A building without windows cannot be called a dwelling house. They are necessary for lighting and ventilation of rooms. But because of the poor quality of wooden frames, popular with private builders, they will not be the best solution for a cottage. Wood due to the specific climate of the province of Alberta will quickly fail. People inside will suffer from drafts, freezing cold winter days and discomfort from constantly wet windows and mold on the windowsill.
More efficient in terms of economy and usability are windows made of polyvinyl chloride. Plastic profiles have hydrophobic properties and tolerate temperature fluctuations well. They retain their appearance and dimensions in winter and summer. Internal air chambers and multi-layer double-glazed windows prevent the dissipation of heat energy to the outside.
Canadian Canglow offers window replacement services in Red Deer. Our experts will install new frames and sashes with double-glazed windows to replace the outdated wooden structures. With our help, you will reduce your utility bills, improve the appearance of your home, and increase the comfort and safety of your home.
How to know when your windows are broken
Window frame defects are not always obvious. Often, cottage owners continue to operate them in winter and summer. They do not realize that due to loose fitting sashes and gaps, the money they pay for heating and air conditioning is simply dissipated to the street.
Thinking about installing new home windows in Red Deer should be considered when you notice these symptoms:
- Changes in the size and shape of the frame. Deformation occurs due to wood getting wet and constant temperature fluctuations. Cottage residents cannot close or open the structure without additional efforts.
Such breakages can be repaired with the help of a locksmith or carpenter. But constant repairs will sooner or later cause complete deterioration of the window. It is better to prevent it and replace the construction in advance with plastic. Investments in their purchase will pay off many times over due to savings on operation.
2. Appearance of gaps. Changes in the size of the window lead to the fact that its sash begins to fit loosely to the frame. In addition, the deformation can lead to delamination or destruction of the foam that seals the gap between the window opening strapping and the wooden structure.
Eliminating gaps may only be a temporary solution to the problem. But with the next thaw or frost, they will reappear. The inhabitants of the house will be cold because of draughts and suffer from colds.
When replacing windows, builders install frames with rubber seals. They select the dimensions of the structures so as to reduce the gap between the house wall and the plastic. As a result, the customer receives enclosing elements that separate him from the cold or heat almost hermetically.
3. Extraneous sounds when opening. The symptom of a breakdown of a plastic window in the house will be creaking, crunching, scraping when opening the window or pressing on the wooden frame. They occur due to deformation of profiles or wear and tear of fittings.
By themselves, such sounds are not harmful to anything but your mental health. But they indicate the end of the service life of the hardware. It is better to install a new window in advance, than in emergency mode to fix the breakdown in the middle of a harsh winter.
Canadian window company Canglow uses products from well-known manufacturers when manufacturing windows, which guarantees their reliability and long service life. We can install reinforced hinges that can withstand heavy sashes and protect the house from burglary.
4. Condensation and frost formation. The accumulation of moisture on the glass and its freezing in cold weather is due to the high thermal conductivity of the material. These phenomena occur due to the temperature difference between inside and outside. But the main problem is that the heat generated by heaters escapes through the glass to the outside. The owner has to spend more money to heat the house.
You can get rid of this nuisance by replacing old home windows in Red Deer. In new PVC structures, engineers install double- or triple-glazed windows. Air or argon between the panes eliminates the cold bridge that cools the room.
Installing new windows avoids mold growth. Moisture will not condense on the glass, so the humidity in your home will not increase.
Advantages of plastic windows
PVC is the most technologically advanced material for window frames and door sashes. It is adapted for use in Canadian climates and has these features:
- Last 50+ years without the need for constant repair and maintenance;
- Retain their original color, do not yellow when exposed to sunlight;
- Will not deform due to contact with moisture;
- Will not become covered with mold and mildew in damp environments.
Profiles for windows are made taking into account the requirements of international construction and sanitary norms, so their operation is completely safe.
