Often times when a window frame cracks, many homeowners try to fix it or refrain from using that particular window all together. While, the window may function correctly after a quick fix, chances are this is not a sustainable solution. Cracks in your window frame can let in drafts and moisture.

Signs that is time to replace your old windows

There are a number signs that may indicate that your windows need to be replaced, such as:

Air is seeping through your windows

Your window during the winter months should keep cold air out, if it is failing to do so then it may be time to replace them. As windows age, they lose their strength and therefore, they allow air to seep through even when they are closed. Air seeping through your windows will impact your energy consumption. You may not feel a draft but you may see your energy bill go up.

Soft, chipped, moulded or damaged window frame

The window frame is key to support all other elements of the window frame. They may become damaged due to excess water exposure. Window frames may crack over time and this may also indicate that your window may need to be replaced.

Outdoor noise travels inside

While no window is able to complete block out noise, they do provide some level of noise reduction. If you start to notice that even with your windows closed, the noise level is the same as if they were open, then chances are you need to replace your windows. The reason you may hear outdoor noise more is because your windows do not seal property anymore, or they were poorly made from the beginning.

Condensation build up

The seal of your window ensures that gases in the glass pane remain and perform their function. If and when the seal breaks, the gases will begin to escape and the window does not function properly. The breaking of the seal leads to condensation build up on the glass.

Wear and tear

Many windows have an average lifespan of anywhere from 10 to 20 years, eventually with time each window shows sign of aging. Windows start to wear down due to the beating they take from the weather. If you live in a location that gets excessive amounts of rain or snow, your window frame may begin to rot. Furthermore, the frame may begin to start warping.

As a homeowner it is crucial that you pay attention to the condition of your windows and either have your windows repaired or replaced with brand new ones.
