Sash windows, tilt windows, guillotine windows – windows come in an array of types and styles, but they do have one thing in common – that is, they are integral features of any residential or commercial property.
Windows contribute to a property’s overall design and curb appeal. But aside from aesthetics, windows also have a role to play in a property’s safety, comfort and even energy-efficiency. For these reasons, it is very important that property owners take good care of their sash, guillotine, or tilt windows (or whatever type of window for that matter) by keeping it clean, free of any damage and fully functional all days of the year.
Windows Aren’t Forever
However, despite proper care and regular maintenance, windows do not last forever. Just like other property installations like doors, operable skylights and others, windows suffer damages and go through normal wear and tear. In many cases, these can be repaired by professional contractors, but if the damage is too extensive or too severe, a complete replacement would be something worth thinking about, and under such circumstances, a custom-made window is one option to consider.
