TightSeal Exteriors was contacted by a homeowner for a window replacement in Waukesha, WI. The house had older windows that were showing wear and causing drafts, driving up energy bills. Take a look!
- Old windows were drafty and difficult to open
- No low-e coating on windows letting the sun’s hot rays warm up the temperature of the home
Our home remodeling team at TightSeal Exteriors & Baths completed this window replacement in Waukesha, WI. The old windows were very difficult to open. This is a common issue in older homes. Another common problem is how drafty the windows were. Drafty windows are concerning as it often implies the seal to the window is broken. This results in hot and cold air entering your home and high energy bills are often to follow.
Drafty windows also means condensation can easily get into your home, letting moisture inside your home. This needs to be addressed immediately as it can result in mold forming inside your windows and rotting out your window frames. In this case it’s crucial to reach out to your local home remodeling contractor or home remodeling window replacement company to see what options work best for you.
The homeowners also complained of the hot sunlight penetrating through the windows and increasing the temperature in the home and needed a window replacement. Often times this happens when the windows do not have an e-coating. The low-e coating on your windows protects your furniture, carpet and home from the sun- meaning your home furnishings will not fade or discolor. In addition, the low-e coating helps to maintain your home’s temperature by blocking out the sun’s harsh and hot rays.
Our home remodeling team at TightSeal completed this window replacement in Waukesha to fix these issues.
