Local Homes
Just about one in five Wayne homes predates 1940, and many of those are the Shingle Style and Colonial Revival houses Wendell & Smith built for the Wayne Estate between 1881 and the 1920s. And about 40 percent went up between 1940 and 1969. Chesterbrook added roughly 2,500 townhomes and singles starting in 1977. The original wood units in the older homes and the first-generation double-pane units like those in Chesterbrook are both likely at the end of their service life.
Permitting
Permits depend on which township your Wayne address falls in. Tredyffrin lists "window replacement without structural change" as an ordinary repair that needs no permit. Upper Merion might need a permit even for a like-for-like swap. Radnor's permit list covers structural work and additions but doesn't specifically name windows. Regardless of where you live, we'll help confirm whether a permit is needed. If it is, we'll work through the process!
Climate Considerations
Radnor protects its tree canopy by ordinance, and the shade over North Wayne and St. Davids can keep north-facing sills damp well into spring. Add in Delaware County's freeze-thaw winters and humid summers and you can commonly see sill rot and failed seals on the shaded elevations first. We'll be sure to pay close attention to those walls before we quote anything.

Window Styles to Choose From
Different window styles serve different purposes depending on ventilation needs, room layout, and architectural style. During your consultation, we’ll help you compare styles and determine what works best for your home.
Casement Windows
Casement windows are hinged on the side and open outward using a crank handle. They provide excellent ventilation and a tight seal when closed.
Often chosen for:
- Areas where airflow is a priority
- Kitchens, bathrooms, and hard-to-reach spaces
- Homes seeking strong energy performance
Double-Hung Windows
Double-hung windows feature two operable sashes that move up and down, allowing for flexible ventilation and easy cleaning.
Often chosen for:
- Traditional and historic homes
- Bedrooms and living spaces
- Homeowners who want classic style and functionality
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows open horizontally and are ideal for spaces where vertical opening is limited.
Often chosen for:
- Wide window openings
- Modern or transitional homes
- Rooms where ease of operation matters
Picture Windows
Picture windows are fixed windows designed to maximize natural light and views. Because they do not open, they offer excellent energy efficiency.
Often chosen for:
- Living rooms with scenic views
- Spaces where ventilation is not needed
- Paired with operable windows for balance
Bay Windows
Bay windows extend outward from the home and typically combine multiple window units to create additional interior space and visual interest.
Often chosen for:
- Living rooms and dining areas
- Homes looking to enhance curb appeal
- Creating seating or display space
Bow Windows
Bow windows are similar to bay windows but use four or more windows in a curved configuration, creating a softer exterior appearance.
Often chosen for:
- Homes with curved or softer architectural lines
- Expansive views and added natural light
- Elegant, design-forward spaces
Awning Windows
Awning windows are hinged at the top and open outward from the bottom, allowing ventilation even during light rain.
Often chosen for:
- Bathrooms and basements
- Placed above or below other window styles
- Areas needing privacy and airflow
Materials: Wood & Clad, Fiberglass, Vinyl
Window Material Options
Each window material option offers distinct advantages depending on your home’s style, performance needs, and budget. During your consultation, we’ll walk through these differences and help you select the best solution.
Wood & Clad Windows
Wood and clad windows combine classic interior warmth with durable exterior protection. Interior wood provides rich aesthetics and design flexibility, while exterior cladding helps protect against weather and reduce maintenance.
Benefits
- Timeless appearance, painted or stained
- Excellent insulation and comfort
- Cladding that resists rot, fading, and weather
- Broad design flexibility
Best for
Homeowners prioritizing design, craftsmanship, and long-term curb appeal.
Fiberglass Windows
Fiberglass windows are known for exceptional strength and stability. Because fiberglass expands and contracts at nearly the same rate as glass, seals remain tighter and performance stays consistent through temperature changes.
Benefits
- Extremely strong, stable construction
- Excellent energy and thermal performance
- Low maintenance with long-lasting finishes
- Slim profiles that allow for more glass and light
Best for
Homeowners focused on durability, efficiency, and long-term performance.
Vinyl Windows
Vinyl windows offer a practical, cost-effective solution with reliable insulation and easy upkeep. Modern vinyl windows are engineered for durability and consistent performance across a wide range of home styles.
Benefits
- Affordable replacement option
- Low maintenance with no painting required
- Good insulation and energy efficiency
- Dependable performance for everyday living
Best for
Homeowners seeking value, comfort, and minimal maintenance.
Glass Technology: Insulation, Light Transfer, Gas Fills
Window Glass Technology
Modern window performance depends as much on the glass package as it does on the frame. Today’s windows are rated using standardized performance values.
Low-E (Low-Emissivity) Glass
Low-E glass uses a nearly invisible coating to reflect heat while still allowing natural light to pass through. Most quality replacement windows today include some form of Low-E glass because of its impact on comfort and efficiency.
Values
- Low-E is usually listed as a feature rather than a number value.
- Different Low-E coatings may be used depending on whether the goal is better insulation, reduced solar heat, or a balance of both.
What it means for your home
Low-E glass helps keep heat inside during winter, reflect heat away during summer, and block ultraviolet rays that can fade flooring and furniture.
U-Factor (Insulation Performance)
U-Factor measures how well a window resists heat transfer. Lower numbers indicate better insulation.
Values
- Older or basic windows: around 0.40 to 0.50
- Standard replacement windows: around 0.30 to 0.35
- High-performance windows: 0.20 to 0.29
What it means for your home
Lower U-Factor values help reduce heat loss, drafts, and cold spots, especially during winter. Many homeowners notice more even temperatures near windows with lower U-Factor ratings.
SHGC (Solar Heat Gain Coefficient)
SHGC measures how much heat from sunlight passes through the window glass. It focuses specifically on solar heat, not overall insulation.
Values
- Lower solar gain: 0.20 to 0.30
- Moderate solar gain: 0.30 to 0.40
- Higher solar gain: 0.40 and above
What it means for your home
Lower SHGC values help limit overheating in sunny rooms, while moderate values can allow beneficial warmth during cooler months. The right range depends on window orientation, room usage, and personal comfort preferences.
Argon & Krypton Gas Fills
Many energy-efficient windows use argon or krypton gas fills between panes of glass to improve insulation. Argon is commonly used and provides strong insulation at a reasonable cost. Krypton is denser and typically used in higher-performance or thinner glass units where additional insulation is needed.
Values
Gas fills are usually listed as a feature, such as “argon-filled” or “krypton-filled,” rather than as a numerical rating.
What it means for your home
Gas-filled glass units insulate better than air-filled units and contribute to lower U-Factor values, helping maintain more consistent indoor temperatures and improved comfort.
Visible Light Transmittance (VLT)
In addition to efficiency and insulation, the amount of natural light a window allows into your home plays a major role in comfort and livability. Visible Light Transmittance, or VLT, measures how much daylight passes through the glass.
Values
- Higher light transmission: 0.50 to 0.70
- Moderate light transmission: 0.40 to 0.50
- Lower light transmission: below 0.40
What it means for your home
Higher VLT allows brighter interiors, while lower VLT can help reduce glare in very sunny spaces. A balanced VLT provides comfortable daylight without excessive brightness or heat.

Wayne Area Windows: What Makes This Market So Special
Wayne’s been a commuter suburb, probably before anyone used that phrase. Anthony Drexel and George Childs hired Wendell & Smith to lay out the Wayne Estate in the 1880s, and most of it is still standing. The North Wayne and South Wayne historic districts hold more than 500 contributing buildings between them, nearly all Shingle Style, Queen Anne, and Colonial Revival houses from 1881 to 1930. Tall wood double-hung windows are common. And due to the older construction, openings that were never quite square to begin with are common. Ordering off a stock sheet doesn’t work here, we measure every opening to ensure a proper fit.
Your address might show Wayne, but any needed permits will be requested from your township. Downtown, North and South Wayne, and St. Davids are Radnor. Strafford and Chesterbrook are Tredyffrin. The northeast corner sits in Upper Merion. Each area answers the permit question a bit differently, and we’ll confirm which rules apply to your house before anything gets ordered.
The renovation situation is different on this stretch of the Main Line, too. The median sale price in Wayne was $1.135 million in 2025, and the Radnor and Tredyffrin/Easttown school districts reputation helps make the area highly desireable. Most people tend to stay put and upgrade. If you’re thinking about pricing a window replacement project, start by getting in touch or visiting our Malvern showroom.
Chesterbrook has its own situation. Twenty-eight villages went up between 1977 and the early 1990s, and each has its own board, so a townhome off Chesterbrook Boulevard may need village approval on frame color and grid pattern before we install. And if your original units are fogging between the panes, it’s costing you on the electric bill every month it goes unfixed.

The Approach
A gable wall like this one is really a single composition: three twin casement units in a row with an original half-round above them. The challenge was replacing the six sashes while respecting the arch to keep the proportions intact. We ordered each pair as a factory-mulled twin, matched the spacing across all three openings so the vertical lines run true under the half-round, and left the arch itself alone. The frames went in flashed and sealed to the existing stucco.
Frame
No vinyl warp on wide openings
Interior Finish
Stainable wood, custom color
The Result
Marvin's Elevate line pairs an Ultrex fiberglass exterior with a wood interior, so the frames shrug off weather on the stucco side and stay paintable inside. The crank handles fold flat so shades can drop flush, and the screens sit inside, where casements need them. From the family room couch, the view to the back yard is expansive.

Simply the best. We had an incredible experience working with Spring House Window & Door. From our initial conversations with Tiffany on design, to working with Galen during measurements, to the installation completed by Jimmy and Eric, the entire process was top tier from start to finish.
We had our front door replaced along with all of our shutters, and our house looks brand new. The craftsmanship, professionalism, and communication throughout the project were outstanding.
I would highly recommend Spring House Window & Door to anyone looking for door or window installation services in the Chester County area.

They did a beautiful job replacing our front door while keeping our storm door. Everything is very precise. They even installed our new keypad deadbolt and looked at our back sliding door and screen, which was previously very hard to open. Highly recommend!

We recently purchased a 4 year old townhouse and the sliding patio was always difficult to lock. I was able to find the manufacturer (MI) which led me to Springhouse’s website. I described the problem to Michelle who suggested that it could still be under warranty. We scheduled the service call to evaluate the situation. Galen came out and he couldn’t be nicer. A couple of tweaks and he was on his way. He was the best. In this day and age it was refreshing to find such a quality organization who sincerely cared about making it right. I would recommend them in a minute. Bob & Elaine

After several quotes from replacement window companies, Walt helped us find the windows we were looking for. We had large grids of small windows with dark wood trim and only a few opened. We wanted a lot of light and ventilation. He listened and helped us arrive at the best choice in our price range. Galen and crew arrived on the scheduled installation day and made sure we were involved in every decision. He was courteous, professional, and kept us informed. He made it clear his standards for a job well done were exceptional. We are so happy with the result. No pressure sales. Both the sales and installation teams were very knowledgeable. If you are considering new windows we highly recommend considering Spring House Windows and Doors in Malvern.

Common Questions from Wayne Area Homeowners
Do I need a permit to replace windows in Wayne?
This depends on your township, because Wayne addresses fall in three of them. Tredyffrin (Strafford, Chesterbrook) lists window replacement without structural change as an ordinary repair that needs no permit. Upper Merion requires a building permit for replacement windows even when the opening doesn’t change. Radnor, which covers downtown Wayne, North and South Wayne, and St. Davids, requires permits for alterations and structural work but doesn’t name windows on its list, so we confirm with the township’s Community Development office for your specific address before we order. Before we start we’ll confirm whether a permit is needed and help you work through it.
My house is in the North Wayne or South Wayne Historic District. Does the HARB have to approve new windows?
Radnor’s historic district ordinance ties HARB review to the erection, addition, or demolition of a building. A simple window replacement isn’t on that list, so most in-kind jobs in North Wayne, South Wayne, and Louella Court don’t need to go before the board. Its design guidelines do call for preserving the width-to-height relationship of windows and doors, and we follow that anyway because it’s what maintains the right look for an 1890s facade. If your project includes an addition or a changed opening, we’ll tell you up front that it’s a HARB application.
I'm in a Chesterbrook village. Do I need approval before you install?
Probably. Chesterbrook has no master association, each of its 28 villages runs its own board and its own architectural rules, so approval requirements on frame color, exterior finish, and grid pattern vary from one village to the next. Check your village’s guidelines first. We provide product spec sheets and color samples for the submission, and we’ve matched original profiles in Chesterbrook often enough to know what boards typically approve.
Is there a federal tax credit for replacement windows right now?
Not currently. The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Section 25C) expired at the end of 2025. Windows installed in 2026 do not qualify for that credit. If you had qualifying improvements placed in service before December 31, 2025, you might be able to still claim the credit on your 2025 tax return, but new installations are not eligible. We recommend confirming your situation with a CPA. There is no replacement federal credit for windows at this time.
Is painting included?
Products can be ordered factory-finished, and we handle all the capping and exterior trim work of your project. We do not paint interior trim. We will replace your existing trim with primed trim, but the homeowner will need to paint that primed trim (or hire a painter) once installation is complete.
How is disposal handled?
We pack in and pack out each day, leaving your home as clean as we find it. All debris and old materials are hauled away by our crews and disposed of in our own dumpsters at our warehouse.
