Factor 3: Potential extra options

 Interesting savings tips

• Choose for strong insulating glass. Although optimum insulating glass is significantly more expensive than just double glass, it ensures that you can save a nice amount of money on a yearly basis, and not just once.
• Regular cleaning of the windows. The windows in your house are likely to be overlooked very often when cleaning. That’s annoying, because dirt can easily manifest itself on the windows. As a consequence, sustainability is compromised, which means that you will have to invest sooner in new windows. Clean the windows at least once a month, preventing unpleasant, unexpected costs.
