We need replacement windows because our house is very drafty, and we want to save money on our home heating bills. But I also need windows that are easy to care for. Our oldest in only 4. There’s a lot of sticky fingerprint action going on in our place, and I don’t have time to be constantly scrubbing everything down.”
