Not sure whether it’s time to replace your windows? Many Surrey and Berkshire homeowners begin to notice draughts, condensation or rising energy bills but aren’t always sure what these signs really mean.
With decades of experience installing high-quality replacement windows across the region, Sheerwater Glass has identified the key indicators that your windows may no longer be performing as they should. Here’s how to recognise when it’s time for an upgrade, what your options are, and why choosing a trusted local specialist makes all the difference.
How to Tell When It’s Time to Replace Your Windows
Draughts and Cold Air
If you can feel air coming through your windows even when they’re closed, your seals may have worn down. This not only makes your home less comfortable but also causes your heating system to work harder.
Condensation or Fogging Between Panes
Condensation trapped between double-glazed panes usually means the unit has failed. Once this happens, it can’t insulate properly, which affects your energy efficiency.
Difficulty Opening or Closing
Windows that stick, jam or don’t lock smoothly are a clear sign that the frame or mechanism is in need of a replacement.
Noticeable Noise
If outside noise seems louder than it used to, your existing glazing may no longer be performing as it should. Modern double or triple glazing provides excellent noise reduction, helping you enjoy a more peaceful home.
Visible Wear or Damage
Chipped frames, cracked glass, or peeling paint not only spoil your home’s appearance but can also affect insulation and safety. Replacing damaged windows restores both style and protection.
Outdated Appearance
Windows play a huge part in how your home looks. If yours are beginning to show their age, a new design can transform your property with improved performance and a fresher feel.
