As fall signals the cold months, it’s time to prepare your home. Out of all the things to consider in preparing your home for the cooler temperatures, perhaps the most important is making sure your windows remain efficient. Here are some upkeep tips to help keep your windows fully functional this season:
Inspection
Every season, inspect the condition of the frames and sash. Check for areas that may have become warped or brittle because of the sun. It also pays to check for peeling, as the paint protects your windows in Long Island from the elements and helps maintain their appearance.
Sealing
Look for signs of rot and moisture infiltration using a metal probe, as these may indicate that the seal needs replacement. A failed seal reduces your windows’ functionality and capacity. In addition, check for worn-out or ragged weather stripping and replace them with new, more efficient ones.
Find out if your windows have become hard to open or close, or if these rattle or fog up in the cold weather. If you notice any of these problems, it is advisable to order energy-efficient replacement windows in Long Island.
