Why old windows and doors should be replaced

A lot of heating heat can be lost due to old, poorly insulated windows and doors, which increases their monthly heating costs and environmental pollution. The DAIBAU.AT construction platform has asked experts when an exchange makes sense to reduce heat losses and increase energy efficiency.

Condensation – a warning signal

Fogged window panes arise in winter when warm, moist air hits cold glass surfaces. Frequent condensation indicates inadequate insulation and can lead to moisture damage. Cold glass surfaces are often a sign of faulty or outdated windows.

Lurds in rain

If windows or doors are leaking in the rain, you should act quickly to avoid damage. Plastic window are particularly in demand due to their good price-performance ratio. Models with multi-chamber systems offer improved heat and sound insulation. Professional assembly is important.

Mold

Black spots on window and door frames indicate cold bridges. Mold not only harms the look, but also health. If moisture penetrates and a repair is not possible, windows or doors should be replaced.

Drafts despite closed windows

If it feels drafty despite closed windows, heating and living comfort are lost. A post -seal can help at short notice, but in the long term, however, an exchange is often necessary. This also affects front doors that have to offer good thermal insulation in addition to security. Choose for the Delivery and assembly of your front door a certified specialist company that grants a product guarantee and a performance guarantee.

Windows are difficult to open and close

Over time, windows and doors can become stiff. Small repairs can help, but this is often a sign of the end of the service life.

Bad soundproofing

Noise from outside or from adjacent rooms indicates a declining soundproofing function. Modern windows and doors significantly improve sound insulation. If you have heard the noise from the neighboring room particularly clearly recently, a Exchange of the interior doors be required.

The exchange of windows and doors increases security, energy efficiency and living comfort. There are also funding opportunities. At daibau.at you will find tested specialist companies with transparent ratings and price information.
