Window and Door FAQs
Premium Replacement Windows for Kansas City Homeowners
Below are some of the frequently asked questions from our customers.
Why should I consider replacing my old windows and doors?
New replacement windows fit properly because they are custom made to fit the existing opening. Both windows and doors installed by Bordner give your home added beauty, security and energy efficiency.
You will see a significant savings in your energy bill in the very first month after replacing your existing windows and doors.
Is all glass used in replacement windows the same?
No, not at all. Special consideration should be given to glass options such as tempered glass, Low-E glass, Argon gas, and Krypton gas. Each option offers various levels of energy efficiency and safety. Your Bordner representative will be happy to help you determine which options are best for you.
What should I look for in a replacement window or door warranty?
At Bordner, we believe that a manufacturers faith in its own product should be reflected in their product warranty. Simply put, if the manufacturer believes in its own product, that product should have a great warranty.
That is why we have partnered with an industry leader who has been in business for over 100 years. Click here to learn about the window and door products we offer.
Which is more important in saving energy, the frame or the glass?
Seventy percent of an average window is glass; therefore, your biggest opportunity to save on energy comes from the glass. For this reason, Bordner offers a window that exceeds Energy Star requirements and qualifies for energy efficiency tax credits.
Quite often, a replacement window will feel drafty around the edges. A frame that lacks insulating value generally causes this problem. That’s why, at Bordner, we often recommend fiberglass windows. Fiberglass does not transfer heat or cold and doesn’t require foam filling like vinyl windows.
Should I use a professional remodeler to install my windows and doors?
Generally speaking, the quality of any product is only as good as its installation. An improper window or door installation could reduce the energy efficiency, do structural damage to your home, and even void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Bordner experts are trained to do the job right the first time. This ensures maximum performance from your windows and doors and eliminates future problems. From start to finish, you will be satisfied with your installation experience when you select Bordner.

Signs Your WINDOWS Need Replaced
Your windows play a crucial role in your home's comfort, energy efficiency, and aesthetics. Over time, windows can deteriorate, and it's essential to recognize the signs that indicate they may need replacement. Here are some common signs that it's time to consider replacing your windows:
Drafts and Air Leaks:
Feel a noticeable draft around your windows, especially during windy days? Air leaks can lead to increased energy bills and reduced comfort. Replacing your windows with energy-efficient ones can help eliminate drafts.
High Energy Bills:
If you've noticed a significant increase in your heating and cooling bills, your windows may be to blame. Older, inefficient windows allow heat to escape in the winter and cool air to seep out in the summer.
Difficulty Opening or Closing:
Windows that are challenging to open or close can be more than just an inconvenience; they can be a safety hazard. Faulty mechanisms or warped frames can make it difficult to operate your windows smoothly.
Condensation and Moisture Between Panes:
Condensation or moisture between double or triple-pane windows is a sign of a failed seal. This not only obstructs your view but also indicates a loss of insulation.
Visible Damage:
Cracked, chipped, or broken window glass is not only unsightly but can also compromise your home's security and insulation. Damaged frames or sashes should also be addressed promptly.
Fading Furniture and Flooring:
If you've noticed that your furniture, carpets, or flooring near windows are fading, it could be due to UV rays penetrating outdated windows. Modern windows are designed to block harmful UV rays, preserving your interior decor.
Outdated Appearance:
If your windows look outdated and no longer complement your home's aesthetics, replacing them can enhance your curb appeal and modernize your property.
If you've observed one or more of these signs, it may be time to consider window replacement. Modern windows offer improved energy efficiency, enhanced security, and a fresh, updated look for your home. Contact us for a consultation to assess your specific needs and explore the best window replacement options for your home.
