Windows play an important role in every house. Whether it is the window’s functionality or the look, you need to consider many factors before deciding to buy for your home. 

Cost

Reclaimed windows

So many of us had a hard time buying our first house. There is no shame in doing the hard work but since we poured our blood and sweat to buy a small house, it would be all right if we consider reclaimed windows. 

Reclaimed windows refers to the windows that are factory rejects, construction surplus, or used by someone else. They can be acquired at a very attractive price. So many people have reservations about using reclaimed windows and the answer to all your queries is simple. Yes, they can be used.

But you need to find windows that are used but safe to be put on again which is very difficult to find. If you find them, you need to make sure they can long last, which again will be difficult because people only take out the old ones when they have served their purpose. Also, make sure you have tempered glass even in reclaimed windows for safety.  

Custom Window Vs. Stock Windows 

You have two options when you go out for buying windows. Custom windows and stock windows. If you have a small budget, we suggest you go with stock windows. These windows can be bought at affordable rates and these are ready to use. On the other hand, custom windows are expensive. They are built according to the size of a home. These custom windows usually have different sizes than the regular ones. Lastly, custom windows can take at least a few weeks to be done.
