6 signs that it’s time to replace your windows

Why You Should Replace your Windows

Spending money on new windows may not excite you. However, new windows reduce your energy bills. They also increase natural light in your home. This makes your living space more comfortable for your family.

When is the right time for window replacement? Six questions help you decide if you need new windows.


Can You Open and Close Your Windows?

A window may become impossible to open. Paint can seal it shut. Locks might seize or break. The window frame itself can warp over time.

Windows offer a crucial escape route during an emergency. If you cannot open your windows for any reason, you need to install new ones immediately.


Are Your Energy Bills Increasing?

Older windows lose efficiency. This significantly impacts your home’s insulation. The result? Higher energy bills. Your gas or electricity costs may rise. Heat is likely escaping through your windows. Your central heating must work harder to compensate.

Tip: Stand near your windows to check for heat loss. If you feel cooler there than in the rest of the room, you should consider replacing them.


Is There Moisture Between the Glass?

Moisture trapped between double-glazed panes ruins your view. It looks unsightly. It also blocks natural light from entering the room.

Condensation can form inside single-pane windows. This water drips down walls and causes damp. We have replaced many older windows with mould growing on the frame from condensation buildup.

Condensation usually happens when seals erode. Repairs are often expensive and fail quickly. Installing new uPVC windows is the most cost-effective solution.


Are the Panes Cracked or Chipped?

Never ignore cracks in your windowpanes. They can spread and cause a safety issue.

Damaged panes do not secure your home adequately. They are also much less energy-efficient.

Do you want windows with the ‘wow’ factor?

Windows are the eyes of your  house—and new windows can inject life into your home’s personality.

We have a range of windows that will add kerb appeal to a property and give your home an impressive face lift. For a touch of elegance take a look at our bay window range which gives a full, wide view of the scenery outside.

Tilt and turn windows are a contemporary choice that offer a blend of style and versatility for homeowners, whilst sliding sash windows provide a classic design for older homes—with modern functionality.

Are you fed up with maintaining wooden window frames?

Newly installed wooden window frames look great—but they require a lot of elbow grease to keep them in good condition. Sanding, oiling, and painting the windows is an annual job – no mean feat if you have a dozen or more windows in your home.

If the windows are left exposed to the elements rot can quickly set in—and then the real issues begin as the wood crumbles and the window becomes leaky and hard to open or close. Replacement uPVC windows will eliminate time-consuming maintenance, leaving you with more free time on your hands!
