When you’re considering windows replacement, it’s not just about enhancing the beauty of your home but also performance. And it’s not just a Winter thing because Summer is also a great time to enjoy the benefit of new windows. Modern windows offer an abundance of benefits including insulation and comfort. RIHI The Home Improvement Specialist wants to share our top five benefits of making a smart investment in replacing your older windows.
-
Energy Efficiency
Windows today have advanced insulation minimizes heat transfer, keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Double and triple-pane glass, filled with gas, and low-emissivity coatings work together to create barriers against temperature extremes. By reducing the need for constant heating or cooling, energy-efficient windows can lead to big savings on your utility bills.
-
Protection Against Damaging UV Rays
Harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can fade furniture, flooring, and other interior furnishings over time. Most modern windows have low-E coatings that block a significant portion of UV radiation while still allowing natural light to enter. This protects your belongings from sun damage especially during the longer, sunnier days of summer.
-
Reduce Noise
The RIHI Team knows with summer right around the corner, there will be more outdoor activity. And yes, more noise. So alongside thermal insulation, new windows also provide better sound insulation. Multiple glass panes, laminated glass, and specialized seals help dampen the noise from outside. And this technology, creates a quieter and more peaceful indoor environment. This is especially ideal for homes located on busy streets or in more urban areas.
-
Stop Drafts
Older windows are typically draftier, allowing cold air during winter and hot air in the summer. Today’s windows feature improved sealing techniques such as weather stripping and tight-fitting frames. This basically eliminates drafts and maintains a consistent indoor temperature. This not only enhances your comfort but will reduce your utility bill.
-
Improved Comfort
Ultimately, the insulation benefits of new windows contribute to a more comfortable living space year-round. With better temperature regulation, reduced drafts, and better soundproofing, you can enjoy a much more comfortable home environment.
