Episode Transcript

(00:01):
I love talking windows.
And my favorite window guy,
Lyndol Woodruff is joining me here on the program,
Lyndol.
How are you?
Are?
Amazing.
Amazing,
amazing.
Thank you.
Yes.
Yes,
yes.
OK.
Questions come in all the time and this is interesting um because this question,
it is an interesting question because a lot of people don't understand about windows and what type of style they can get and the efficiency and what they can do.

(00:27):
But a question come in,
what's the best window style for me?
And of course,
that's really a subjective question.
So if someone were to ask you that question,
aren't you asking them questions back?
I am.
Yes.
Yes.
I mean,
it,
it then I can say,
well,
what are you trying to achieve?
I mean,
do you wanna open up the view in this room more or do you want a,

(00:50):
do you have a little more heat on this side of the house?
You know,
uh where,
where does the sun come or are we wanting to make it a little cooler on this part of the house?
Because there are different levels of energy efficiency in the glass.
There's different levels of low eating.
So a whole lot of questions come from that,
you know,
what are you trying to achieve?

(01:10):
And then we can kind of walk through it and get those questions answered and we can look at different options and,
and it's important that you ask questions.
It's like when you go to the doctor and you're not feeling well,
they start asking questions.
So how long have you been feeling?
Well,
how's your appetite?
Let's take your blood pressure.
So you kind of do the same type of thing where you're,

(01:33):
you're asking questions looking for the responses because sometimes if you don't ask,
you don't know and you don't want to assume anything.
And what ends up happening is it works out best for the homeowner and for you at Woodruff Windows because ultimately,
the homeowner is telling you what they want and then you can tell them if that can be done and you might have some ideas they haven't even thought of.

(01:59):
Absolutely.
Yeah,
we do that a lot,
especially with people wanting to kind of change the feel in their living room.
You know,
reconstruct the style of window that goes in when that home was built.
Just a standard slide up and down to,
you know,
really opening up the big picture window in the middle,
maybe the side windows operate so they can still ventilate that meeting rail that goes across the window that has the latches that,

(02:24):
that's custom.
We can put that anywhere you want for the same.
There's no price difference wherever the meeting rail goes.
So a lot of the times to open up that living room,
we'll do a big picture window in the middle and then some operating windows on the side.
So you can still ventilate,
but we'll lower that meeting rail down real low.
So you,
you only have maybe this much of a sash that operates at the bottom and you have more of a picture window view up top.

(02:51):
So that eliminates all the view obstruction completely in,
in the living room.
So we do a lot of that custom stuff and you know,
asking the questions that you just said,
like,
you know,
what are you trying to achieve?
Do you want better views here?
Do you need better glass over here and then we can really narrow it down that way.
Yeah,
if your home is your castle,
if,
if it's especially the home that's gonna be your forever home,

(03:13):
you don't want to just get your windows replaced,
you wanna make sure that you have the right ones put in based on your lifestyle and what you want.
And Linda is team over at wood rof Windows can help you out with that.
