End Chilly Cincinnati Nights with Replacement Windows

If you’re tired of bundling up inside your own home during the cool Cincinnati fall and even colder winter, it’s time to start thinking about how replacement windows could help keep you comfy and cozy. The windows in your Cincinnati home are one of the weakest points when it comes to heat loss. Upgrading your windows can solve a number of problems to ensure that you stay nice and warm on chilly nights.

Sealing Up Drafts

The biggest indicator that your windows have issues is draftiness. If you feel the cool air blowing on you every time you walk past your windows, you know there is a leak. Perhaps you’ve even tried quick fixes from the big box stores with limited luck. If you’re tired of putting up heavy curtains and blankets to keep the drafts under control, new windows are in order. Replacement windows will be installed to a perfect fit and sealed properly to guarantee that the cold air stays out.

Window and Glass Insulation

Another area where your windows could be creating problems is the insulation. Older window materials like thin vinyl and aluminum easily pass heat through the frame. By choosing replacement windows with more durable frame materials like Fibrex, and special insulating pockets on the inside, reduce the amount of heat that is coming in at the edges of the window.

At the same time, windows with dual panes add an extra layer of invisible insulation as well. The air pocket between the glass panes is filled with a special inert gas mix that cuts heat transfer down drastically. The results are so impressive you will be able to feel a difference every time you walk past your windows.

Snug Sashes

If your old windows don’t close just right, they could be letting that chilly night air into your home as well. New windows utilize special locks and latches, as well as modern weatherstripping to ensure that your window is completely sealed when both sashes are closed. You won’t have to wrestle with warped sashes and other issues any longer when you upgrade.

These are just a few of the biggest ways that replacement windows can help protect your Cincinnati home against the weather.
