It can be difficult to know the exact condition of your windows. You might be surprised by how many homeowners have overlooked signs of damage. That’s because people usually don’t know for what to look out.
Here’s a checklist of what to look out for and what each one means.
Noise From a Closed Window
Do you hear a car driving down the street even though your windows are closed? That could be a sign that your windows aren’t fully sealed, which might be because of improper installation.
Condensation in the Glass
Ideally, your windows should handle cold and hot weather with ease. There shouldn’t be any condensation forming between the panes. If there is, it might be time to consider a window replacement. That’s because moisture forming between the two layers of glass means the seals of the window are failing.
High Energy Bills
A good window can keep your heating and cooling costs down. It should insulate and keep heat from transferring inside and outside your home. Otherwise, you will feel uncomfortably hot or cold depending on the season. If you’d like to reduce the energy consumption of your indoor climate control, consider our revolutionary High-Performance™ Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass windows. As our most energy-efficient variant, it is up to 70% more energy-efficient in summer and 49% in winter compared to ordinary double-pane glass.
Damaged Frames
The window’s glass is important, but it needs a reliable frame to keep it steady and strong. That’s why any rotting, damaged or swelling frames should be removed. We offer Fibrex® frames with all our replacement windows, which combines the strengths of wood and thermoplastic polymer with none of their weaknesses. This makes each frame last much longer in extreme weather.
