If you have an old set of windows that are starting to show their age, it’s time for a replacement. If there is something wrong with your window and door system now, the next issue could be leaks which will cost more money in repairs down the road. Here are some things to watch for when it comes to signs it might be time to replace your windows.
Components are no longer working
When your windows are old, they may have a harder time sticking and jamming. They also develop balance issues that could lead to rusting or mold in the frames of these older units!
Drafts
If you have a draft when the windows are close to your house, this is an indicator that their seals need to be replaced. It compromises thermal stability in homes which leads towards higher electricity bills and loads on HVAC systems.
Condensation
On cold days, you might notice a foggy film forming on your windows. This is caused by condensation and can be an early sign that the current glazing isn’t very effective at keeping out moisture or air pollution from getting in through gaps between panes of glass.
Excessive outside noise
Ever wonder when is the best time to replace your windows? You know, if you hear every car horn and dog bark from inside of your home. Well excess noise might be a sign that they aren’t providing enough insulation!
Storms
You may be aware that windows are prone to damage from high winds and moist air. Additionally, vinyl cladding can become scratched during a severe storm which could lead you to decide installing new ones is necessary!
