Window & Door Terms

As you investigate new or replacement windows for your commercial or residential property you may run into terms you don't understand. For example: rough opening. A rough opening is the opening in the wall that the window or door fits into. Usually the rough opening needs to be 1/2 inch larger (in both width and height) than the frame.

To learn more about replacement and new windows, stop by one of The Window Man's three area showrooms or call 703-978-1012 to speak to a representative.

Fiberglass Windows

Fiberglass windows are a great choice for most homeowners in the Metro DC area. Why? Fiberglass windows are very strong because they have a low expansion rate. The surface is entirely paintable so that it can easily blend in with your home's exterior design. Fiberglass has a good thermal performance--which makes it an ideal window material for eco-conscious homeowners. And it requires little to no maintenance. All of which makes fiberglass a fantastic choice despite the high price tag.

Tinted Windows Good For The Environment?

Most of the time, people choose to install gray or bronze tinted windows in their homes to keep the sun out. But tinted windows can do more than just eliminate glare: tinting can also prevent heat from entering the home, and thus, can help you reduce your monthly energy bills. And that's good for environment and your pocketbook.
