Window Replacement Materials

We can assure you that all of the supplies applied to your new casements are durable, long-lasting, and provided in a wide range of colors and textures. Let’s take a look at a list of materials, which are commonly used in window manufacturing.

Wooden Window Replacement

Wooden windows are a perfect match for hardwood floors or other timber decorative features in your house. When choosing a new casing, you have a wide range of different textures, colors, and finishes. However, wooden windows are usually classified as old-style and low-efficient. They still are perfect for cold regions because of their excellent temperature insulation. Toloka Corporation strongly recommends providing proper maintenance, as wood frames may swell or contract without it. If you need your windows to be inspected or replaced, please get in touch with our Company.

Vinyl Window Replacement

This option is one of the most common among homeowners all across the country. That is because they are highly durable and affordable. In addition, They don’t require maintenance, will keep your house warm during the winter, and have a high energy-efficient index. The only bad thing that may occur to them, after several years, is fading. Most vinyl windows with a white frame may become slightly yellowish because of the sun’s rays.

Aluminum Windows Replacement

The price of the aluminum window frames can vary depending on the number of panes. We can indeed say that steel frames are durable and long-lasting, which is an excellent investment in your house. Aluminum, like other metals, doesn’t require much maintenance, and its strength will protect you during every weather disaster. However, we ought to mention its high conduction rate, which means that it provides cold or hot temperatures to your house. That is why aluminum is rarely used for energy-efficient window projects. Don’t hesitate to ask Toloka Corporation to help you choose the best suitable option for you.

Composite Window Replacement

Although composite windows are pretty new on the market, in comparison with wooden ones, they are an excellent solution for current projects. Their cost is slightly higher, but with the high price, you get a higher quality. Composite windows are made to be durable and long-lasting, without much maintenance. Moreover, they are more energy-efficient than the previous because of their specific formula. Toloka Corporation provides composite windows from qualitative manufacturers with various finishes, but they can be painted on-site if you would like to change the color. We can undoubtedly say they are very cost-effective and will keep you warm during the winter.

Clad Windows Replacement

Clad windows are a “step further’ in energy-efficiency development, with a contemporary design. They are usually made with vinyl or wood panels, covering the aluminum or wood frame. That makes them durable, with a great appearance. With the vinyl shell, you get low-maintenance windows that usually come at more affordable prices. Wooden shell panels will provide more energy efficiency, yet the price will be higher. Toloka Corporation will be happy to help you choose the most suitable design for your home. Hiring us, you are getting the best prices and high-class materials, with the proper, professional installation in the shortest terms.

Fiberglass Windows Replacement

This type of window is a perfect choice for those who care about the energy efficiency of their house. Our workers are specially trained to install fiberglass frames that require proper settings. Window panels usually come with a texture, imitating the wood look, but they don’t need much maintenance. Fiberglass is recommended to be installed at all current construction projects to reduce heating bills every winter. However, the cost of it can rise because of expensive decorative materials.

We have significant experience in single and double-hung, fixed and picture, sliding, casement, storm, glass block, casement, tilt out, and any other traditional or atypical window installation.

Let’s take a look at a list of the most common installation types we make available.

Single-Hung Windows Replacement

Double-Hung Windows Replacement

Homeowners interested in something more expensive offer the version where both the top and bottom parts can move inward.

Casement Windows Replacement

Casement windows can usually be found near or into basements and ceilings on the top floor. It’s a more expensive option because it requires more installation time, and the cost of the material also can affect the final price. Please, contact Toloka Corporation to get a proper budget estimation. These windows can be installed in two types: Awning and Hopper. The first one is a casement, hinged to the top, while the second is hinged to the bottom. Their usability often depends on the ceiling height and for what room they are used.

Bow and Bay Windows Replacement

You can notice a lot of bay or bow windows in houses in the suburbs. This is because they usually require a lot of space, and their installation is much more expensive. Most homes, which have bow or bay types, have one or two sets of windows on the front and probably a third one on the back, facing the yard. Both of them require framing, roofing, and flashing, installed. So let’s take a look at them separately:

  • Bow Window is made in a curved setting extending your house, containing at least five independent windows.
  • Bay window has a distinguishing feature, represented as a giant middle window, with two smaller ones on the sides, extending this part out from the house. For an actual bay window project cost, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Toloka Corporation.

The installation cost of it is also very affordable, starting with a price of 80$ for labor. However, most picture windows that we set require custom sizing and ordering, which usually increases the material cost. Toloka Corporation can help you with measuring and ordering certainly sized windows.

Basement Window Replacement

Basement windows are usually made not to open, so your basement is properly insulated. Most of them are affordable and don’t require much labor work to be installed because of their small size. We consider basement windows a great addition to the room, which doesn’t require much light.

Egress Windows Replacement

Toloka Corporation, as an experienced and licensed General Contractor and Builder, warns you that an egress window is a code requirement for a residential basement. They also can come in handy, during natural disasters, as an escape exit for your family. However, their installation usually is quite expensive, as it involves demolition and fitting works. Egress windows can be made using different materials, but their framing is either vinyl, composite or wooden. Therefore, we strongly advise hiring only professional contractors because this aperture can save your life one day.

Glass Block Windows Replacement

Glass block windows may be considered as an old-style solution, especially as an exterior window. However, many house owners prefer this type, constructed as a wall in their master bathrooms. They add a nice appearance to your interior while achieving privacy during a nice shower or hot tub. Glass block windows are affordable and don’t require much labor time. However, additional features, like curve style, can add a cost to the entire project.

Folding Windows Replacement

Folding windows are usually made in a two-piece bifold style. Moreover, their number can be increased to three pieces in one partition. They are typically installed in rooms with great-sized walls to make a great view from your house. The folding windows themselves can cost a fortune, so the installation labor cost is also high. However, such investment will undoubtedly add a resale value to your house and will help you to enjoy the unobstructed view every day.
