Windows are essential to every home, offering natural light, ventilation and aesthetic appeal. However, they can also be sources of problems if not routinely maintained or once they reach the end of their lifespan. If your windows are aging or in poor condition, don’t wait long to have them checked by professionals. Renewal by Andersen® of Sacramento is ready to deliver energy-saving and long-lasting solutions when it’s time to replace them.
Here are common window issues you should look out for.
Condensation Between Panes
Do your windows have condensation between their panes? If so, they might have broken seals and need replacement. Fluctuating temperatures can exacerbate this issue since expansion and contraction can cause seals to deteriorate over time.
Inefficient Operation
Windows that are difficult to open or close can be frustrating. In some cases, they may pose a safety risk. Warping from excess moisture, rust on metal components and paint buildup are common culprits behind this problem. Upgrading to new windows with modern, more durable materials can save you from this dilemma.
Drafts
It isn’t uncommon for older homes to have drafty windows. Gaps around frames can allow outdoor air to enter your living space, resulting in discomfort and increased energy costs. Replacing old windows can help eliminate drafts, making indoor spaces more pleasant and preventing your HVAC system from working harder than it should.
Inadequate Soundproofing Capabilities
Is your home located near the road or in a busy neighborhood? If so, inefficient windows can get in the way of your peace and quiet. Modern windows with enhanced soundproofing capabilities can help you maintain a serene indoor environment despite what’s happening outside.
Fading Furniture and Floors
Are your furnishings, floors and artwork fading? Your old windows could be to blame. You can protect your precious belongings from UV damage by selecting windows with low-emissivity (low-e) coatings. These units allow the sunshine but block harsh UV rays.
