Many of us look forward to summer. The warmth of the sun, the cool breezes, the occasional downpour—nothing can quite match up to the range of experiences this season brings. It is precisely these different conditions that makes summer the perfect time to replace old, leaky windows. Renewal by Andersen® of Westchester discusses a few things about leaks you need to know.
The Problem with Leaks
There are two kinds of leaks that can affect windows: water and air. Both are harmful to your home, although in different ways.
Water leakage can damage and rot the wooden frames of your windows. In the very worst cases, they can even lead to more serious moisture concerns which can cause a lot of discomfort to a home’s occupants.
Air leaks, for their part, lower a home’s energy efficiency and can badly affect the temperatures around the home. Suffice to say you don’t want to experience any of these things during the summer!
The Advantages of Leak-Free Windows
You’ll benefit greatly from quality Connecticut windows that were installed properly—efficient seals, precise fit of the window onto the wall, and damage-free components.
Proper installation also ensures that there are no cracks or spaces where air and water can leak through. From that you can expect to see less water damage to the surrounding parts of the wall come the next rainfall.
Additionally, without leaky windows you’ll have a more consistent temperature throughout your home since outside air can no longer mix and affect the air indoors. As a bonus, leak-free windows also prevent outside noise from entering.
