Replacement
Windows
It's
a legitimate question: when should I replace my windows?
Many
homeowners simply don’t know when replacement windows are necessary.
The experts at Amazing Siding & Windows can help.
Beyond
the obvious reasons that replacement windows are necessary, such as cracked
or broken windows, the need for replacement windows is based on many factors.
Below are a few questions that will help you decide if replacement windows
are necessary for your home:
*
Do
you feel a draft coming from your windows when they’re closed? Light
a candle and place it near a closed window. Does it stay lit? Even if you
don’t feel a draft when standing near a window, if the flame on the
candle blows out, it’s time for it to be replaced.
*
Does condensation build up on your windows?
*
Does frost build up on your windows?
*
Do you need a support to keep the window open?
*
Do your windows appear to be warped? Remember – glass is a moving solid.
In historical homes that have the original glass window panes in them, you
will see the glass is warped and misshaped. It’s a common phenomenon.
*
Are the windows showing signs of deterioration?
*
Are you unhappy with the appearance of your windows?
*
Have you noticed your energy bill has been increasing?
If
you answered "yes" to any one of these questions, it’s time
to consider replacement windows for your home. |
