Are your heating and cooling bills climbing? Does your home feels draughty? Is there regular condensation between your window panes? Are your windows hard to open and close; perhaps they’re even painted shut? Do you notice wear and water stains on or around your windows? Is cleaning your windows a pain and are replacement parts hard to find?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above, it may be time to replace your windows – but not without some research first. The choices you make can greatly affect your home’s aesthetic appeal, comfort and year-round energy-efficiency.
