Windows are a crucial part of any home or business. They help regulate the temperature, block out harmful UV rays, improve security and add aesthetic appeal to your property. When purchasing new windows or doors, you want to ensure you’re investing in quality products with reliable warranties.
Keep reading as Renewal by Andersen® lists five things to look for in a window warranty.
1. Parts and Labor Coverage
When shopping for windows and doors, you want to ensure you get a good warranty covering all of your needs. Look for warranties that offer full replacement cost coverage on all parts used in their manufacturing process. These include materials like glass panes, vinyl frames, screens, hardware pieces, and seals around windows and doors. The coverage should also include labor costs associated with repair and replacement services when needed due to defects caused by reasonable wear and tear.
2. Workmanship Error Coverage
You also want to make sure the manufacturer will cover any mistakes made during installation. These errors include incorrect measurements, sloppy installation and improper glazing techniques. Just make sure that these errors were not caused by negligence on your side after installation.
3. Glass Breakage Protection or Accidental Damage Coverage
A good window warranty should also cover accidental damage incurred through acts of nature such as hail storms damaging skylights overhead. It should also provide a full replacement cost service if this happens within the timeframe outlined in the contract agreement both parties agreed to prior to purchase.
4. Product Performance Guarantee
High-quality windows will last longer than lower-end models, so seek out warranties that guarantee performance ratings before you finalize the sale. This ensures proper insulation levels are maintained throughout the lifespan of the window.
5. Weatherization Coverage
Windows and doors are designed to keep the elements out. However, they can still begin to break down over time. A good window warranty should offer coverage for weatherization protection in case of wind or water infiltration, which could lead to further damage inside the property. This way, you can rest assured their investment will remain secure no matter what Mother Nature throws at them.
