Though this aging process is hardly visible to the naked eye, it exists nevertheless and it has a lasting impact on the foundation and framework of your house.
Take your windows for example.
The constant oscillation of temperature contracts and expands your windows’ glass and frames so that over the years, microscopic pinholes and broken window seals become open air vents generating drafts in the house.
Your air conditioning then works overtime in the summer to keep your environment cool, and your furnace double-shifts in the winter to keep the same space heated.
Replacing those single-paned, decades-old aluminum or wood windows during a home remodeling project not only decreases the costs of heating and cooling your home, but also adds significant value to your property.
