The Importance Of Home Windows
Windows are one of the most important parts of a home– they impact curb appeal, security, and energy efficiency.
In older homes throughout Annapolis, Baltimore, Bowie, and Silver Spring, or homes where the windows are older --
The windows can be a serious source of heat loss, air cooling loss, even moisture or insect penetration.
In these situations, finding a good Maryland replacement window company is paramount, as replacing older windows can save money on energy bills, and add to the appearance and security of the home.
In the past, wood and aluminum windows were common.
Today, vinyl windows are the most energy efficient type of window, are exceedingly strong and durable, and energy efficient --
Helping to prevent heat or cold from passing into, or out of, the home through the window frame.
The Benefits Of New Windows
Generally, older windows in homes were made of single panes of glass --
Which were not very energy efficient.
Eventually, double paned glass became popular - this was superior, as the air space between the panes served as a buffer for the hot or cold air --
DECREASING the exchange between inside and outside.
HOWEVER, double panes filled with ambient air have been significantly improved upon in recent years --
As denser gasses which do not allow temperature transfer very well, such as argon, are now pumped between the panes.
Modern windows have benefits beyond energy efficiency as well: they are more secure, and often having latches that allow the window to be left open a few inches, yet not be forced up higher --
And, they often are installed to slide into the house, for easy cleaning of both interior and exterior.
Double Paned Windows
For period homes, these energy efficient windows can even be special ordered from your Maryland replacement window company, in wood frames or various shapes, to maintain the look of the home.
If you have single paned windows, then it is time to consult a contractor about replacing them, making the move to double paned, gas filled windows.
Even if your windows are double paned, but are older, it is important to inspect them periodically, considering the following:
1) If there is condensation, then the seal has broken, compromising the window, and they need to be replaced.
2) If you can feel airflow through the window frame, or see moisture or insect penetration, then you should consult with a window contractor.
A reputable Maryland replacement window company will offer double paned, argon filled windows.
Hire An Experienced Contractor
Such a contractor should be licensed and insured.
An experienced replacement window company can remove your old windows, fix any damage to the opening structure, and install a new custom replacement window, properly insulating between the window frame and the opening.
They will then trim out the window, inside and outside, caulking it to ensure an air tight, attractive finish.
This is usually very fast, with an entire house being done in a day.
