Windows & Doors Company in Wasaga Beach

People in Wasaga Beach are enjoying the advantages of their new energy efficient windows and patio doors, including money savings and better looks. What are the signs that your windows and doors need to be replaced?

Much attention is being given to energy consumption and cost due to the high expense of natural resources. Energy costs are increasing while household incomes remain stagnant.

Intelligent investments are needed to both cut immediate costs and plan wisely for the future. Reinforcing the airtight quality of one’s home and making it much more efficient is one of those important solutions.

Here are a few of the signs that tell the story your home is experiencing energy loss:

• Steady and predictable drafts. You avoid spending any length of time in close proximity to your windows or doors. In extreme cases, you may even be avoiding an entire room. This means you’re really wasting valuable space with unused space in the home which still requires heating and cooling.
• Cold items near doors. Are your shoes or boots that you keep in your hallways near the front door super-cold when you put them on? Not a fun way to start your winter day. (Coffee only gives the illusion of fixing this problem.)
• You have attempted to weather strip around doors and windows but aren't sure if the plastic film window kits are effective. These kits may help the windowpane, but do not stop air from escaping the frame or the area around the window.
• Any form of water damage, such as stains or even seepage. Definitely not a good sign. Despite the strong wish of homeowners, water damage does not repair itself. Once it is experienced, replacement materials are a must.
• Visual damage to windows or doors. Oftentimes when there’s window or door damage, again, the energy seal can be broken. This is true when windows and doors become askew or warped.
• Unlike today’s modern styled double or triple pane windows, the older single pane windows did not have the option of a UV protection coating. In these cases, fabric fading of both curtains and nearby furniture is quite common.
• Your neighbours sound like they’re actually inside your home and not in their own backyard. Sound travels and will enter through the smallest of gaps. Soundproofing is a great bonus of a well sealed and insulated home. Hearing one’s neighbours is best left for real face-to-face get-togethers and community gatherings.

My windows are looking pretty tired and a couple have fogged over, does this mean it’s time to replace all them?

Think about budget and age. If just a few windows are damaged, only those may need to be replaced. However, it could be difficult to find matching new quality windows if they are old.

Having said that, with the windows looking “tired”, there will be two incentives to replace all of them. Firstly, buying in bulk and getting the job done in one fell swoop, as they say. This is definitely more budget friendly.

Replacement windows and doors can give your home a more streamlined, cohesive look. Our company in Wasaga Beach can professionally assess and customise replacement windows  and doors to best suit your home.
