What Are the Benefits of Custom Made Windows?

If you’ve been looking at replacement windows in the big home remodeling stores, chances are you’ve walked past stacks and stacks of standard windows in various styles and sizes.  Most window manufacturers offer their products in stock sizes and shapes, and there may even be some options to choose from in terms of hardware, frame color, etc.  But did you know that you don’t have to buy windows ‘off the shelf’? We’d like to share some information with you about why custom made windows might be right for you and your home.

Many replacement window manufacturers offer custom made (or customized) windows that are crafted to your exact window opening dimensions and your specific preferences.  And in fact, one of our window partners – Marvin – makes EACH window per individual specifications.  Marvin is one of the largest window companies in the world offering made-to-order windows, so that makes them an expert.  It also means that many home and business owners recognize the advantages of custom-crafted windows.

• Custom-manufactured windows may fit more securely in the window opening since they are made to order from exact measurements rather than standard sizes,  This is particularly important if you own an older or historic home, since home construction methods have changed over the years, and also as homes age, the lumber used to construct them shrinks.  So the window openings the original windows fit snugly in have likely changed, and a window of that exact same size will leave gaps that let air in.  Plus the locking mechanisms on windows that don’t fit tightly in their openings may not work properly.
• Another benefit of custom-made windows is you get EXACTLY the windows you want.  Perhaps you’ve got a spot in your home you want to highlight; a custom-made window with particular art glass, grids, and more can do just that.

There are other reasons to take a look at custom manufactured windows instead of the standard ones, and we’d be happy to review them with you in person, either in your home or at our door and window showroom in Savage.  Contact us today to set up a no-obligation consultation. We are THE replacement window company for the greater Minneapolis area, and our goal is to find the perfect window solution for each customer.  Often custom-made windows are the answer.
