There is a new kit which provides new jamb hardware as well as the panes. The changes have been made so as to improve the energy efficiency and fit the home architecture.

The changes can be made for the whole window or just parts of it. To remove the whole of it and replace with a new one is a bit expensive. There is a variety of materials which can be used such as softwood, hardwood, aluminum, and vinyl. The change can also be made so that they can use the bi glazed glass.

The bi glass has a lot of benefits such as, reduction of dirt and dust. It also helps to minimize external noises and they are hard to break into thus improving security. These fixtures also last longer. Finally, it eradicates draughts and rattles.

There are also changes from the cast iron weight which has a weight to a spring loaded jamb system. It is helpful because a person does not use a lot of energy when opening or shutting these fixtures.
