When Is It Time For Replacement Windows?
Single-Paned Windows
Many older homes still have their original windows built with a single-pane glass. This is a huge issue because single-pane glass is not energy efficient. The older models often freeze open or shut and feel cold and icy to the touch. Single-pane windows are infamously known for developing frost on the inside of the window which dramatically increases the chance of breakage. If you have single-paned windows it may certainly be time for an upgrade.
Outside Noise
Is there a lot of noise from the outside world seeping into your house? While there are several reasons as to why a lot of sound may be leaking into your house from the outside, replacing your windows could certainly help. Modern windows greatly reduce the noise transmission into your home. In fact, many homeowners are often surprised at how significantly new windows reduce exterior noise. There is no denying that an added level of peace and quiet is certainly a good thing.
Faded Home Décor
Older windows have a habit of letting in more ultraviolet rays than desired. Those extra UV rays can lead to the fading of furniture, artwork, and carpets within your home. If this is the case upgrading to more energy efficient windows could potentially solve that problem. Energy efficient windows let in less UV allowing your décor to be better preserved.
Storm Windows
Having to install and remove storm windows on an annual basis can be a very cumbersome task, especially with homes that have multiple levels. Having new energy efficient replacement windows installed would eliminate the annual hassle of installing and removing storm windows.
