The Reasons Why You Should Change Old Windows and Doors

Climate change …. 2 important words that ought to be influencing the way you think now and the actions you take. Those leaking windows and doors allow your hard earned dollars to float away wasted! Can you afford this?  Another big reason? Your children’s future!  The future resale value of your home…the chill in the air in your living room on a snowy night, peeling paint or, worse yet, mold growing on them, too? Dangerous!

We all know energy is expensive, the demand for it uses scarce resources and inflation has raised the cost of energy.  What can we do? The answers are many. First, most of home windows and doors have no “thermally broken windows”, resulting in drafts, a lowered room temperature, and a higher energy bill.

We know there are symptoms of inefficient windows and doors and here are a few:

• High energy bills
• Drafts 
• Damaged windows
• Failures of locking mechanisms
• Extra security or soundproofing is needed
• Condensation (water) constantly builds up
• You have single-pane windows
• Windows are stuck, painted over or tough to open or closed
• Mold or decaying frames (mold is a serious health risk; remove your child from any room with mold)
• Outdated appearance

About thermally broken window frames:

They are insulated against hot and cold conduction of temperature and they prevent energy loss. Thermally broken windows will improve your home’s energy efficiency, saves you money on electricity and gas and also lowers your carbon footprint making your family part of a solution

Low-E Insulating Glass is great and it fits into the future in any climate in the country. It blocks almost 85% of ultra-violet rays when used on dual-pane windows.

The frame is critical part of making doors and windows. Standard frames are a good conductor of heat and cold and that means the frame can lose or gain heat based on outdoor temperature. This, of course, will ultimately impact the performance of double glazed windows.

Let’s run down a list of advantages of investing in new windows or doors or both.

1-Increased Comfort
2-Energy Savings
3-Noise Reduction
4-Easier Maintenance
5-Better Curb Appeal
6-UV Protection

Home improvements are necessary not only because of the comfort and safety of your family…chills, drafts, allergies, winter are not good for small kids or big ones! Also, leaving your home in the long run “improvement-less” will reduce your its value. The tech stuff is very interesting. However, the average home owner wants to know, at the core, do new windows and doors save homeowners’ money.

The answer is yes. How much money? It depends on many factors in your home and in the window or door you chose and the weather. Suffice to say we have so many choices for so many reasons but rest assured we have bi fold doors, pivot doors, French doors, lift and slide door, slim slide door just to name a few. And we also have motorized windows, bi-fold windows, sliding windows, lift and fold windows and more.

Also, the Department of Energy urges us to think about the environment and saving still more with some simple tips. Energy bills are high and even though new windows and doors will save you bucko dollars, DOE suggestions are important.

Vision Art Aluminum changes lives and that can mean pointing out things like this. Life is stressful and complex these days but some simple things remain important. The experts say like the future of our planet is at stake. With inflation, putting money in your pocket during tough times is worth considering. These cold weather tips from DOE are worthwhile for the comfort of your family even if you replace doors and windows and if you don’t or can’t these tips will help:

• The DOE urges:“Close your curtains and shades at night to protect against cold drafts; open them during the day to let in warming sunlight.
• Install tight-fitting, insulating window shades on windows that feel drafty after weatherizing. Consider insulated cellular shades, which are “honeycombed” and can be raised or lowered.
• “Apply low-e film on the inside of your windows to keep heat from radiating out. Films are rated by the NFRC and will be rated by the AERC.
• “Alternatively, install low-e exterior or interior storm windows, which can save you 12%–33% on heating and cooling costs, depending on the type of window already in­stalled in the home. They should have weather-stripping at all movable joints; be made of strong, durable materials; and have inter­locking or overlapping joints.
• “Repair and weatherize your current storm windows, when necessary.”
