Tilt Wash vs. Single Hung - When people are looking at replacement windows, the tilt in sash feature for cleaning many window salesmen show customers looks very appealing. Even though most people will not utilize the cleaning feature after the windows are installed, the idea is appealing. Before selecting the replacement window with the tilt feature, be sure to ask about the pricing and performance of a single hung window. Single hung windows are generally less expensive than double hung, tilt wash windows, and offer similar, if not better energy performance. If window washing was not a priority before, chances are it will not be with the new replacement windows. Instead of paying a premium for tilt in windows, check the pricing on single hungs.
Glass Breakage Warranty - Some manufacturers offer a glass breakage warranty on their replacement windows that includes incidental glass breakage. This includes rocks hitting the glass, baseballs, golf balls etc. If the glass breaks, the manufacturer supplies a new one. It is important to check the wording on the warranty to insure it is worth the warranty. Acts of God and Civil Disobedience will most likely be there, but don't let additional exclusions take away from the potency of the warranty. In addition, see the first item above. Getting new glass for free is great, but paying $100 to have it installed is not so much fun.
