Windows are a source of natural light for your home, and they also allow you to enjoy the view from your yard. When you upgrade to newer model windows, you get a number of energy efficient advantages and the option to upgrade to a laminated glass that will help to keep your home and loved ones secure. Laminated glass also helps reduce noise and harmful U.V. rays. It will protect your furniture and rugs from damage and help these items last longer.
Update Your Windows to Help Prevent Break-ins
When you update to Energy Star Certified Laminated windows, you get a quality product that will both save on your energy costs due to its advanced technology and reduce the chance of break-ins. If you make it more challenging for an intruder to enter your home, you will be able to lower the risk of being a victim of a break-in. The would-be thief will likely leave in search of an easier target instead of spending a lot of time trying to break a new window made from this type of glass. Make sure to also advise your insurance company as your insurance costs may also be reduced.
New Windows Protect Your Home’s Interior
Your furniture, rugs and window treatments are home furnishings that would each cost a significant amount of money to replace. You will want to make sure that you get good value when you bring them into your home, and that means making sure they last for several years.
UV rays from the sun can also damage photographs on display in your home. Once they have been affected in this manner, they cannot be replaced. You can’t always guard your photos from being exposed to sunlight, nor should you avoid displaying them in your home and sharing them with family and friends.
New windows treated with special coatings can reduce fading by up to 95 percent. Energy Star qualified windows offer this benefit to homeowners, since their glass is treated with a Low-E coating.
The advantages of increased security due to shatter-resistant glass to deter would-be burglars and special coatings to protect your furnishings, window treatments and photographs are two more good reasons to invest in new windows this spring.
