Confronted with aging windows, while opting for complete window replacement may appear as the straightforward answer, it may not be the best solution in every situation. Basco offers a thorough analysis to determine whether replacement is necessary or if more cost-effective and environmentally friendly options are preferable. This article guides you through decision criteria and alternative solutions, helping you choose the best option for your home regarding sustainability, functionality, and aesthetics.
Signs indicating the need for complete window replacement: Nuances and alternative solutions
1. Increase in energy bills
A rise in energy bills may signal a sealed glass unit failure. Before considering complete replacement, replacing the thermal pane (insulating glass units) is often the most economical and effective solution.
2. Difficulty in opening or closing
Windows that no longer function properly are usually due to faulty mechanisms. Replacing these parts can solve the problem at a much lower cost than a total window replacement.
3. Drafts
Drafts around windows often indicate a sealing problem. Restoring or replacing the old sealant is an economical first step before considering complete window replacement.
4. Condensation between the glass panes
Condensation between glass layers may signal sealed glass unit failure. Replacing the thermos is often the best initial solution, providing an effective repair without the cost of complete replacement.
5. Acoustic issues
An increase in outside noise may be due to a sealing problem. Restoring seals or replacing the glass with a higher-quality model can be more cost-effective than complete window replacement.
By understanding these nuances, you can choose targeted repairs that effectively address issues without necessitating complete replacement. At Basco, our expertise lies in identifying the most suitable solution for each situation, allowing you to save time and money while extending the lifespan of your windows.
