Homeowners need to know the top signs of when it’s time to replace their windows. Why is it important to replace old or feeling windows and how can you choose a window replacement that makes sense?
How do you know it’s time to replace your windows? Here are some signs that will tell you it’s time to replace the window:
- You hear a lot about site noise. Are your windows providing little protection from the sounds of the outdoors? The seal on the windows is not correct.
- Do you feel a draft even when the windows are closed? If so there could be several issues including port installation, faulty seals, and more.
- Inspect the windows for soft, chipped, or water damage. Window frames that are soft to the touch and chipped are already beyond repair. Soft window frames indicate rot and water infiltration.
- Difficulty opening, clothing, and locking windows. If you have balance issues in your windows they won’t open or close correctly. And if your windows don’t close properly you might not be able to lock them which impacts the safety of your home.
All of these would be reasons why you would want to consider replacing your windows.
