Retrofit vs. Brick-to-Brick: What’s the Difference?

A full window replacement can be done in two ways: retrofit or brick-to-brick. Retrofit installation involves inserting new windows into the existing frame, making it a quicker, more budget-friendly option when the structure is still in good shape. Brick-to-brick replacement, on the other hand, involves removing the entire window frame and surrounding trim, allowing for a full reset with new insulation and materials. This method is ideal for older homes or where maximum efficiency and structural integrity are desired. Our team will guide you in choosing the right approach for your space, style, and budget.

WINDOW REPLACEMENT OPTIONS FOR EVERY HOME:

At Window Restoration Experts, we know that every home has unique needs when it comes to window replacement. That’s why we offer two main installation options designed to suit both aesthetic preferences and structural conditions:

  • Retrofit Replacement: Ideal if your existing frames are in good condition. This method preserves the original structure while upgrading only the window glass and sash.

  • Brick-to-Brick Replacement: Best for aging or damaged frames. The entire window system, including the casing and insulation, is replaced to ensure maximum performance.

  • Energy-Efficient Windows: All of our replacements use high-performance glass units with argon gas, thermal spacers, and Low-E coatings to improve insulation.

  • Style & Finish Options: Choose from a range of interior/exterior finishes, grille designs, and hardware options to complement your home's look.
