4 Reasons You Should Replace Your Windows This Summer

If you’re considering replacing your windows, among the many things you may be wondering is what’s the best time of year to make this investment?

It seems obvious that window replacement should be done during the warmer months. Homes are open to the outside air and a bulk of the work will be performed outside. However, there are other reasons that make summer the best time to install replacement windows. Read on to find out more.

1. Easy Installation

Ideally, caulking should be applied when the temperature ranges from 40 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If this is not the case, silicone may be used to apply it, but you will need to warm the caulk before applying so it will flow smoothly and evenly. If you are hiring a contractor, all this can add to time and labor costs.

2. Movement of Substrate

Certain materials that are used in window replacement, like vinyl and aluminum, expand in warmer weather and contract in the cold. If the caulk is applied to windows when the weather is cold, it could crack and split when the materials expand as temperatures increase.

3. Uninterrupted Work

Replacing windows in the cold winter months isn’t fun. Home renovation contractors would prefer to work when the weather is fine and the temperature is warm. Summer has more fine weather which means that your window replacement project will finish quicker.  

4. Preparation for The Colder Seasons

Summer is also the best time for window replacement as it welcomes the natural rays of the sun inside and prepares your home for the coming cold season. Aside from helping you save on your electricity bills in both warm and cold seasons, casement windows replacement during summertime also means that you won’t have to worry about waking up with cold feet during winter.
