When is the time for replacing the joinery?
The feeling of drafts near old furniture is a sign that you are losing precious energy. If cold air enters your home in winter or warm air enters in summer, it is time to consider replacing the furniture. Even slight air drafts around windows over time have a significant impact on your energy bills for heating or cooling.
This issue can be temporarily solved by using draft stoppers, but in the long run, it is advisable to consider the option of replacing the furniture.
Inefficient windows and doors can cause significant energy loss, which is particularly noticeable in high heating bills. New, energy-efficient PVC windows and doors will save you money in the long run, and they will pay for themselves over time.
When opening or closing a window or door becomes difficult, it is a sign that it may need renovation or replacement. An inoperable or hard-to-operate window or door can pose a potential risk, especially during emergencies such as fires, floods, and so on. Additionally, it increases the risk of unauthorized entry by intruders. It is essential to address these issues promptly to ensure safety and security in your home or building.
A high-quality repair service for wooden structures is possible even for minor issues. However, addressing more complex problems, such as non-functioning mechanisms, difficult-to-open windows, or weak hinges, may not be cost-effective or feasible in all situations. When you notice that the mechanisms are not working, windows are hard to open, or hinges are weakened, it can be challenging to find a suitable service for such extensive repairs on wooden windows and doors. In these cases, it might be more practical to consider renovation or replacement options to ensure the safety, functionality, and energy efficiency of your home or building.
If the windows and doors have deteriorated, become worn out, stretched, wrinkled, the paint peels off and falls, they are difficult to clean, do not look representative, and cannot be improved by repairs or applying a new protective paint layer and varnish, it's time to replace them. The aesthetic factor significantly affects the pleasant stay in your home, and PVC joinery requires minimal effort for maintenance.
Windows consist of two or three panes of glass with air in between, serving as an insulator. If you notice condensation between the glass, it indicates that the insulation is no longer effective.
New generations of windows with low-emissivity glass, where the space between the glass is filled with gas, usually argon, which conducts heat less effectively than air, increase the insulation properties of PVC windows and doors. Low-emissivity glass helps retain heat within the room and reduces heat loss by up to 50% compared to regular glass.
The right time for replacing joinery is when it suits you, meaning you can do it at any time of the year, and it usually takes a few hours or a day.
New PVC windows and doors will solve all the mentioned problems at once. Due to the excellent insulating properties of the glass and profiles, which are excellent thermal and sound insulators, your home will become energy-efficient throughout the year. The new PVC joinery will prove to be the most cost-effective option and will provide excellent comfort. It is crucial to make the right decision when purchasing. Inform yourself and ensure a high-quality joinery that will serve you for years and come with a warranty.
