existing frames are damaged or not suitable for retrofitting.
Benefits
By opting for retrofit windows, you can upgrade to new, more efficient windows without the extensive demolition and higher costs associated with new construction window installations. Retrofitting is ideal for improving energy conservation and updating the look of your home, all while utilizing the existing window framework.
