When to replace windows

Question

My windows are almost 15 years old but they're double glazed and work ok. Is there any point in replacing them?

No long as there working fine shouldn’t spend your money

Graham · Answer

It's totally up to yourself if the windows are ok you don't need to replace them but if you want pve around your windows you can do that for a wee fresh look

As energy bills rise, it is a good idea to have an expert take a look at your windows to assess how they are holding up after fifteen years
It may be a case of having some seals replaced that may have perished but if you haven't noticed any real issues, they should be okay!

You can tell if you need new or replacement windows by checking through these statements:

My windows don’t open and close easily. In this instance, the window frames could have warped, started to rot, or may be the wrong size.

My windows are drafty. This issue occurs when a window doesn’t shut properly, the locking system no longer works, or the windows are single glazed. Windows with double or triple glazing are significantly more energy-efficient than single glazed windows, so you could end up saving quite a lot of money on your heating bills by switching.

I can hear outside noise from inside and the window is shut. This is usually a sign that the windows are very old and will need replacing.

My window is leaking. This is a sign that the seals around the glass have gone, replacing existing windows with new double glazed windows will be the most cost-effective option.

My windows are over fifteen years old. We always recommend asking an expert to properly assess if an old window is still in good enough condition or if a replacement double glazed window will be needed.


Hope that helps!

The windows that we produce now are a lot more energy efficient
and due to high costs at the moment even changing one window at a time will save money.
