Doors and windows play many important roles in your home. By sealing out hot and cold weather, they improve energy efficiency, and they contribute to home security. At the same time, they contribute to the overall curb appeal of your house. Because they're so crucial to your home, windows and doors should be replaced and repaired when they age or suffer damage. Fortunately, you can find everything from window panes to exterior and interior doors at Ace so that you can get your project underway.
Upgrade Your Interior and Exterior Doors
When upgrading or replacing doors in your home, consider a range of options, including:
- Interior doors: Designed for use inside of homes, interior doors usually feature solid wood or wood veneers and come in a range of finishes and styles to match your decor.
- Screen doors: Placed on the outside of an exterior door, a screen door allows air to circulate through your home while keeping insects and large debris outside.
- Storm doors: Also positioned in front of exterior doors, storm doors provide an extra layer of protection to seal out extreme temperatures and bad weather.
- Sliding doors: Mounted on tracks, sliding doors move from side to side rather than swinging inward or outward. They're a popular choice for entrances to patios and decks.
- Bifold doors: To cover small spaces like pantries or laundry nooks, consider hinged bifold doors that fold in or out.
Find Window Glass Replacements
When your window frames are still in good condition, purchasing glass for windows separately can help you save money and simplify your replacement project. The first step is to decide whether you prefer traditional glass or acrylic. Window glass is often the most economical option, and double and triple panes can help keep homes cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Plexiglass tends to be a more durable option and is less likely to shatter due to impact or the effects of bad weather.
Once you've decided what material is right for you, consider the specifications of the available window panes. Measure the size of your windows before you shop, so that you can select glass or Plexiglass that is the right length and width to fit the opening. Also, take the thickness into consideration. The thicker the glass, the more resistant it will be to breakage and the better it will function as an insulator.
