North Georgia Replacement Windows offers composite milled PVC windows that have the look and feel of authentic wood, but don’t succumb to common problems of wood such as rotting, insect infestation, germ colonization, and water damage. PVC windows are therefore a perfect choice for historical projects because they allow a historical building or recreation of one to have the authentic look and feel of wood without having to deal with its organic erosion.

PVC windows look precisely the same but work much better

NGRW is able to replicate the specifications of a traditional wood window precisely in our PVC windows, and we can capture even the most specific nuances in grid patterns for a replacement that is so authentic you won’t be able to tell that you’re looking at PVC windows.  Our PVC windows also come factory primed and can be painted to match your color preference on the interior and exterior.

A permanent solution

PVC windows provide a totally permanent solution for all homes and facilities. This permanence can especially benefit historical buildings and recreations by ensuring that organic decomposition is never again a factor in windows or doors. Water damage and insect infestations will be things of the past. PVC windows can look and feel just like wood but offer you a permanent solution that wood could never give you.

Historical Societies? Regulations? We can work it out.

North Georgia Replacement Windows will meet with any historical society or board in a historical district to discuss our product, the codes of the district, and the reasons why they should use PVC windows instead of natural wood for your replacement and reconstruction projects. This way, you won’t get into any trouble for choosing PVC windows.

Solid brown vinyl windows inside and out

Speaking of hard to find options, North Georgia Replacement Windows is one of the only resources available to anybody looking for brown vinyl windows that have custom brown colors on both the interior and exterior of a home or building. Most companies that sell replacement windows can only offer coloring options for the exterior side of the windows and cannot afford you any options when it comes to having that same custom brown for the interior.

Other hard-to-find vinyl window options offered by North Georgia Replacement Windows

• Simulated Divided Lite (SDL) grids are bonded to both sides of the glass with a shadow bar grid in between the panes to authenticate the look of an old divided lite wood window accurately.
• Any color exterior including custom color matches

It still looks like wood but doesn’t need to be painted or maintained (except for cleaning). If you are looking to avoid the maintenance that often accompanies other window types, yet not sacrifice on efficiency or aesthetics, then NGRW’s vinyl windows are the perfect fit for your home.

Georgia is one of the only places in the United States where the majority of door sidelights are not either 12 inches or 14 inches wide. Contractors would order their sidelights from a manufacturer and, thus, usually had to work within that manufacturer’s standard 12 and 14 inch template. In Georgia, and more specifically metro Atlanta, many of the contractors and builders began to make their own sidelights instead of ordering them from a manufacturer. They made 10 inch door sidelights instead of 12 or 14 inch sidelights, which makes them difficult to replace since many manufacturers do not produce 10 inch door sidelights. Fortunately, North Georgia Replacement Windows has a strong rapport with some of the sidelight manufacturers who do produce 10 inch door sidelights, allowing us to replace the sidelights in Georgia homes that other contractors can’t replace.

North Georgia Replacement Windows carries several lines of doors and offers so many options for customization that anybody with any door can benefit from our services, especially those with 10 inch door sidelights. We are also able to take away the sidelights in a door frame and create one double-door with the additional space.

Another problem with 10 inch door sidelights that were originally installed in Georgia homes is that they were made of wood that was not properly sealed and protected. This carelessness led to rotting and deterioration of the wood. North Georgia Replacement Windows is able to replace these wooden 10 inch door sidelights and ensure that wood deterioration is never a problem again.

10 inch door sidelights have become a specialty of North Georgia Replacement Windows, one that many of Georgia’s home owners are extremely grateful to have.  Give us a call today to learn how you can transform your home’s entry door and sidelights.

A window replacement installation doesn’t necessarily stop with the windows themselves; the ledges that give an additional edge of beauty, and sometimes function, could use an upgrade, too! Of course, we’re talking about the window sills.

Remodeled interior window sills can be just as valuable to your home as window pane improvements. Window sills add visual interest and, depending on their depth, may even serve as shelves to hold candles, figurines, pictures and other decor.

The aesthetics of interior window sills can be taken a step further with the materials of which they are made; there is a variety of compositions and colors that are available to match a home’s architecture, era, room size and type, and window style. These materials have transcended traditional wood window sills, allowing an expanse of creative possibilities.

Solid wood grain window sills are still in the running as a classic choice. A wash of varnish shows off the natural beauty of the wood, or a coat of colorful paint can easily make a space feel whimsical.

Natural stone window sills work well in high-humidity rooms such as a basement, bathroom, or kitchen. Granite and marble are two examples of natural stone that are both pretty and practical, while emanating luxury. Plus, stone sills are resistant to the sun’s rays and are easy to clean.

Particleboard windows sills are a modest choice if you like the look of solid wood, but not its price. Melamine is another material that mimics wood, but at an inexpensive cost.

Tile window sills are also a low-cost option. Made from ceramic or glass, these sills rival natural stone as far as easy maintenance and resistance to sunlight and moisture.

Vinyl window sills follow a contemporary trend. They are virtually maintenance-free and can sustain any type of damage. However, color-matching vinyl to your existing home decor may be difficult.

Whether your window sills are rotted or you simply want to dress them up with a remodel, any room in the house will benefit from a window sill replacement. North Georgia Replacement Windows will make sure the window sills in your home reflect the look and feel you aim to achieve alongside your replacement windows. Call 770-888-1604 for a free proposal.

Trends have changed with the times when it comes to sunrooms. Gone are the days of a simple screened-in porch off the back of the house that lets in wind and rain and can only be used two seasons out of the year. Now there are several options of sunrooms, as they have evolved into bona fide living spaces that can be customized to fit your desires and needs. Two popular alternatives with homeowners are to install a prefabricated sunroom or a custom-built sunroom.

A prefab sunroom is an economical choice if you want the extra space without spending a lot of money. The downsides to this type of sunroom are that it is only available in limited colors, and the design may not match that of your home.

Custom sunrooms come in a variety of styles and quality. The layout, architecture, color, and materials of a custom enclosure are meant to blend with your home’s exterior as well as its interior. Best of all, a sunroom that meets your specifications will add value to your home.

Certain upgrades that can be made to a custom sunroom to make it even more luxurious and relaxing include high-end wood or vinyl materials, high-efficiency windows, skylights, and even heating and cooling systems. Some sunrooms can even act as a greenhouse or have a fireplace. A sunroom is a true extension of the home that may be enjoyed year-round, just like any other area in the house.

Which type of sunroom is right for you? The biggest difference between a prefab and custom sunroom is cost. If you’re looking to thoroughly benefit from a sunroom’s features while increasing the value of your home at the same time, erecting a custom sunroom is a natural choice.

An expert building contractor can help you determine the design and type of custom sunroom that is suitable for your home. North Georgia Replacement Windows installs sunrooms with one of the best warranty programs in the industry. Call 770-888-1604 to have a contractor at North Georgia Replacement Windows scope out your property and prepare a free, custom proposal for you today.

One of the first things guests see before stepping into your living space is the front door. First impressions are everything — so if you want to make a good one with your home, an impressive entryway is the way to “wow” people. Of course, a metal front door with dents and dings isn’t going to get a second glance — but a heavy, sturdy door with aesthetic appeal will earn a compliment!

One particular entrance piece that will add attractiveness and value to your home is a wrought iron entry door. While visual splendor is a benefit to having an iron door installed at your home’s front stoop, there are a few additional advantages as well.

Durability
A wrought iron door can last for years on end. Frequent weather changes can wear down the quality of a pure iron door. However, a custom-made door infused with steel can withstand whatever elements are thrown its way. North Georgia Replacement Windows’s iron entry doors are architecturally detailed by hand.  Our iron doors also have a unique automotive style finish.

Security
Taking the durability a step further, a wrought iron door acts as an excellent deterrent for trespassers. The strength and stability of wrought iron is unmatched, especially if you opt for a heavy gauge style. Most intruders are intimidated from trying to break in this type of door!

Beauty
Wrought iron entry doors are handcrafted, so the design possibilities are endless. Curves, angles, and abstract and geometric shapes can be reflected on the door’s surface to complement the style or time period of your home. A frosted or textured glass window may even be added for extra exquisiteness and privacy. Our iron entry doors are available in any shape and size: rounded top, square top, and multiple openings depending on your taste.

Installing a new front door is not a lighthearted decision, as the door cannot be changed whimsically. So, it is important to consider these facts and possible drawbacks while shopping for an iron entry door:

• An iron door is expensive.
• A pure iron door will not last as long as a steel-infused iron door.
• Make sure the doorway measurements are a correct fit for the door.
• The wrong size, color or design of door can disrupt the entire look and feel of your home.

Overall, an iron entry door requires minimum maintenance, can be customized to suit your taste, and is a worthwhile investment. North Georgia Replacement Windows can help you choose the right iron door for your home.

Purchasing replacement windows for your home is more than just flipping through a catalog, picking your favorite deigns, and them having them installed. There are many factors that go into choosing the right windows and it is important to know what you’re paying for, before you hire a contractor. Criteria such as the amount of windows needed for the house and level of energy efficiency all affect the price of a replacement window installation.

So, what can you expect when a contractor comes back to you with a proposal figure? Here are some examples of what influences how much you pay for replacement window installation services:

Size
The size of the windows is a major factor in price. If your home requires standard size windows, the cost is affordable. Overly large or odd-shaped windows will force a jump in cost, so expect to pay a little more for custom-built pieces or windows that require safety glass.

Material
Material matters when it comes to the efficacy of your windows. Vinyl is an inexpensive option that requires little maintenance. Fiberglass and wood clad windows are considered high-end materials, with wood requiring painting on the interior which increases the costs.

Insulation
Windows come in multiple insulation levels: double or triple pane glass with Low E coatings. The higher the insulation level, the higher the cost and the better the windows will perform to keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Condition of Current Frames
Another consideration with the price of replacement window installation is the condition of your home’s existing window frames. Typically, the existing frame is used in a replacement window job. However, if there is damage to the frames, (if they are warped, moldy, or rotten) repairs or a total renovation may be in order. Of course, this can up the cost of installation.

Installation
Installation fees are also tacked on to the cost of replacement windows. Fees that cover removing and disposing of the old windows should also be included. Double-check with the window contractor to ensure that you know the costs of these additional services up-front with things like replacing rotted wood, exterior clean-up and painting.

Did you know that certain types of home window installations can help you save money on energy costs during those hot Georgia summers? Whether your house is undergoing a remodel or a series of repairs, choosing the right replacement windows for your project can make a difference in the look and feel of your home, as well as your wallet. If conserving money and energy without sacrificing the decorative details of your home are factors in deciding which windows to install, then double-hung replacement windows may be the solution.

Double-hung windows are the most common type of window in American homes. These windows make an attractive option because they are relatively inexpensive, complement other window styles well, may be installed to stand alone as a single unit or make an impact in multiples, and their construction allows for easy cleaning.

Perhaps the best feature of double-hung replacement windows is that they may be utilized as an energy-efficient method of cooling down your home in the summer. Simply lower the top sash three inches, raise the bottom sash three inches, and you have an electricity-free air conditioner! This works by directing humid air out the top crack of the window, while allowing cool air to flow into the house through the bottom portion.

North Georgia Windows provides a variety of double-hung replacement windows with advantages that include:

• Tightly sealed weather-stripping to keep out dirt, noise, water and air
• Hidden screen tracks that enhance the windows’ aesthetics
• Drop-in glazing for an additional layer of energy efficiency
• Easy-to-operate windows without the use of pulleys, weights and sash cords

Are you ready to go with the right windows for your home? North Georgia Windows is your reliable expert on installing and repairing double-hung replacement windows. Contact us by calling 770-888-1604, or fill out our online form to request a free proposal.

There are a handful of options on the market when it comes to replacement windows for your home. Aluminum, vinyl and wood are commonly used window materials, covering an expanse of variations in price and durability as they pertain to the architecture of a house. However, fiberglass replacement windows is an option that is growing in popularity. If you are unfamiliar with the virtues of this up-and-coming material, here are some benefits of fiberglass replacement windows:

Durability
Fiberglass is resistant to hot and cold extremes; therefore, fiberglass replacement windows are suitable for any climate. The material is less likely to expand, shrink, crack, warp, fade, peel, sag or rot, and it is chemical-resistant. Additionally, fiberglass is low-maintenance, and its integrity can be preserved for years on end.

Energy Efficiency
As you may already know in the context of your home’s attic, fiberglass is a substance that insulates a space. So, in contrast to other window types, fiberglass windows do not require a thermal barrier (e.g. polyamide strips). Also, because fiberglass does not expand or shrink, the likelihood of air leaks is decreased. Overall, fiberglass replacement windows can reduce your utility bills.

Environmental Friendliness
The energy used to manufacture fiberglass windows is exponentially less than what is required of other window types. First, fiberglass is constructed of silica sand, a sustainable resource that is already abundant. Second, fiberglass’s longevity means it doesn’t have to be replaced as often. Less waste means less negative impact on the environment!

Aesthetic Friendliness
Fiberglass can be made to look like high-end wood windows by mimicking wood grain on the window’s interior and matching its exterior color to the outside of the house. Moreover, fiberglass windows can be painted — and they hold the hue!

Fiberglass replacement windows are versatile and come in many styles such as awning, casement, double-hung and more. The price of fiberglass windows is moderate, costing more than vinyl but less than wood. Ultimately, fiberglass is a worthwhile investment in terms of strength, endurance and appearance.

To increase the resale value of your home with fiberglass replacement windows, call on North Georgia Windows to install them for you. Our expert team will ensure that your home receives the best-looking windows at the right price. Contact us at 770-888-1604 for an estimate today.

Shutters flanking the windows to your home are more than just a popular decorative style for building exteriors. Did you know that they are functional, too? They are designed to protect houses against extreme weather, from heat waves to hurricanes. No matter where you live in Georgia, window shutters offer shelter as well as beauty to any abode.

There are several types of exterior shutters Atlanta homeowners may find useful — but which kind is right for your residence? Aesthetics and accessibility are factors to consider when choosing a shutter style. Perhaps your home requires shutters that are period-appropriate and look authentic, yet simply need to remain stationary. Or, if you need functional shutters, you may want a mechanism that is easy to use.

A few kinds of popular exterior shutters include:

Bahama Shutters
These top-mounted shutters close quickly if needed, especially in the event of strong winds. Bahama shutters are so effective, it’s no wonder they are named after the storm-heavy tropical island!

Board-and-Batten Shutters
Slats of wood arranged to look like a slab panel make up the design of these shutters. They are mounted on each side of the window and meet in the center when closed.

Louvered Shutters
The louvered variety is mounted and function the same as board-and-batten shutters. However, louvered shutters resemble horizontal blinds, with adjustable stacked slats that control the flow of air against the house.

Panel Shutters
Panel shutters are also installed and used just like board-and-batten and louvered shutters. Twin slab panels with recessed shapes make panel shutters an effective and attractive choice for many homeowners.

Whether you desire pure decoration or you’re aiming for energy efficiency for your home, the best exterior shutters Atlanta has to offer may be found at North Georgia Windows. Contact us to browse our selection of maintenance-free shutters that come in a variety of materials, styles and colors.
