If your home has drafty old windows, it may be time to consider replacing them with new, more energy-efficient models. While new windows may not be the cheapest home improvement, they can be one of the most important renovations a homeowner can make. At Gateway Exteriors in Wentzville, MO, their home improvement professionals want to help you make the most of your home’s renovations.

Their team wants you to understand how replacing old windows will improve the comfort of your home. Here are a few things you should know about window replacement:

• Improve Sound Insulation: While you may know that an energy-efficient window will keep your home comfortable during varying weather conditions, but did you know that it also reduces sound pollution? If you live near a busy road or have neighbors that love to entertain, any added buffer against outside noise can be wonderful. Replacing old single-pane windows with double-pane options will dramatically reduce the amount of noise that seeps into your home.
• Extend the Life of Your Furniture: In well-lit rooms, sunlight can wreak havoc on furniture, drying out wood and fading upholstery. Installing a double-pane replacement window system can reduce the amount of damaging UV rays that enter your home. This can significantly extend the life of your furniture, area rugs, and artwork.
• Lower Energy Costs: The draftier your home is, the harder your HVAC system needs to work to keep your space at an ideal temperature. Replacing a drafty window with a well-sealed and energy-efficient design may save you money on your heating and cooling bills. While window treatments and heavy curtains will boost the efficiency of a new window, the improvements in glass quality and manufacturing technology will often be enough to make a noticeable difference in your energy bills.
