screens
RIGO'S SCREEN POLICY
We are writing to inform you about the warranty policy regarding screens, specifically the wear and tear that can occur within a short period of time.
At Rigo's Windows and Patio Doors, we understand that screens are subject to a substantial amount of wear and tear due to their daily usage. As a result, we regret to inform you that we do not provide warranty coverage for screens. This policy is in place due to the unpredictable nature of their usage, which can vary greatly from person to person.
However, we value our customers' satisfaction and strive to address any issues that may arise promptly. Therefore, we do offer a two-week window for reporting any issues or defects with the screen you have purchased from us. This allows us to assess the situation and determine the most appropriate course of action.

Window - New Install Types of windows which may be installed are
- Fixed (non-opening windows) are cheaper to install than opening windows, are energy efficient with their airtight seal that helps with insulation while allowing natural light in and a view of the outdoors.
- Bow windows are curved and have four or five sections curving out from the building. Like bay windows, they are designed to increase space, light, and view.
- Garden window also projects out from the building, is often installed in the kitchen, and allows the display of plants inside it.
- Double-hung windows where both halves open are a good idea if screens and ACs need to be installed, they also allow for more ventilation. Double-hung windows are, however, more susceptible to issues of air infiltration or leakage.
- Casement windows provide ventilation and a view while also being energy efficient, easy to maintain, and taking up less space than windows that swing outwards. They are, however, expensive, have size limitations, and their hardware needs to be installed perfectly by professional and then be checked periodically to make sure of functionality.
- Sliding glass windows are wider than hung or casement windows and provide a better view and ventilation. They are cheaper to buy and install than casement windows but require more maintenance.
- Single-hung, where only the lower half opens are less expensive than double-hung and less prone to leakage and air or moisture infiltration because half of the window is fixed.
- Bay windows are made up of three windows, a central picture window, and two surrounding widows that are generally smaller.
- Storm windows are installed on top of already installed windows and serve as an additional layer of security against wind and provide insulation. They may be made of glass or plastic and have frames made of wood, aluminum, or vinyl.
- French doors improve the aesthetic value of a room; however, they are not as energy efficient as sliding doors since they do not have a tight seal.
Windows are typically made of the following materials
Aluminum is strong but not as aesthetically appealing as wood. Also, it is not a good insulator.
- Wood is durable, insulating, and has a high aesthetic value. However, wood frames are expensive, need maintenance, and proper sealing.
- Vinyl is affordable, energy-efficient, and durable requires little maintenance. However, not customizable or as durable as wood or aluminum. Also, vinyl frames may have less aesthetic value.
- Wood Clad combines the strength of the underlying material with the aesthetic and insulation value of wood

It is required to have egress windows in basements and bedrooms in many areas as a safe means of exiting the building in an emergency. Installation of an egress window can range from $500 to $1000, with the installation of basement egress windows being higher because of drainage issues.
