- 1). Measure all the windows that you intend to replace to create a master list of window locations (for example: left, center and right living room windows), along with their dimensions.
- 2). Consider vinyl windows that are certified by the American Architectural Manufacturers Association if you want durable, top-of-the-line vinyl windows.
- 3). Look for Energy Star windows if energy efficiency is important to you. These windows provide better insulation, saving money on heating and air conditioning costs. They're more expensive then other vinyl windows but can recoup their additional expense through utility cost savings.
- 4). Visit a local window store or home improvement center to browse available vinyl windows. Note the range of trim available on both the inside and outside. You can find vinyl windows with wood trim to blend in with your existing windows.
- 5). Check to ensure the color matches with your existing windows. Also look at the vinyl windows to ensure the color is uniform throughout the entire window. If it's not, the window is poor quality and you shouldn't buy it.
- 6). Purchase vinyl windows that blend with existing windows, meet your budget and come in the size you need.
