Amid the stress and seemingly endless details of moving into a new house, it's easy to forgot about the windows. But the condition of your windows can tell you a lot about your home, and checking your windows sooner rather than later can save you considerable headache down the road. The window contractors of Superior Products Exteriors, provide new and replacement windows to the Cincinnati, Ohio, area; below, they discuss three window-related conditions not to overlook when moving into a new home.

3 Window-Related Conditions Not To Overlook In Your New Home

1. Drafts

Drafts can indicate the sealing around your windows isn't working properly. This can lead to uncomfortable indoor temperatures and higher utility costs. Check around every window for drafts and address any problem areas right away.

2. Single-Pane Windows

Double-paned windows have several distinct advantages over their single-paned counterparts. Chief among them are their superior insulation and noise reduction capabilities. If your new home has single-pane windows, let the window contractors at Superior Products Exteriors help you explore the more beneficial options offered by double-paned windows.

3. Windows Painted Shut

It's an all-too-common sight. In an older home, little-used or nonfunctioning windows were painted over, or, over time, painted wood frames have contracted so much that the windows are now nonfunctional. This can cause ventilation problems and is a serious safety concern that should not be ignored.
