First things first, replacing your windows is a major home remodel. So, you have to be aware that it is going to be inconvenient in a few ways. You might even need to stay somewhere else while the work is being done (although this is not always the case). And even though replacing all the windows in your home can cost a pretty penny, it is an investment that you will not regret. There are so many great perks to having new windows in your home.
This article takes a look at the 2 of the best reasons to invest in new residential windows.
The Style
Many people think of new windows as a functional upgrade. Sure, it is great having windows that work perfectly and have better efficiency. But, many people don't fully consider how drastically windows can alter the look of both the inside and outside of the home. Even if your new windows are pretty much the same style and color as what you currently have in your home, they will make your home look so much newer.
Windows are important accents to any home style. So, when your windows look old, they can make the rest of your house look a bit older. Also, when you replace your windows, you have a chance to alter the frames, coverings, sills, and other decorative features around them. If you spend a little extra money to also update these style features, they can make your home look newer and more contemporary.
The Ease of Use
If you have old windows that are hard to open and close, you might be dissuaded from opening them. That is, rather than open your windows to let some fresh, cold air in, you might instead decide to just turn on a fan or AC unit. If you're doing this, you aren't fully utilizing your windows and you're going to love having new frames that are super easy to operate.
New window technologies have made residential fixtures more advanced and easier to operate. They have features like soft closing hinges that prevent slamming so the windows open and close smoothly every time. There are also a number of modern smart features that can be added to powered windows; you might be able to open and control your window fixtures with an app on your phone.
Windows have advanced greatly over the past decade. You'll be amazed how much of a difference new windows can make.
