🧼 How Weather Affects Your Windows; What You Can Do About It; Window Care

Your windows are your home’s silent protectors—letting in light, keeping out wind, and giving you a glimpse of the world outside. But as the seasons shift, weather can take a real toll on your windows, often in ways that go unnoticed until it’s too late.

Whether it’s scorching heat, heavy rain, icy winds, or foggy mornings, understanding how weather affects your windows is key to protecting your home and staying ahead of costly repairs.

Let’s break it down by season—and show you how to stay on top of window care like a pro.

☀️ Summer: Heat & UV Damage

Hot weather can cause your window seals to expand and contract, eventually breaking down the airtight seal that keeps your home energy efficient. You might notice:

• Foggy or streaky windows from failed seals

• Warped frames—especially on older wooden windows

• Peeling tint or fading furniture from UV exposure

What to Do:☑ Install or replace UV-protective film☑ Check seals and caulking annually☑ Schedule a professional inspection if you notice condensation between panes.

🌧️ Fall: Moisture & Debris

As leaves fall and rain picks up, your windows and sills collect moisture, dirt, and organic debris. This can cause:

• Mold or mildew growth on sills and tracks

• Gutter overflow that splashes against windows

• Water stains and potential wood rot

What to Do:☑ Keep gutters clear and clean☑ Wipe down tracks and sills regularly☑ Repair damaged screens to prevent buildup.

Fall weather always brings lots of change to the air and climate. Let our professionals help you prepare.

❄️ Winter: Cold, Condensation & Cracks

Cold air makes glass contract, and if your windows are older or poorly sealed, this can cause:

• Drafts and heat loss

• Condensation on the inside or between panes

• Cracks or broken seals from freezing temperatures

What to Do:☑ Use weather stripping or thermal curtains☑ Replace broken seals or panes before cold snaps☑ Consider double- or triple-pane windows for better insulation.

🌸 Spring: Pollen, Dust & Window Cleaning Time

Spring brings sunshine—and the motivation to clean! But it also brings pollen, dust, and grime that cloud your view and trigger allergies.

What to Do:☑ Clean both interior and exterior windows☑ Rinse screens and tracks☑ Hire a professional cleaner for a deep seasonal reset.
