Replacement Windows in Australia
Double glazing generally has a lifespan of around twenty years, although this can be longer if looked after properly or much shorter if the windows are of poor quality. Once your windows reach that age, however, it may be time to consider replacing them.
If you have old, single-glazed windows, taking the opportunity to replace windows with double-glazing is an opportunity you shouldn’t ignore. It’s something that will repay you with increased comfort, lower energy bills and a variety of other benefits.
Signs that Replacement Double Glazed Windows are Needed
Irrespective of the age of your existing double-glazed windows, several signs indicate they’re due for replacement:
- Condensation between the panes of glass. This indicates that the seal between the panes has failed and the inert gas that provides thermal properties has leaked away. The windows will therefore not be as efficient and the house will be colder in winter and hotter in summer as a result.
- Water leaks indicate the windows are no longer weatherproof. This can be caused by the seals around the glass or the frame having failed or by drainage holes becoming blocked.
- Draughts also indicate seals have failed or the integrity of the window is compromised, resulting in your property having reduced comfort levels.
- Chips or cracks in the glass or cracking of the frame will eventually get worse, making your home colder in winter and more prone to mould.
- Increased noise levels when the windows are closed will indicate that the acoustic insulation is not working as well as it did previously.
- Difficulties in opening and closing windows generally occur if the frame swells or warps, causing the mechanism to become misaligned, or if debris or dirt builds up in places that are hard to access.
- Increased energy bills may mean that your heating is on more in winter and your air conditioning is working harder during the summer to maintain a comfortable temperature.
Benefits from Replacement Double-Glazed Windows
Replacing your old and deficient windows with our high-quality, energy-efficient windows will provide plenty of benefits, both financial and otherwise:
- Improved comfort due to required temperatures being more easily maintained throughout the year.
- Reduced energy bills due to a lower reliance on air conditioning and artificial heating.
- Better security because modern double-glazed windows are harder to break into due to secure locking systems and tougher glass.
- Less noise due to the increased sound insulation of modern windows.
- Better aesthetics that will improve the appearance and value of your property.
