Consider the Weather

Within Canada, weather conditions change drastically from province to province, and even within BC. While the rain and wetness of the Vancouver area means its residents should be considering increased attention to detail around the windows, the residents of Kamloops, BC, often need double-pane windows to combat the cold and heat fluctuations, but less waterproofing measures. It truly depends on the weather that is common year after year in your location. This will also affect the type of insulation you use around your windows. Depending on the area of Canada you are in, you will require a certain level of R-Value for insulation in your home to prevent heat or cold from transferring through the walls.

Consider Your Home

In what year was your home built? Does your home receive a lot of natural light or very little? Your answers to questions like these will influence what we recommend for your home’s windows. Homes with a lot of natural light tend to be warmer and will not require as high an R-Value insulation as others. If your home is older and has only single-pane windows, it’s time to consider replacing them with double-pane windows.

Let us take the stress out of finding replacement windows for you this year. DekStar ensures to gather all of the information we need to make an informed recommendation to you and will perform the installation as efficiently as possible.

Consider Your Budget

What budget do you have for your home? Kamloops has options for price points, depending on what window you are looking at, and Dekstar has the best prices for the best quality and service. Higher-priced windows will have better insulation and will keep the monthly cost of running heat and air conditioning lower. This may end up saving you money in the long run and will boost the market value of your home.

At DekStar, we typically see Kamloops residents looking at standard double-pane vinyl windows. They’re a reasonable price point, with a higher insulation than a standard window. As a result, your home will be more energy efficient year-round by keeping in your heat and out the chill during the winter and doing the opposite during the summer. DekStar can help you with custom window sizes, spatial constraints, and colour matching to suit your home’s style.
