4 Signs You Need to Replace Your Old Windows

 

Planning for windows replacement gives more value for your money. When done at the right time, you can achieve better energy efficiency, curb appeal, security, and weather resistance. Apart from serious cases of deterioration, here are the warning signs that you need to replace your aging windows.

Replace Your Old Windows

    • Single Glazing – If you still have single-pane units, strongly consider upgrading them. In the 21st century, double-pane windows are the standard to meet green building requirements. With a poor insulating quality, single glazing offers negligible resistance to heat transfer.

  • Drafty Frame and Sashes – When you feel cold air coming in even when your windows are closed, it could be because of seal failure or warped frame and sashes. Either way, patching up leaks is just a quick fix. Getting replacement windows solves air leakage problems over the long haul.

  • Jerky Operation – Struggling to open and close your units could merit a replacement. If you don’t get new ones, your jerky double-hung windows can be a hazard to your family members.

  • Condensation between Panes – Condensation is harmless when it comes on the outer surfaces of the glass. However, it’s a different story when your double-pane units fog up on the inside. When they sweat in between glass panes, it indicates moisture infiltration. In turn, they lose their integrity in terms of prevent heat loss.

When you see any of these signs, Renewal by Andersen® recommends you invest in our quality window replacement. We handle everything, from sales to installation. We can even take care of your new windows years after we install them. When choosing your new units, we recommend you consider the following factors:

  • Increased Daylighting – Allowing more sun in is one of the unique advantages of window replacement. Modern glazing technologies only block the sun’s rays that cause discomfort (infrared) and solar damage (ultraviolet) without affecting glass clarity. As a result, you can enjoy more natural light inside and make your home healthier.

  • Less Maintenance – Compared with wood, our Fibrex® material is virtually maintenance-free. This naturally repels moisture, inhibiting decay. This is why our replacement windows can stay attractive and intact for a very long period without painting.

Let Renewal by Andersen of San Francisco help you determine which type of installation makes sense to your situation. We’re adept at both insert and full-frame replacement methods to ensure your new units can perform uncompromisingly.
