When contemplating an investment in composite windows, the foremost factor to consider is their age. While updating your windows is an excellent idea if they appear outdated, we recommend replacing them before they exceed their anticipated lifespan, as this can lead to diminished performance or potential moisture intrusion. Windows may wear out prematurely, making it prudent to replace them if you’re encountering drafts that compromise home comfort, heating, and cooling efficiency. Difficulty in opening, closing, or securing windows, as well as non-superficial damage to the glass or frame, are also compelling reasons for replacement.
