How to Find the Best Windows and Doors for Your Home

September 4, 2019

Johns Lumber Best Windows and Doors for Your Home

One thing you may notice when you start shopping for windows and doors is the vast selection. We have a huge variety of models to choose from today. You need something that meets your needs, matches your home’s architectural style, and fits in your budget. The following steps will help you get started in your search for the best doors and windows for your home.

Know What You Need Before You Shop

Make a list of what you need. This should include the basics like how many windows and what sizes are needed as well as any extra features you may want. For example, you should make notes if home security is a concern, if you want to block outdoor noise, or if you want to lower your energy bills.

Look at Other Homes for Inspiration

See what other homeowners have done with their living spaces. Search online to see how different styles look in different settings. You can also visit the John’s Lumber website to see images of various products in action. This can help you decide on the look you want.

Learn About Window and Door Materials

Windows and doors are not all wood and glass. There are models made of vinyl, aluminium, fiberglass, and more. And each requires a different level of maintenance. Wood is more likely to need to be replaced but has an appealing look. Some models have a vinyl or aluminium shell that are lower maintenance than wood.

Talk to A Professional for Advice

Talk to a professional about window and door installation. They can review your list and show you products that match your needs. If you have questions, let us know. The experts at John’s Lumber are available to guide you to the best windows and doors for your home. Come in and stop by our Clinton Township or Shelby Township locations.

How to Select New Windows

March 5, 2019

John's Lumber How to Select New Windows

Selecting new or replacement windows for your home is an important investment and can be overwhelming. Advancements in window design have made them more insulative than ever before. John’s Lumber has the window options that will meet your requirements at a sound price. Let’s explore the different window styles and options available today.

Single Family Home Styles

There are many styles of windows which may have been installed in the original construction of your home. These can include awning, bay, casement, gliding, picture, single and double hung, and specialty windows. Standard double-hung windows are designed to function identically to your pre-existing windows. If you have a particular design in mind you can have windows custom built, simply contact our team to get started.

Specialty windows are necessary for uncommon openings which are typically placed for architectural significance.

Materials

Choosing the right material is an important part of the window buying process. Depending on your home’s architecture and location, certain materials are likely to be a better fit than others. Our manufacturers currently produce wood, vinyl, composite, aluminum, and fiberglass windows. For extreme applications, composite and fiberglass windows are excellent at keeping the elements out while resisting wear and tear.

Whether you live on the water or within a suburban development, exposure to the Michigan elements should be the first consideration in this process.

We carry four excellent window manufacturers at John’s Lumber to choose from;  Andersen, Jeld-Wen, PlyGem, and Bowman-Kemp.

Our team can find the exact window for your home’s specifications with ease. Please give one of our John’s Lumber team members a call or stop into either of our locations in Clinton Township or Shelby Township.

Let the Light In, Keep the Elements Out

February 11, 2019

John's Lumber Windows Let the Light In Keep the Elements Out

Old windows are the top reason for unnecessary loss of cooled and heated air. Unfortunately, most homeowners wait to replace windows until they have deteriorated and have lost their ability to maintain a stable indoor temperature.

Your home’s energy efficiency and protection from the elements relies on its windows! New windows also offer maximum clarity and visibility to the outdoors.

Replacing Old Windows

Modern windows feature energy saving construction and materials to keep heated air in. An efficient home permits natural light to flow in during the day and reduces the amount of heated or cooled air which must be produced to maintain a comfortable environment. Our living spaces are often defined by any level of draftiness, which new windows can prevent.

Old windows are notoriously poor insulators, but what’s also important is how well they keep the elements out! Homes in our area face a wide variety of threats which vary from freezing precipitation to harsh winds and more. These two concerns are especially important to address with winter in full force.

Design and Construction Options

Homes are incredibly unique in our area, so John’s Lumber has partnered with top manufacturers to offer the greatest selection possible. Modern window models are constructed using wood, composite, aluminum, vinyl, and fiberglass.

Our trained window specialists can walk you through the process to ensure your satisfaction. To learn more please visit our windows webpage or stop by our Clinton Township or Shelby Township locations.
