Replacement / Remodeling Options
Improve Your Investment
Do you live with any or all of the following: (1) high energy bills due to heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer, (2) fogging glass or water damage caused by condensation, (3) chipping paint or rotting wood, (4) difficulties with opening and cleaning, (5) excessive air and noise penetration, (6) fading window coverings, carpet and upholstery? You don’t have to!
Over the years, windows and patio doors can become worn from continual use and exposure to the elements. In addition to being hard to operate and looking unattractive, they are not usually energy efficient. By simply replacing old windows and patio doors, you can easily eliminate the problems and increase the energy efficiency, comfort, appearance and value of your home - all in record time with little or no inconvenience to daily living.

1. IDENTIFY Knowing the reasons why you want to replace your windows will help in the process of determining which replacement option or options you should choose. Consider the following: Is an addition part of the project? Are existing combination storm units or screens going to be used? Is there a desire to match other windows or change the look? Are there possible size changes? Will you need patio doors to compliment your new windows? Have the custom options been researched?
2. INSPECT & SPECIFY Now that we’ve identified the project scope, it’s time to specify which Lincoln Revitalize product is right for the job. Replacement options include: sash kits, pocket insert windows and full-frame replacement windows and patio doors. Before choosing a product, inspect the existing frames and jambs to determine soundness and whether or not the frame openings are reasonably close to being plumb, level and square.
3. MEASURE & ORDER Precise measurements are key for proper installation of replacement windows. Lincoln highly suggests that you contact a local dealer to have your windows professionally measured. If you plan on measuring yourself, make sure to follow the proper set of measuring instructions. Measurements will differ for each replacement option.
4. INSTALL Proper installation is key to optimum performance and operation. Detailed installation instructions are provided with every Revitalize order. If further assistance is required, authorized Lincoln dealers are ready to help. Prefer to have a professional install your new windows (which we suggest for full-frame replacement product)? Simply contact your local Lincoln dealer to set up an appointment or get their installation recommendation.
