Insert and full-frame fiberglass window replacements
At North Georgia Replacement Windows, we offer both insert and full-frame replacement options. Insert replacement is a method used if your window style isn't changing and the existing wood frames are in good condition. Full frame replacement is a method used to update unstable vinyl or aluminum windows, change the window style, or if the existing jambs are damaged.

Common Window Problems - Outside Noise
Is the shrill bark of the dog next door, the vroom of your neighbor's lawnmower being powered up every weekend, or the constant hum of zooming traffic on the highway disrupting the peace and quiet in your Georgia home (and driving you crazy in the process)?

Common Terminology in Windows & Doors
Balances - A mechanism inside a window that helps control the movement and position of the window sash (the part of the window that holds the glass). It makes it easier to raise, lower, or hold the window open. This mechanism ensures that the window stays in place when opened and helps prevent it from slamming shut.
Brick Mould - Frames the outside of the window, acting as the trim that borders the brick or siding material.
Casement Window - A side-hinged window with crank-out hardware that swings outward from the left or right for improved ventilation.
Daylight Opening (DLO) - The width and the height of the visible glass.
Double Hung Window - Double hung windows feature two movable sashes (top and bottom) that are mounted in the window frame, allowing them to slide and operate vertically for improved ventilation and easy cleaning.
Frame - The stationary portion of a window that encloses either the glass (direct glaze) or the sash (operating or stationary) and consists of the header across the top, the side jambs on the left and right, and the sill across the bottom.
Grills Between Glass (GBG) - Dividers installed between two panes of glass providing the decorative benefit of true divided lite grids. GBGs are easier to clean than traditional grills due to not having any bars on the outside of the glass.
Jamb - The vertical sides of the window frame that hold the window sash in place. It's the part of the frame that you see when you open or close the window, and it supports the entire window structure.
Low-E Glass - A thin layer of low emissivity (Low-E) metallic coating is applied to the glass pane to enhance energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer and blocking harmful UV rays.
Simulated Divided Lite (SDL) - Fixed grids placed on the surface of a window to mimic the appearance of traditional divided windowpanes, offering a classic look without the need for separate glass panes.
Spacer Bar - A strip of material that separates and supports the panes of glass in a window to maintain the space between panes for increased thermal insulation. Spacer bars are used in double and triple glazed windows.
