Hopefully, we have seen the last of the big winter snowstorms. As the days are getting longer and the first promising spring buds poking through the soil, now is the perfect time to start thinking about getting your patio summer-ready – whether for entertaining family, guests, or simply yourself on a relaxing day. Spring Cleaning- Out with the Old, In with the New The first step is to clean your patio. Sweep away loose dirt and debris and give it a thorough scrub to wash away the winter snow residue. Do your walls need a fresh coat of paint or perhaps a new summer look? Switch out or clean your winter furniture to be presentable in your outdoor environment.

Both of these are important to consider when looking for windows for cold weather climates.   Window Frames:  The window frame is often where the most heat escapes, so it's essential to ensure that it is in good condition and made of the right material. The best frames for cold zones are anything but aluminum.  Wood and Wood-clad frames Vinyl frames Fiberglass frames Composite frames Window Glass:  Avoid single-pane windows when it comes to the window itself. Instead, choose double-pane or triple-pane glass windows made from low-E glass that is coated to prevent the tran
