Why Should You Get Your Windows Replaced?
When it comes to window replacement, many people think about the aesthetic advantages a new window can bring to their homes. However, apart from contributing to the design and style of your property, new windows can also bring you a wide range of benefits. Some of them include:
Security.
New windows are built to be strong and are therefore less susceptible to burglary and break-ins. Many have advanced locking mechanisms as well.
Energy Efficiency.
Replacing your windows can help you reduce your energy bills, moreover when they are certified energy star. When properly sealed and installed, modern windows offer superior insulation to your property, keeping it cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
UV Protection.
Most modern windows come with UV protection, which helps prevent your furniture, flooring, countertops and artwork from becoming discoloured. In addition, replacing your windows with ones that are UV-resistant can help prevent premature skin-ageing.
Common Signs that Your Window Needs to be Replaced
Damage
A damaged window needs to be replaced or fixed as soon as possible. Even small cracks can compromise not only the insulation capabilities of your windows but also your property’s security.
Condensation
Dealing with condensation between the panes typically means there are gaps allowing air to move through your window. In such cases, a replacement is often recommended.
Faded Carpet or Furniture Near Windows
If you have recently spotted signs of fade in your furniture or carpet, your window may not be properly blocking enough UV radiation from natural light. This can accelerate the deterioration of items in your space.
Difficulties Opening and Closing
Windows are meant to be easy to handle. If you are having difficulties opening or closing a specific window, you may want to get it replaced to ensure your property is properly secured.
Increased Electric Bills
High-quality windows should be able to provide you with efficient insulation. Sudden increases in your electric bill may indicate that air is passing through your closed window, which is a sign that it needs to be replaced.
The Process of Replacing Windows and Patio Doors
Choosing your windows and doors
The process begins with a customer representative from a window and door company visiting your home to do measurements and give you an estimate. There’s a large variety of windows and patio doors to choose from, and the representative can help guide you through the different styles and materials that are best for you.
Preparing your home
When the date of your replacement draws near, take the time to prepare your home. Move furniture away from window and door openings and ensure the replacement crew has a clear path through your home. Replacing windows and doors can shake and rattle your walls, so remove delicate items from shelves and valuable artwork from walls. Windows replacement often requires outdoor ladder work, so move anything outside that might interfere with ladder placement.
Replacing your windows
When the window and door replacement crew arrive, workers will proceed quickly and efficiently. Professionals bring drop cloths and other protection measures to cover flooring and furniture. The time it takes to replace windows and doors differs from house to house, depending on the job’s complexity. In general, a professional two-person crew can replace a window in about an hour. Large windows take a bit longer. Installing a patio door takes more time because the crew often needs to remove and replace rotten wood and make custom-built flashing. It can take half a day or more to replace a patio door.
Inspecting the work
Once a crew has installed a window or door, check it for scratches and dings. Open and close them a couple of times to ensure everything works smoothly. Don’t let the crew leave until you’re 100 percent satisfied.
Getting your windows and patio doors replaced is easier than you think. Many people are hesitant to replace their windows because they assume the process is complicated, messy and time-consuming. It may have been this way in the past, but today’s professionals can install your windows and doors quickly and cleanly. Here’s what to expect when you get your windows and patio doors replaced.
How Much Does It Cost to Get Windows Replaced?
The cost to get a window replacement will depend on a wide range of factors, including the type and number of windows you want to be installed in your property. For that reason, we offer a no-obligation, in-home consultation. Before you commit to buying anything, we'll let you know precisely what your choices are, and help you get your new windows into your budget.
Is It a Good Idea to Replace All Windows at Once?
Many property owners wonder if they have to spend on replacing all the windows at the same time. In general, the response is “no.” However, if you are replacing a window for aesthetic purposes, we may also consider changing the remaining windows of your property to keep a uniform and cohesive design. It is also worth noting that changing multiple windows at once may help you save on installation costs.
