WHY REPLACE OLD WINDOWS?
The Learning Center
Some homes must weather tough environmental conditions by virtue of their locations -- such as areas of heavy industry or those along
the coast. Airborne particles abound in these environments, and they stick to windows, which means frequent washing. Some window
products are available to help ease the chore. Many double hung windows now feature tilt-in sash designs. A few double hung designs
have sashes that swing-in for weightless, hands-free cleaning. There are specially-designed sliding windows that incorporate sashes
that are center-pivot for easy cleaning. This means the exterior glass can be cleaned from the inside. If grilles cause cleaning
headaches for you, consider investing in windows with grilles built-in between the panes of glass. This will make it considerably easier
to clean the windows. If replacement is an option for you, many companies offer glass with a special coating on the outside of the glass
that allows it to stay cleaner with less water-spotting.
