## Windows Facing the Water Age on an Accelerated Schedule

A west-facing window over Lake Norman takes the full afternoon sun plus the glare bouncing off the water — a double dose that cooks seals, fades interiors and turns summer rooms into greenhouses. When those windows come due, replacing them with the same builder-spec glass restarts the same clock. The right move is specifying for the exposure: Low-E coatings that reject the heat load, quality seals rated for the cycling, frames that won't chalk out in a decade. That's the difference between buying windows and buying the last windows.
- Low-E glass tuned against afternoon lake glare and heat
- Seal and frame quality chosen for sun-heavy exposures
- Interior fading slowed — the view stops costing the furniture
- Shaded-side windows honestly assessed; they may not be due

## Big View Windows Deserve More Than a Catalog Order

Cornelius buys windows for the view, and view windows punish sloppy work: a picture unit out of square shows it in every sightline, a cheap glass package hazes the sunset you paid for. Our replacements get measured to the opening, set plumb and square, flashed and sealed against wind-driven lake weather, and finished clean. And before any of it, the repair check: a fogged unit in a healthy frame is a $198 glass swap, not a replacement project — you'll hear that first, with the numbers side by side.
- Free written estimate — full scope, no install-day inflation
- Repair alternative always priced first: glass swaps from $198
- Picture, casement and double-hung units set true to the view
- Old windows hauled away, openings left clean

## Window Replacement in Cornelius — FAQ

**Q: Our lake-facing windows are hazy and hot to stand near in summer. Replace, or is there a cheaper fix?**

A: Depends what failed. Haze between the panes in otherwise healthy frames is a $198-per-unit glass swap — and the swap can upgrade you to Low-E glass that cuts the heat, no full replacement needed. If the frames themselves have chalked, warped or rotted from the exposure, replacement is honest — and the free estimate shows both columns so the math is yours.

**Q: What's different about specifying windows for a lake exposure?**

A: Sun arrives twice at the water — direct and reflected — so west and south lake faces get more UV and heat than an inland wall ever would. That argues for Low-E coatings against the heat gain, quality seal construction against faster cycling, and frame finishes that shrug off strong sun. Identical windows on every face of the house is catalog thinking, not exposure thinking.

**Q: Do we need to replace all the windows at once?**

A: Rarely. Exposure ages a house unevenly — lakeside windows can be due while the street side has a decade left. The estimate prices each opening separately, so replacing by face of house (or by floor, or by budget year) is a completely normal plan. Nobody should be bundling healthy windows into the invoice.

**Q: Will new windows spoil the look of the house — or the view?**

A: Done right, they disappear into both. Units are matched to the original sightlines where the architecture deserves it, set plumb and square so the big views stay true, and trimmed clean inside and out. The view was the point of the house; the windows should frame it, not photobomb it.

**Q: How disruptive is a replacement project on an occupied house?**

A: Window by window, each opening is out of service for well under a day, weather-sealed the same evening, and the site cleaned nightly. A typical whole-face project runs a few days. No opening is ever left unsecured overnight — lake breeze or not.

**Q: How fast can you get to Cornelius?**

A: The Lake Norman loop runs weekly at minimum — free estimates book within days, and installation follows as soon as your specified units arrive.
