When it comes to fashion, some 1990s trends seem to have aged well. Unfortunately, many homes built in the ‘90s have windows that aren’t aging so well.
Do you know when you’re home was built? If it’s pre-2000, it’s time to consider new Wallside Windows.
At Wallside Windows, we pride ourselves on being a family-run business with more than 75 years of experience. And in that time, we have seen what happens when older windows fail. If your home has 30-year-old builder-grade windows, you may know what we’re talking about.
We’ve been replacing the windows in more and more homes from this era. That’s why we know that if your home was built in the ‘90s, chances are good it’s time to make the investment in new windows.
Builders in the 1990s often installed windows without many of the energy efficient features homeowners expect today. Some may have aluminum frames and many windows from that era were made with only a single pane of glass. Today, that can mean drafty. If a builder was looking for ways to cut corners 30 years ago, you might well see it in your failing windows today.
Just the passage of time itself has led to window failure. If a home’s windows were installed incorrectly, if the construction of the glass or framing material was substandard or the windows were exposed to a great deal of sunlight and high temperatures over time, well, those are a few reasons you might be in need of high quality vinyl replacement windows.
Older wooden window frames can rot over time and aluminum frames show signs of worn gliders or rollers. Windows become difficult to slide open or closed and attempting to do so can result in broken glass.
What’s more, energy code requirements for insulated windows were instituted just after 2000, so homes that date back to the 1990s would not come close to today’s standards. When you begin to feel air leak through or notice broken window seals, it’s definitely time to consider replacement.
