Window Replacement Part 1: Key Factors to Consider

Is it time to replace your old windows? Different homeowners have different reasons for investing in a window replacement project. Some are motivated by aesthetic issues, while others are more concerned with energy efficiency.

In Renewal by Andersen® of Portland’s opinion, here are the main factors you should consider when determine whether the time is right to tackle window replacement:

Structural Integrity

Sometimes, replacing your windows is more of a necessity than an option. If a storm leaves your old units in disrepair, you’ll likely need new ones. You should part ways with storm-damaged windows because they compromise your home’s security, weather resistance, energy efficiency and, of course, beauty.

Energy Efficiency

In today’s window replacement market, saving energy is the name of the game. If you still have inefficient windows, like single-pane or aluminum-framed unites, you should let them go because they’re an energy drain. Energy-saving products help reduce your energy consumption while making your home a more comfortable environment.

Maintenance Requirements

Are you tired of scraping and repainting your aging windows every few years? Upgrading to low-maintenance windows will spare you the ordeal. Resisting the effects of moisture and UV radiation, low-maintenance windows require nothing but occasional, basic cleaning.

Style

Getting stunning replacement windows is perhaps the simplest way to give your home a makeover inside and out. Window replacement is one of the least time-consuming home improvements, with the installation usually taking about one day. In less than 24 hours, you can spruce up your space.
