How do I know if I need a new window or door?
Through our extensive experience replacing glass, full windows, and doors, we have seen an unfortunate trend from manufacturers of creating an increasing number of low quality products that are being installed into homes. Here is some helpful advise and tips on how to tell if your home needs a replacement of the current windows or doors:
Give the glass on your window or door a quick tap with your nail or finger. If you hear a higher pitched "ting" when you tap on the glass, it is a sign that your glass or window may need replacement. Higher quality 1/8th inch or thicker glass will make a lower pitched sound.
Wood and Vinyl are typically better glass replacement candidates, whereas aluminum frames are typically worthwhile fully replacing. Aluminum is a significant conductor of both heat and cold, leading to more failed seals, higher rates of thermal pumping, and build up of fog and condensation inside of the window. If you have wood or vinyl windows, it may be a good option to look into glass replacement as a less expensive solution to foggy windows if your frames are not broken or compromised.
Breaks, rot, or mildew on your actual frames. These are all signs that the window frame is not performing correctly. The solution can be as simple as re-sealing and trimming the outside of the frame, but these are all possible indicators that the best solution may be to upgrade to a better performing window.
