26 Mar Window Issues Part 1: Signs of Faulty Windows
Window issues are always a bothersome problem. They may be worn out or past their prime, or, in the case of a sliding window, its track might have deteriorated. If you’re unfamiliar with the issues you need to look out for, Renewal by Andersen® of Florida has listed a few signs that you need new windows.
Durability
The first issue you may encounter is if your window is lacking in performance. Problems like decaying frames or broken glass are not uncommon and if left unchecked can expose your family to dangers that could have been easily prevented. These issues can already be visible to you just by observing them; are they hard to open? Do they fog up? These are clear signs when your windows already need to be replaced.
Energy Efficiency
Though you may not notice these issues immediately, windows can strain your power consumption. Sure, your large picture windows on the porch are stationary, but in reality, they should be preventing any exterior heat from coming into your home. If it’s not insulating your home, then it’s making it hard to maintain the ideal temperature inside your home, causing unnecessary spikes in your power usage. These problems may be minor, but their effects are cumulative.
Aesthetic Value
Your window is supposed to add value to your home, which includes its appearance. Just like an outfit, each piece of the home has a function but the overall look should blend well together to make it more appealing. This is also important if you’re looking to increase your curb appeal.
