Choosing to replace your old windows is a big decision. Not only is it a large financial investment but once you choose the style and type there’s no going back. That being said, fall is the perfect time to take the plunge and commit to upgrading your windows. Here’s why.
Fall Aesthetics
Autumn is a beautiful time of year with the changing colour of the leaves and moody atmosphere. People try to capture the aesthetic of fall with their fashion choices as well as in the way they choose to decorate their homes.
Being warm and cozy are the main themes; pumpkin spice is in the air and oranges, browns, and blacks, are used as colour schemes. But how do windows fit into the mix, you ask?
Say goodbye to ugly old windows and upgrade to a more modern style that will complement your home and add a wonderful aesthetic just in time for autumn. Thin black frames are the new trend this year, sporting a modern feel that adds a bold and dramatic look to any home.
Imagine large bay windows with black vinyl frames that make your home look more sophisticated. Add a pumpkin on the window seat, a wreath of colourful leaves on the glass, and some candles, and you have the perfect décor for autumn. Black frames are definitely a show-stopper and you’ll have both friends and neighbours complimenting the new look.
Practical Uses
Window replacement won’t only make your home look more beautiful but it’ll also help you save money. Newer vinyl units are much more energy-efficient with multi-hollow chamber technology, weather-stripping, and a superior seal.
As the weather gets colder you’ll want to make sure that your home is properly sealed so that it stays warm and cozy. Old windows with broken seals or frames are one of the biggest reasons why people lose money over the winter on heating costs.
When choosing someone to install new units for you, check if they are partnered with ENERGY STAR® and whether or not they are Health Smart Windows® certified. This ensures that their units are designed with the highest standard of energy-savings and personal well-being in mind.
This is because Health Smart Windows® use a type of foam called Super Spacer® in between the metal in the units to reduce condensation build-up, which can be harmful to both you and your windows. Condensation and humidity in units is a breeding ground for mould, which is extremely detrimental to human health. It’s also bad for your units which will begin to experience rot over time.
A Smart Choice
If you’re windows are old and decaying, it’s definitely time for an upgrade. Don’t run the risk of wasting energy and money, or allowing mould to grow in your home. Autumn is the best time to consider a window replacement, because not only will it give your house a much-needed facelift, but it’ll also make it a happier and healthier place.
