Am I required to do anything to get my home ready for window installation? Is it required to move/cover my furniture?

Window treatments such as curtains, blinds, etc. should be removed. Please clear a path to the windows that are being replaced. It would also be advisable to remove any pictures or decorations on the wall close to the windows being replaced as they could fall during the replacement of the windows.

Will my house be a mess after the installation?

No. Our trained professionals will install your doors and windows with as little disruption to your home as possible. Our installers cover up your floors, furniture, and the region around the workplace with protective covering such as drop cloths or plastic sheeting.

Does replacement take place inside or outside?

Factors such as insulation, anchoring, and seals that protect the window from air and water infiltration around the frame, are important in the professional installation and maximum energy efficiency of your windows. To ensure the best quality service, the ClearMax® team would require access to both the inside and the outside of the window.

Will the installation affect the surrounding wall? Is a repaint required for the interior or exterior walls?

The new windows will make up for any incremental energy costs during installments many times over.

How much time is required to get my replacement window? How much time is required for installation?

Manufacturing time might vary because every window is custom-built to fit your home and design choices. Once delivered, the amount of time required is determined by the kind of window installed and the kind of window being removed. On average, each window should take around 60 minutes for installation.

Is it normal to find water on the inside of my window during a recent storm? How to fix it?

Water may appear on the inside of your window during a rainstorm but you don’t have to be alarmed. Our windows and patio doors have an innovatively designed “weep” drainage system on the exterior bottom rails of the frame whose function is to allow water to drain to the outside of the window while simultaneously protecting the inside of your home.

What is Low E glass or a Low E coating?

The “e” stands for emissivity. The ability of a material to radiate energy is called emissivity. When heat or light energy that typically comes from the sun is absorbed by glass, the air movement either shifts it or it is re-radiated by the glass surface.
Typically, low emissivity can be associated with highly reflective material whereas dull darker colored material is associated with high emissivity. The insulation properties of a window can be improved by reducing the emissivity of one or more of the window glass surfaces. Hence, Low E glass can improve the insulation of a home from the effects of external temperatures in any climate.
Low E coatings have been developed to reduce the emissivity of glass. These minimize the amount of ultraviolet or infrared light that can pass through without any compromise in the amount of visible light transmitted.

How to distinguish between clear glass and glass with Low E coating?

The easiest experiment to check if windows have low E glass is to hold a lit flame (match or lighter) next to the glass in a dark surrounding. There will be three flames reflected in the window if the glass is low E coated, with the center flame being a different color than the outer two.

Is there a standard size for all doors and windows?

There are no industry standard sizes for windows. Each window manufacturer would have their standard sizes. Doors, on the other hand, do have industry-standard sizes but need measurements to ensure that they fit the surrounding trim.
