Disclosure: I was asked to review Window Nations service, I received a window for my home opinions in this post are all my own.
Window Nation review: Window Nation is a window provider that sells and installs windows, and doors for your home, they service several states. When I was asked to review a window company I was apprehensive a salesman will come to my home. I was not looking for a high pressure sale. When the salesman Dave came I did not expect to my pleasure I received an education in windows, and how they can affect your home.
Window Nation is big on excellent quality, they have one of the top rated companies in the window industry with an A+ rating. Also they call for your feedback through out the process to make sure you were pleased with your service. They want to be the best and are open to suggestions. A company that listens.
You can loose the majority of heat through the windows in your home. Dave the Window Nations salesman showed me using a heat lamp and a heat reading sensor how the different types of glass pains and gas can affect the heat that escapes from your house. The window industry standard that is 36% heat loss, my original windows in my home the one I am looking to replace (single pain) window let a whopping 91% of heat loss. This large picture window in home just think my window was almost an entire wall, so think how draft my living-room is? The Window Nation Window heat loss is 23% amazing way lower than the industry standard. I was impressed to see the demonstration Dave brought- you could feel the heat through the glass on many of the samples, the Window Nation window you can not.
Put you hand on your window.. do you feel hot or cold how much heat/cool are your windows letting out?
The salesman Dave was super great he taught me in the last 10 years the window industry has really changed. 10 Years ago my husband I replaced all the windows except this large picture window, so I had some knowledge of what what I did not want.
The first thing Dave taught me was the fit of a windows and insulation is one the most important concern when purchasing a window. (My old windows my husband measured.) Because if you have a great window, does not fit and it is installed improperly you can loose all heat or air condition just leaks out the sides.
Window Nations windows are fitted to 1/8 of an inch, they sent a Window Nation Measure Tech who work for at the manufacture to measure the window so it fits perfect. The salesman is not the same person who measures so your window, they spend the time in having a person come dbl check the measurements, taken at the original sales call to ensure your replacement windows with be made to your exact home. I liked the idea measure twice make once.
Then the Window Nations installers use a flexible latex insulation (OSI) that creates a seal around the windows that grows, expands, but also shrinks when need with the home. The latex insulation is important because if you have the wrong foam that expands too much it can actually push out the window, is what both Dave the salesman and John the installer explained. It makes sense, your house is change with the whether so should the space around your windows. Better efficiency better quality.
Window Nation Window that makes it a premium window. I also learned about the windows and gases in the windows. Window Nations have a high level of Argon Gas but also a non visual silver lining, and a UV protect-ant so your furniture will not fade. The lower window frame slants down and away to make sure that water runs off. I think this is great I have a friend that said she bought windows and the did not slant away and had major issues with water pooling not a problem with Nation Window Windows.
Also the glides in the windows allow it to slide easier then others, they are also very durable and cast metal so they don’t break (trust me my other windows have issues with bad glides). Visually the Window Nation windows are lovely the grids in the windows are shaped they are between the layer, they are not just flat. The windows tilt out and the screens pop out for easy cleaning
So you can see the difference?
What to expect from Replacement Window Installation:
The called to confirm the time a day prior then the installer call ed prior to coming, He was at the begin of the time frame for the installation window. Window Nations installation team. John came to install the window with his assistant. Prior I was asked to more my items away from the window, I was not able to move my large desk and John worked with me.
The laded down plastic both in and outside the window. The removed my old 1951 window with easy and it was painted in. The design was the original window we had the house 2 side windows one large in the middle, I went the same layout with the replacement. They installed the windows cleaning as they went. John was in my home for 2 hours installing my window, installation, and then wrapping the window. It was profession done and nothing was out of place when they left.
The Result :
We have lived with our new Window Nation window for the month. Hello beautiful view ! Out my beautiful window, where I sit at my desk everyday enjoying my windows that open, and I can close them to keep out the heat. I am never driven out by the rays of the sun because the heat stays outside on a 90 degree day. The week in April the window was installed the the temperature dropped into the 30’s.
The first night my husband came home he from work said “WOW, I can feel the difference it is less drafty.”
It has made a huge difference in our electric bill and how much more we enjoy our home. I seriously want them to come back at some point and replace the windows I replaced 10 years ago. All I can say is amazing change in our home thanks to Window Nation, it is the prettiest and largest window in our home great job.
