10 Signs Your Windows Need Replacing
At Oakview Windows & Doors, we know that your windows do more than frame your view — they protect your home, improve energy efficiency, and elevate your property’s style. But even the highest-quality windows eventually need replacing. If your home is starting to feel draughty, your heating bills are rising, or your windows are simply looking tired, it may be time for an upgrade.
Here are 10 signs it’s time to replace your windows.
1. Noticeable Draughts
Feeling cold air seeping in, even when your windows are fully closed? Draughts are a sure sign that seals have broken down or frames are worn. Upgrading to our energy-efficient glazing helps keep warmth in and costs down.
2. Condensation Between Glass Panes
Misty or foggy panes usually mean the double-glazing seal has failed. This reduces insulation and affects visibility. Our high-performance glazing systems are designed for long-lasting clarity and thermal performance.
3. Difficult to Open or Close
Struggling to open or close your windows isn’t just inconvenient — it’s a safety risk. Our premium uPVC and aluminium windows ensure smooth, secure operation, every time.
4. Higher Energy Bills
Older windows often let heat escape, forcing your heating system to work harder. Replacing them with A-rated windows from Oakview can significantly improve efficiency and reduce monthly bills.
5. Increased Outside Noise
If road or neighbourhood noise feels louder than before, it’s likely your windows have lost their sound insulation. Our modern glazing systems are designed to keep your home peaceful and quiet.
6. Signs of Damage or Rot
Cracked frames, rotting timber, warped uPVC, or broken hardware are all urgent signs your windows need attention. New uPVC or aluminium frames offer lasting durability with minimal maintenance.
7. Cold Spots Around Windows
Do certain areas near your windows always feel cold? That means insulation has failed. Our thermally-broken frames and insulated glazing keep your home consistently comfortable.
8. Outdated Appearance
Modern windows offer much sleeker designs than older styles — enhancing kerb appeal and property value. Whether you’re modernising in aluminium or refreshing with uPVC, we offer stunning options to suit every style.
9. Persistent Indoor Condensation
Constant moisture inside your windows can lead to mould and damage. Upgrading to efficient glazing and secure ventilation options helps maintain a healthier indoor environment.
10. Planning a Home Renovation
A beautiful renovation deserves beautiful windows. New windows not only transform your home’s appearance — they enhance security, energy efficiency, and resale value.
