Why do old windows even need to be replaced?




Answer:

There are several factors to be considered.

Energy loss: Perhaps 25 per cent of your energy bill is lost through windows. A 3'X5' window with a 1/16" gap around the sashes is like having a hole the size of a brick.

Condensation: Energy-efficient windows stay warmer on the interior surface, so humidity can be raised without getting moisture on windows, which can eventually damage walls. Less condensation also helps reduce growth of mould.

Air quality: Tight windows keep out dust, bugs, pollen and sound – so the indoor environment is healthier.

  1. Window replacement represents one of the more substantial investments you can make in your home. The replacement of old or under-performing windows can effectively reduce your monthly utility costs and give your home a bit more curb appeal.
