Many people spend a great deal of time indoors. To ensure the well-being of everyone in the household, the quality of air, level of insulation, and overall comfort are important factors to maintain. You’re probably aware how your windows play a big role in letting in natural light and providing adequate ventilation for your home. They can also increase its value and overall performance.
So wouldn’t it be nice to start the year right and make sure your windows are in tip-top shape? While you’re at it, don’t forget to break some old practices and avoid common window mistakes that some homeowners continue to make:
Neglecting Maintenance
Even windows of the highest quality deteriorate over time because of old age, damage from inclement weather, and various other reasons. As your local contractor, we at Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco understand that natural factors like frequent weather shifts are inevitable.
However, there are things you can do as a homeowner to help make your windows look and function as good as new for a longer time—that is, through regular cleaning and maintenance.
If you’re not big on up keeps, now is the time to develop the habit.The good news is that the windows we have are made of our exclusive composite framing material Fibrex®, which combines the stability and strength of wood with the maintenance ease of vinyl. Fibrex makes it easier to clean and maintain your windows.
Disregarding Replacements
