Problems Replacement Windows Solve for Homeowners
1. Is it difficult to open or close your home’s windows?
Old windows tend to swell due to temperature changes. Springs in their handles can become faulty, and frames that have been painted repeatedly can cause windows not to open or close properly. If you can’t open or close your windows easily, it’s time for a window replacement.
2. Are you tired of hearing outdoor noise inside your home?
If you hear street noise, heavy equipment noise, or aircraft while you are inside your home when your windows are closed, you are likely in need of a window replacement. Today’s windows insulate your home from unwanted noise like nearby trains, and other intruding sounds.
3. Are your current windows difficult to clean?
Old windows require much more effort when it comes time to clean them. If you’re tired of not being able to lift your windows easily and clean them, you’re sure to appreciate the convenience new windows offer. Double hung windows tilt in, making it easy to clean them, whether your windows are on the first or second floor.
4. Do your windows hinder your home’s beauty?
Old windows can often be single pane and can create problems such as increasing your utility bills due to their inefficiency. They can also lack the UV protection today’s windows have, causing your furniture to fade. They don’t have the Low E glass that causes indoor temperatures to stay consistent.
5. Do your windows function properly?
If you have a window that doesn’t function properly, it can be frustrating, particularly when it hinders you from opening it and enjoying fresh air indoors.
6. Does your home interior look drab due to limited natural light?
When a home interior can’t seem to get bright due to old or small windows, it’s time for a window replacement. Imagine the positive moods of you and your loved ones when you have natural light in abundance inside your home.
7. Do you have unwanted drafts inside your home?
If you feel a draft or change in temperature when you are near your windows, it’s time for window replacement. In the winter, up to 25% of a home’s heat can escape through the windows, and each summer, air conditioning drains out faulty windows. Thankfully, premium window replacement will help keep indoor temperatures consistent, and improve your home’s indoor comfort level.
8. Does your home feel too hot in the summer?
If your home feels too hot, it may be because your windows are so old, they don’t have the needed insulation to keep indoor temperatures down each summer. Today’s windows have ENERGY STAR® ratings due to their insulation properties, and they can help decrease energy bills by up to 12%.
9. Do you want to enjoy fresh air, but your current windows won’t allow for it?
If you have windows in your home that give you a great view, but don’t open, consider replacing them so you can enjoy fresh breezes indoors this spring and summer. Casement windows are a popular option that can open and refresh your home with fresh air when weather permits.
10. Are your windows damaged?
Chipped, cracked, and broken windows need to be replaced as soon as possible for your safety and comfort. Frames that have experienced moisture retention can appear warped or rotted, and if the situation isn’t addressed promptly, the problem can spread and turn into costly repairs. If you have water stains on your window that can’t be removed, they can hinder your view and enjoyment of the natural light. Get replacement windows and enjoy unhindered views.
