Are your basement windows old, worn and outdated? Do you have water leaking in when it rains causing your basement to be damp and cool? Does the heat in your basement escape through cracks around the seal of these old windows? If the answer is yes to any of these questions then you could be causing an increase in heating bills or damage to the foundation of your home from the water entering the window. Either of these issues should be addressed immediately before the costs of repairs mount. To do this you should contact a company that sells Aluminium Basement Windows.
This type of company will be able to come out to your residence and give you a written estimate on the replacement of your basement windows. You will be able to choose a type of window from a list that may include thermal break, single hung, sliding or double hung. These types of windows are made from an aluminium alloy and vary in thickness. Once you have agreed to the estimate and type of windows, the company you choose will order the supplies and schedule an installation date. On the date of installation the highly trained installers will arrive at your home, remove the old windows and replace them with the new ones. These windows will be watertight and sealed with silicon treated weather stripping that are resistant to fungus and mildew. By replacing these windows you have created a tight seal between the windows and the foundation in your home that will resolve the dampness in your basement. Depending on the types of windows your order, some may include screens that will allow you to open the windows in the warmer weather to allow fresh air to circulate in your basement.
While you are in the process of replacing your basement windows you may want to consider replacing the other windows in your home. How about a beautiful bay window in the front of your home that will allow the morning sunlight in? When replacing these windows you are ensuring that your home is tight and secure from the inclement weather. You can think of this as an investment in the future because over the years the savings in your heating and cooling bill will make up for the cost of the new windows. In turn this upgrade will also increase the value of your home. Click here for more information.
