Every few years, it comes time to
consider how to improve your home. Old features will wear out and you need to
replace them. You can also benefit from exploring new designs and technologies
in the process. Many Florida homes have windows and doors installed over a
decade ago. The time for a window and door replacement may already be upon you.
While your windows may stop the breeze, are they energy-efficient or
hurricane-safe? Your door may latch, but does it still close snugly in the
frame?
It's only natural to plan window and door
replacements, especially in Florida, where the hot summers, hurricane storms,
and the humid tropical climate put your home exterior features through their
paces every year. If you are considering your home's energy efficiency, hurricane
safety, or the potential for a home renovation, consider the top eight reasons
to upgrade your home with impact windows and doors.
1) Storm Protection
Both impact windows and doors are rated
for the forces of a Category 5 hurricane, the strongest there is. These
oversized tropical storms often come to Florida and blow in off the Atlantic
Ocean or up from the Gulf of Mexico.
With impact windows, you can say goodbye
to hurricane shutters. Impact doors will keep your home closed and secure.
Window and door replacement is an important way to increase safety for your
family and your home.
2) Energy Efficiency
Old, rattling, or single-pane windows and
doors with light shining around the edges are common in Florida, but terrible
for your energy efficiency. Replacing your windows and doors with new impact
windows and doors can significantly boost your home's thermal seal and,
therefore, your energy efficiency all summer long.
Good windows and doors can help you save
money on air conditioning and even increase the lifespan of your AC. It doesn't
have to work as hard to keep your home comfortably cool.
3) Noise Reduction
Thicker and better-designed windows and
doors can give your home inner peace. Impact windows contain a layer of
laminate plastic, which muffles sound instead of resonating it. Impact glass
doors are designed the same way. Solid impact doors contain foam layers that
improve your home's noise reduction even more.
With new windows and doors, you might be
surprised how little traffic noise and neighborhood sounds make it into your
home, so you can enjoy peace.
4) Improve Security
Windows and doors capable of stopping
flying lawn furniture in a Category 5 hurricane can also stop a home intruder.
No one will be smashing their way in, no matter how beautifully glass-sheathed
your home appears to be, when your windows and doors are made of heavy glass
and laminate layered into an impact-resistant yet transparent sheet.
Especially if your windows and doors are
currently outdated, replacing windows and doors with impact glass is a profound
way to protect your family and home from intruders.
5) Add Value to Your Home
New features are always more valuable
than old features. Impact glass is a serious value increase compared to old
single-paned or loose double-paned glass windows and doors.
Whether you are planning to sell your
home or just planning for your home's long-term market value, window and door
replacement with impact glass is an excellent way to make your home secure, and
energy-efficient, and increase the monetary value of your property with each
upgrade.
6) Curb Appeal
Planning to sell or rent your home soon?
Want to be the envy of the neighborhood? A window and door replacement could be
the perfect cosmetic upgrade to your home's curb appeal. New impact windows are
not just durable, you can pick from a wide range of shapes, sizes, and pane
styles to improve the appearance of your home. The same is true for glass
impact doors.
Make your home a beautiful place to live.
Make it more desirable on the market with an upgrade visible from the curb.
7) UV Damage Protection
Floridians love sunny rooms with big
windows. However, direct UV light can damage your valuables, and fade your
curtains, furniture, and carpets. Fortunately, window glass technology has improved
a lot in the last few decades since many Florida homes were built. Replacing
your glass windows and doors can allow you to choose an option with integral
UV-blocking layers to protect your interior from fading while still basking in
the warm Florida sunshine.
8) Upgrade Broken Windows
Do you have a broken window or glass door
from a recent storm or accident? While the broken window may be irritating,
this is a great opportunity to replace that window with an upgrade instead of
paying for a repair on the old window design. Invest in a tightly sealed,
expertly installed new window or door made with extremely durable, safe, and
energy-efficient impact glass.
