Do you have drafts coming in from your windows? Do your windows look old and worn out? If so, then there’s a good chance that you need new windows. The cost of having new windows installed can be overwhelming, though. So how do you know if it is time to invest in new windows for your home or business? Here are some signs that it may be time to replace the ones you currently have.
If you have single-pane windows, it is time for new ones to cause drafts during cold weather or fog up when the temperature changes outside. When double-glazed glass is installed, it helps keep cold air from seeping into a room and cuts down on noise outside, making for a more comfortable indoor environment year-round.
While double glazing will help reduce drafts in your home, there may still be times you notice them coming through your window frames, so you may have to investigate further. Here are some further signs.
If you notice draughts coming in from your windows are causing you to increase the temperature on your thermostat, it is time to invest in new windows. If you have multiple windows in your home or business that are drafty, it can cost a lot of money to replace them all. You may need insulation added around the frame and new weather stripping installed where there is damage. While this will help cut down on drafts moving through your frames, cold air will still come through your windows if they don’t seal properly.
If you notice increasing condensation forming between panes of glass on an older window, this is a sign that it has begun to fog up, making it harder for natural light into the room and will also cause drafts during cold weather. This means a seal has worn out in your windows, and you will need a new one to remedy the issues you face.
If you feel that your windows are starting to look old and worn out, you may want to look into replacements. If you have older wooden framed windows, they can warp over time, causing them not to close correctly or even letting water leak through the sealant during heavy rainfall. Older metal window frames corrode with age which causes rust stains on your walls or ceiling below them. Newer window materials are much more durable and do not warp with age.
Finally, if you notice water stains on the ceiling or walls of your room below old windows during heavy rainfall, you must replace them soon. This can be an extremely dangerous health hazard, especially if the water seeps into the electrics. You may need to replace the whole window and frame if there is a major leak. A reputable installer can walk you through your specific options.
When it comes time for new windows at your home or business, you will want to ensure that the installation professionals are experienced. A new window will not do any good if installed improperly, causing drafts and water leaks into your building structure. Contact us for your new windows today!
What our customers say
This fantastic door was supplied and installed last year by E&A Windows. This year I noticed that the door was sticking and becoming difficult to open. I called and the very next day Arthur arranged for a team to stop by and adjust. Fantastic service and the door is opening and closing beautifully 😍
Very professional company that we would highly recommend. From initial conversations with Rob, Alan for all our measurements, and John and his fitting team, we couldn’t be happier with the end result. E&A provides a first class service and helped us with organising bespoke stained glass for our front door and side windows, as well as good recommendations for further works not linked to their services. The fitting team were exceptionally polite, extremely tidy, and considerate. We chose Timberlook windows in Painswick and an Endurance door in the same colour. Happy customers! Thank you 🤩
I wish I’d read the one star review. I also received bully, harassment and intimidation from a member of the team on a dark night with no one else around. Can’t be bother to spend the time writing more details. Disgusting behaviour. Should be reported to the police for the way they acted. Don’t go near this company.
Very professional experience from start to finish with all parts of the process through to installation delivered efficiently. Adrian did a fantastic job when installing, professional, polite & helpful and could not have asked for any more from him.
Great experience, dealing with Erez was a joy from start to finish and very happy with my windows! Highly recommend
E&A Windows replaced all of the windows and front door in my house as well as replacing the framing and glass panels of my conservatory. The price was very competitive and the project was executed professionally and efficiently. The fitting team were excellent, very considerate as well as careful and tidy. I can't fault them at all and I would recommend E&A windows.
Brilliant company. Everything was spot on from start to finish. A pleasure to work with Eres. Nothing was too much trouble. The product looks brilliant and the fitters were real professionals. Highly recommend!!!!
We bought our new windows and doors from A and E and the whole experience was a pleasure. Extremely professional, excellent service, competitive prices and brilliant attention to detail. But what sets them apart from the rest is their customer care. Two and half years on we had a slight problem with the lock on one of the doors, I called and someone came that afternoon and fixed it immediately. Amazing company and Amazing service, thankful to a good friend who recommended them to us!
From start to finish, from our initial visit by Erez, then Arthur the surveyor & the fitting team, John Peter & Andrew E&A exceeded expectations. We are delighted with the windows & the finish. I think my Husband is now convinced we did the right thing after his initial reluctance to replace our windows. We chose Timberlook windows which have a wood effect finish & are perfect for our old house.The team from E&A Windows who did the fitting did a fantastic job. We were really impressed by the attention to detail at every stage of the job, but particularly the last day where they took such care to get all the trim right & looking good. Our house was built in 1890 & nothing is easy as no wall is even but they really took time to get it right & looking good. Andrew spent a long time cutting back & filling & sanding the rotten wood around the kitchen window so it is all ready for our decorator when he comes to paint the rest of the house & the excellent work he has done will ensure we have no further rot! The tidying up after they finished was again, well beyond our expectations - they even swept the grass! Every day they tidied & swept before going home.All three guys worked so well as a team. They also work so hard, not taking any proper breaks! On talking to them, they said that they are able to do such a good job as they are given a realistic time scale for each job by E&A (unlike other companies} so they have plenty of time to make sure the job is done to the highest standard without rushing! They did the job with such enthusiasm & clearly take much pride in their work!I cannot recommend this company enough!
From the first moment when Arthur came round to advise, measure-up and quote for the job we felt we were in good hands. And his team of installers provided the best service. I always think that the best test is if something needs further attention and in this case they returned promptly to fix a small issue and nothing was too much trouble. Our new doors have transformed the back of our house and we highly recommend this company for work of the highest quality. Thank you Arthur and team!
They have fitted a new back door, front door and front room and kitchen window. Great service, price and quality. We are very happy!
We got our back and front doors replaced by E&A Windows and we couldn't be happier with the job they did. Erez was so helpful as took the time to come to our home to give us a quote, explaining all our options thoroughly and clearly without being pressuring in the slightest. The quality of both doors was fantastic and Adrian’s installation was fast and completed to a very high standard. He was also very helpful. We would highly recommend E&A Windows and will definitely use them again for any future double glazing needs. Thanks so much!
Very professional service! During my initial consultation, I was fortunate enough to deal with the owner of the company. He visited my property and spent a few hours talking me through design options and his recommendations. His recommendations were very insightful and ensured my build looked elegant and modern while retaining the functionality required for an active family of 4. The build process was equally professional with the construction team arriving when they said, treating my property with respect and cleaning up after they finished each day...something not often done by today's tradesmen. I've recommend this company to my parents.
I have just had new windows installed by E&A Windows and I must say I was very impressed. Arthur the owner of the company was so helpful and supportive throughout the process. I don't know much about windows so was skeptical at first, but I felt at ease very quickly. The guys who came to fit the windows (John, Christie and Peter) were absolute legends. They were extremely friendly and so so helpful, and the respect they gave me, my elderly parents and our home was exceptional. They took care of our home as if it was their own. I have never come across such professionals, not only did they do a fantastic job , but they went well beyond, seemed like nothing was impossible. They were with us only for 3 days but my parents were actually sad to see them go. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to fit new windows.
