One of the best home improvement projects you can do to your home is updating your windows. Whether your goal is to give your home a new design element or you want that “wow” factor, replacement windows can make your investment go a long way! The days of having a single replacement window choice consisting of a wood frame window with single-pane glass are long gone. Today, replacement windows do more than flood your home with natural light, improve airflow, and offer your home a refreshed look. Advances in window technology provide ample benefits, along with a wide variety of features, options, and window materials allowing you to customize your new or replacement windows to perfectly meet your needs. In this post, we will look at six benefits new or replacement windows offer and why the Sierra Pacific windows we offer at Toulmin Windows and Doors are an excellent choice for your West/Central Alabama home!

1. New or Replacement Windows Increase Your Homes Value!

Any home improvement project or upgrade to your home comes with associated costs. However, replacement windows also come with a big payoff! According to the most recent Remodeling Cost VS Value Report, new windows can return up to 73% of their cost upon resale. Old windows can turn prospective buyers off. If you are thinking about updating your windows, do not wait until it is time to sell. Replace your windows and enjoy the benefits while you still live there – and then enjoy a great return on your investment when it comes time to sell!

2. Reduce Dust and Allergens in Your Home

Today, modern windows can include between-the-glass shades or blinds. The blinds and shades stay protected from dust, allowing fewer allergens into your home, and saving you time spent cleaning your window treatments. As an added bonus, between-the-glass shades and blinds are cordless, making them safe for children and pets.

3. Improve Your Home's Comfort

Replacement windows can make your home more comfortable by helping to reduce or eliminate drafts and hot spots in your home. Replacement windows are designed to be more energy-efficient and well sealed. Argon gas between the panes of double or triple pane models helps prevent heat transfer and reduces the number and intensity of ultraviolet light rays entering your home. Properly installed new or replacement windows form a tight seal preventing air leaks. That means climate-controlled air stays in your home, so your space is kept consistently comfortable, lowering your energy costs.

4. New or Replacement Windows Improve Energy Efficiency

New Energy Star® certified windows help reduce wear on your furnace and air conditioner and improve your home's energy efficiency. This results in lower utility bills and enhanced comfort.     Sierra Pacific replacement windows are available in many energy-efficient options. Sierra     Pacific H3 Fusion Tech windows have low conductivity meaning very little heat transfer, are naturally insulating, and stand up to the heat and humidity of an Alabama summer!

5. Replacement Windows Can Help Combat Noise Pollution

Multiple studies have shown that noise pollution s harmful to your health. Multi-pane new or replacement windows can help combat the noise pollution we live with every day in the modern world! Replacement windows provide you with a more restful environment. Insulating frames and triple-pane glass can reduce noise from lawn mowers, barking dogs, and traffic. That means more peace and quiet for your afternoon snooze!

6. New or Replacement Windows Enhance Your Home's Curb Appeal

Replacement windows can dramatically improve your home's curb appeal – both inside and out!    Wood, composite, fiberglass, and vinyl windows are available in a wide range of interior and exterior finishes to match your home's style. Enhance your curb appeal with a striking black exterior finish, or make a statement with vibrant red exterior cladding. Updating your exterior aesthetic will also increase your resale value when it comes time to sell. Today's windows are designed to save you time. Convenient features like between-the-glass blinds reduce the need to dust, and sashes that tilt in make your replacement windows easier to clean. That means less time spent cleaning and more time enjoying the view.
