10 reasons why it’s time to replace your single glazed sash windows
Do you live in a property with single glazed sash windows? Are you experiencing any problems with your windows? Are you thinking about replacement windows but you’re unsure whether it’s necessary? Here are 10 reasons why it’s definitely time to replace your single glazed sash windows.
1. Draught problems
Rattling window frames which allow cold air into your home? Draughts are one of the first signs that your windows need replacing.
2. Interior condensation
Have you noticed condensation on the inside of your windows, particularly in the morning? If so, the seals have probably failed and the frames may have become warped, twisted, or at the very least severely weathered.
3. Poor energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is an important consideration for modern homeowners. Defective windows with poor energy efficiency levels will cost you money on your heating bills and increase your carbon footprint.
4. Exterior noise problems
We all want to be able to relax in our home. Noisy neighbours, traffic sounds, and early morning bird song can all disrupt your home’s tranquillity. Sound proof your home with replacement uPVC double glazing.
5. Continual expensive maintenance
Tired of continual sanding, painting, and repair work? Maintaining wooden windows can be costly and time consuming. uPVC sash windows will stay looking new with only minimal maintenance.
6. Security issues
Old single glazed windows can become a security risk if not kept in good condition. Protect your family and belongings before it’s too late.
7. Tired aesthetic
When your home’s appearance is lowering the tone of the neighbourhood, it’s time for a window upgrade. Boost your home’s kerb appeal by freshening up the exterior aesthetic.
8. Expensive insurance premiums
Old single glazed windows are a significant factor for insurance companies. Newly fitted double glazing can considerably reduce your home insurance premiums.
9. Low market value
Whether you want to sell your home or make an investment for the future, a window upgrade is an excellent idea. Single glazed sash windows can put off potential buyers and negatively impact your property’s value.
10. Damp, mould, water, and weather penetration
When your home begins to let in water it’s time to act quickly. Damp problems, if left untreated can cause serious structural damage to your property.
