Why Purchase An Accent Window from Fixhome Reason 2

Poly Frame Is Impenetrable By Weather. 

Seamless Poly Frame

When you look for an accent window or transition window to give you home that little something extra, you should consider the low maintenance Poly-framed windows from Fixhome.com 

Our polyurethane frames are a fantastic weatherproof exterior against the elements.  Our frames will not rot, crack, nor warp in heat, cold, wet or dry.  Our frames are a single piece, solid molding.  Our corners are seamless and do not allow for any discontinuity for moisture to penetrate nor crevices for bugs and mildew.   

Most of our competitors use a hollow vinyl extrusion, which needs to be welded – making for unsightly welds and/or open cracks where moisture can penetrate as well as a place where pests can nest. The exterior glaze is typically a flimsy snap in plastic flange that requires weep holes in the bottom to allow water to drain.  These weep holes testify that of the lack of water tightness in the exterior of the frame.  Ask yourself, how many times you have seen black messy stream out of weep holes on vinyl windows only a few years old? 

Vinyl Mitre

Since our poly frames are one solid piece, with no clip-in stops nor weep holes, they are resistant to insects, vermin, moisture, mold and fungus. And, our prefinished colors are a tough, high quality, all weather Polane by Sherwin Williams, which we offer in 4 standard colors – Bronze, Sand, Black and White.  Plus, if you would like to apply your own custom color, you can easily do so by ordering our frame in prime painted version.  The window will arrive ready for you to apply your own exterior grade coating.   

In contrast, vinyl is always a tricky material to paint, even with new modern paints designed for the purpose.  In fact, Black and Bronze are especially tricky colors to use on vinyl in many conditions because it may cause the vinyl to melt from the solar heat flux.  Just another factor to consider when choosing a decorative window for you home. 

Therefore, Fixhome.com offers an outstanding choice for a near No Maintenance window for your home.  Check out our numerous styles and sizes – octagon window, elongated octagon window, round window and oval window selections. 

Why Purchase An Accent Window from Fixhome Reason 1

Full Depth Jamb

Full Jamb vs.Short Jamb

Accent windows, by design, have a more complex geometry than standard windows.  This gives character and highlights to a home, both inside and out.  However, the installer may have some difficulty finishing out the window for the interior side of the wall.   

Therefore, an octagon window jamb extension required by most of our competitors will cause the installer to use more complex miters, miter fastening, or bending to finish out the project. This will cost time, money and frustration.  That is why most of our models have a full jamb, already deep enough to fit the standard wall. Our typical competitors just don’t put that extra into their windows, leaving the installer to miter, or bend, or whatever they figure out, to finish out the install.

In the rare cases where our windowsClamp Nail Jamb Fastener do have a shortened jamb, we have a full line of jamb extensions that can be readily added to finish out the window.  All you need to do is just check out our accessories page. Good luck finding that through your big box store! In addition, our wood jambs are joined by an exclusive steel shank that holds the miters together.   

 And as you can see, our wood is a ponderosa pine, graded No 1 Sash Cuttings by the WWPA. This makes our interiors suitable for either stain or paint as desired by the owner. Plus, our jamb stock is also treated with Woodlife 111 to improve moisture stability and extend life without compromising the natural wood beauty or stainability.  That is just something that a vinyl window cannot give.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint with Energy Efficient Glass

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint with Energy Efficient Glass

While shopping for windows on Fixhome's website, you may notice that there is a glass option called "Low-E". Low-E is short for Low-Emissivity, meaning that this window glass doesn't allow much heat to pass through it. This eco-friendly glass has an invisible coating on it which allows visible light through the window, but keeps infrared waves, which transfer heat, out.

Windows are the main cause of heat loss from your home in the winter, and cool air loss from your home during the summer. Not only does this make your home less comfortable, but it is also incredibly inefficient. As a result of this loss of heat and cool air through your windows, homeowners end up spending more money on energy to heat or cool their homes.

With Low-E glass, homeowners can cut their heating and cooling costs, and maintain a more comfortable climate within their home. Though the Low-E option may cost more upfront, a reduced energy bill every month adds up over time. Additionally, Low-E glass adds resale value to your home, as the eco-friendly, energy efficient glass will save potential homebuyers money. The windows are particularly appealing to home owners and potential home-buyers who are looking to reduce their carbon footprint. 

Fixhome offers a Low-E glass option for all of our decorative windows. If you're shopping for new windows or window glass, and make sure to consider this eco-friendly option.
