Whether your windows are worn, inefficient or simply outdated, there comes a time when replacement is necessary. In general, quality fenestration lasts between 15 and 25 years. However, when purchasing a new home, it is sometimes difficult to know if and when the windows have been changed.
This guide will help you determine if replacing your windows is necessary, what type of window to choose, and why trust the experts at Astra Fenestration to support you in this renovation that will enhance your home.
Signs of deterioration
After having fulfilled their role of protecting against bad weather and providing natural light for more than 15 years, your windows may show signs of fatigue. If you're experiencing drafts, your electricity bill is increasing, or you notice condensation, rust, or mold on the frames, it's time to take action. Opting for quality windows ensures better energy performance and long-term savings.
Pro Tip: As with any major renovation, replacing windows requires a permit. Ask your municipality about the steps to follow.
What type of window to choose
Choosing your new windows is crucial, because it is a lasting investment. With so many shapes and types available, it can be difficult to navigate. Astra Fenestration experts can help you choose the shape, opening and material that best suits your needs. In partnership with P.H. Tech, a Quebec industry leader, we offer PVC and hybrid windows of exceptional quality.
