Replacing old, leaky, inefficient windows in Bloomfield, CT
Challenge
This homeowner's basement window was old, leaky, and inefficient, making the home uncomfortable.
In the winter, homeowners can feel the results of the choices former builders made when building their homes. Some builders do not pay attention to the energy efficiency of basement windows when they are building homes. Often times the homeowner is left with single pane glass windows with metal frames that let lots of cold air leak into the home. Single pane clear glass lets heat from your home escape by conduction through the cold glass. Metal is highly thermally conductive and a poor material for a window frame. And metal rusts in the damp environment near the ground. Perhaps the worst part is that these basement windows leak air - lots of it, because the house has lower air pressure at the bottom and sucks cold outside air into your home, causing a cold basement and cold floors above. And let's face it, these windows are ugly.
Solution
Fogarty's Home Services helped this home with a high efficiency window replacement, making this home much warmer and more comfortable year-round!
Here at Fogarty's Home Services, we can replace your basement windows with Everlast™ High Efficiency Vinyl Window Inserts. Your window sashes are removed and Everlast™ basement window inserts are installed and sealed airtight. They feature 2 panes of high performance "Low E" glass, which lets visible light through, but blocks most of the heat flow with a special metallic coating on the inside of both panes of glass. The sash features a vinyl frame - the perfect material for a window in the damp environment near the ground. The vinyl looks great and will never rust, rot, or need paint. And your new efficient windows will look great!
