Single-Hung Windows&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Single-hung windows are a common type of window. They are vertically operating windows. The top panel or sash of the single hung windows is fixed in its place while the lower panel can be moved up and down to open the window. When the window is opened, the lower panel covers the upper one from the inside.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Including the installation costs, single hung windows come in $170 to $600.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>2. Double-Hung Windows<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Double-hung windows are very popular among homeowners. They are an improved version of single-hung windows. This window design supports the movement of both upper and lower panels. These windows allow better airflow through the home. Double-hung windows can be cleaned easily by tilting out the glass panels.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The double-hung windows cost around $400 to $850.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>3. Awning Windows<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of windows have hinges attached to the top sash. They are horizontal windows and operate by swinging outward. These windows allow air circulation while keeping the rainwater out. Awning windows usually serve as the ventilation outlets in bathrooms, offices, campers, and other such spaces.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on the size and material, awning windows are available in the range of $420 to $1100.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>4. Bay Windows<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bay windows serve their purpose best in rooms, cabins, or buildings with a view. These windows bulge out of the wall creating a small space for sitting by the window. The protrusion requires proper farming, flashing, and roofing. Bay windows are usually made of three panels at 25\u00b0- 45\u00b0 angles. These windows are fairly large and require experts for installation.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Including installation, the bay windows cost around $1200 to $3500.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>5. Bow Windows<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like bay windows, bow windows protrude outwards. Depending on the projecting area, bow windows consist of three, four, or more window panels positioned at an angle of 10\u00b0- 15\u00b0. Due to more window panels, bow windows can sometimes cost more than bay windows.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The estimated cost value of bow windows is $1400 to $4500.&nbsp;<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>6. Casement Windows<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Casement is a common window style and comes with a left and right window pane.&nbsp; They are vertical windows with hinges on one side. Casement windows operate by moving outward like a door. They provide a clear and open view.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Along with the installation, casement windows are worth around $380 to $ 750.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>7. Sliding Windows<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sliding windows are widely used in homes due to their convenient operation. These windows are usually rectangular in shape and consist of two sections. One section slides over the other one to operate. Both the sections can slide from side to side.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Installing a sliding window costs around $450 to $1300.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>8. Custom Windows<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have some specific requirements, you can ask the contractor to design custom windows for you. You have to communicate your measurements, design specifications, and unique style to the contractor to get custom windows.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on the design specifications, custom windows can cost as low as $500 and as high as a whopping $15000.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Frame Type<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The frame is a significant part of windows, both functionally and aesthetically. Different types of window frames are available in the market. The price of the window, as well as installation, varies for each frame. Let&#8217;s discuss some prominent window frames and their effect on the total price value.&nbsp;<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Factors-That-Affect-the-Overall-Window-Replacement-Costs-Frame-type-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"988\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Factors-That-Affect-the-Overall-Window-Replacement-Costs-Frame-type-988x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Factors That Affect the Overall Window Replacement Costs (Frame type)\" class=\"wp-image-7146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Factors-That-Affect-the-Overall-Window-Replacement-Costs-Frame-type-988x1024.jpg 988w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Factors-That-Affect-the-Overall-Window-Replacement-Costs-Frame-type-289x300.jpg 289w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Factors-That-Affect-the-Overall-Window-Replacement-Costs-Frame-type-768x796.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Factors-That-Affect-the-Overall-Window-Replacement-Costs-Frame-type-1481x1536.jpg 1481w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Factors-That-Affect-the-Overall-Window-Replacement-Costs-Frame-type-1975x2048.jpg 1975w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 988px) 100vw, 988px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3>1. Wooden Frame<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s the most common type of frame. Wooden frames have been in use for centuries. The classic feel of wood is cherished by everyone. Wooden frames are strong and offer an exceptional architectural appeal. These frames are susceptible to damage due to exposure to moisture and changes in weather. However, if maintained properly, wooden frames last for a considerable amount of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wooden frames cost around $1300.&nbsp;<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>2. Vinyl Window Frames<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vinyl window frames are made from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). These window frames are quite affordable and extremely durable. Vinyl is a good insulator and requires little to no maintenance. However, vinyl frames are not as visually appealing as wooden frames. Moreover, they are not as strong as aluminum or fiberglass frames.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vinyl window frames are an economical choice. They cost around $250 to $600.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>3. Fiberglass Frames<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiberglass window frames are more durable than vinyl frames but it&#8217;s a relatively less popular option. Fiberglass has weather-resistant properties and counters the temperature changes better than any other window frame. It resembles vinyl window frames in appearance but costs more than vinyl.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average cost of fiberglass frames is around $750.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>4. Aluminum Frames<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aluminum window frames are a very popular choice among homeowners. Aluminum is long-lasting and renders a sleek and modernistic look to the building structure. It is a low-maintenance and heat-insulator, therefore, a perfect option for window framing.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aluminum frames cost more than fiberglass and vinyl but less than wooden frames. You can expect to pay around $400 to $1200 for aluminum windows.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Energy Efficiency Value&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Energy-efficient windows are highly valued among homeowners. The windows are designed in a way that they keep the heated or cooled air inside and maintain a perfect temperature inside. The window replacement costs vary high, depending on the energy efficiency value.&nbsp; Some major types of energy-efficient windows are discussed below.&nbsp;<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Factors-That-Affect-the-Overall-Window-Replacement-Costs-Energy-Efficiency-Value-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"879\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Factors-That-Affect-the-Overall-Window-Replacement-Costs-Energy-Efficiency-Value-1024x879.jpg\" alt=\"Factors That Affect the Overall Window Replacement Costs (Energy Efficiency Value)\" class=\"wp-image-7147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Factors-That-Affect-the-Overall-Window-Replacement-Costs-Energy-Efficiency-Value-1024x879.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Factors-That-Affect-the-Overall-Window-Replacement-Costs-Energy-Efficiency-Value-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Factors-That-Affect-the-Overall-Window-Replacement-Costs-Energy-Efficiency-Value-768x660.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Factors-That-Affect-the-Overall-Window-Replacement-Costs-Energy-Efficiency-Value-1536x1319.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Factors-That-Affect-the-Overall-Window-Replacement-Costs-Energy-Efficiency-Value-2048x1759.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3>1. Multiple Pane Windows<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multiple panes of glass are combined together to achieve a high degree of energy efficiency. The glass panes are held together with layers of adhesives. The multi-layer structure keeps the air inside and doesn&#8217;t allow the outside weather to affect the temperature inside the house.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost value increases with the increase in the glass panes. For instance, the average price of double-pane windows is less than triple-pane windows. The double-pane glass replacement windows cost around $600 to $1000 with installation.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>2. Low-E Glass Coated Windows<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The low-emissivity coating is done on the window glass to achieve thermal resistance. The low-E coated windows prevent the UV or infra-red radiations that cause the unwanted heat to enter the house while allowing the sunlight to illuminate the interior. Low-E windows are specially employed in colder areas to trap the heat energy inside the house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low-E windows cost around $800 to $1200.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3>3. Gas-Filled Windows&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another practice to achieve better thermal insulation is by filling an inert gas inside the window panes. These gases are non-toxic, odorless, and colorless and serve as the perfect thermal insulators.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The gas-filled windows installation can be done for $750 to $1300.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Size of the Window<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s a known fact that the size of the window affects the installation cost. You will have to pay less if your windows are smaller than the standard size. Similarly, expect to pay more than the average installation cost if your glass replacement window is larger than the standard window size.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The standard size chart of different types of windows is different so follow the respective size chart to find the standard window size.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Repair-or-Replace-Window-Glass.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Repair-or-Replace-Window-Glass.jpg\" alt=\"How to Repair or Replace Window Glass\" class=\"wp-image-6894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Repair-or-Replace-Window-Glass.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Repair-or-Replace-Window-Glass-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fabglassandmirror.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/How-to-Repair-or-Replace-Window-Glass-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-repair-or-replace-window-glass\">How to Repair or Replace Window Glass?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A rogue ball from the kids playing in your street or a heavy storm can easily damage your window glass.

The best practice is to remove the frame first and bring it to the worktable in order to remove the glass. Wiggle the broken glass a little and pull out the glass.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pro tip: <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">use a grid of duct tape to remove the stubborn pieces of glass from the sash.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a chisel or scraper to remove the putty, pieces of glass, and metal glazing point from the frame and pull out the pane. Make sure to remove all the bits and pieces from the grooves. The frame must be completely smooth for installing the new glass pane.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tip: <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a heat gun to soften the old putty.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that the frame is free of any extra unwanted shreds, prepare it for the new glass pane. Use a wire brush to clean the frame. Wipe it clean with a damp rag and apply a coat of linseed oil to set a base for the putty to stick perfectly.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take the measurements of the frame carefully.
