The quaint college town of Amherst, Massachusetts offers an abundance of beautiful traditional-style architecture. We worked with homeowners who were experiencing severe condensation between the panes of glass in their windows. Our experts recommended replacing the old windows with new Pella Lifestyle Series casement windows. We knew these windows would offer major performance upgrades, customization opportunities and lasting durability.
Wood Windows Provide Energy Efficiency and Durability
In the existing windows, condensation was getting trapped between the panes of glass. This hazy moisture made it difficult to see through the windows. Window condensation can happen for a variety of reasons. In this instance, the seals were failing and allowing moisture to seep in between the glass. These homeowners needed to find new windows that were not only energy efficient but also durable enough to withstand the wide variety of weather that Amherst experiences throughout the year. The exterior aluminum cladding of the new windows resists rot and corrosion to keep the windows functioning at their best. With a more durable seal, the replacement windows don’t allow moisture in.
Replacement Windows Match Interior and Exterior Colors
During our consultation, the homeowners stressed the importance of maintaining the look of their home. We were able to match the interior and exterior colors of the previous windows. Brown windows are often associated with traditional aesthetics and bring warmth and style to a space. With wood stain on the interior and a rich brown tone for the exterior aluminum cladding, the windows pop against the lighter colors of the home.
Western Massachusetts Team Coordinates Expert Installation
Over three days, our experts were able to replace all the windows throughout the home. The replacements had to be modified into the existing frames which required expertise and careful attention to detail. Due to the elevation of the second floor, we had to use ladders to safely install the new windows. We worked with the homeowners every step of the way to find the right products for their house and ensure a smooth installation.
The homeowners are thrilled with the result and appreciate our insights on fixing the condensation issue. Their new windows provide energy efficiency, durability and beauty, ensuring a clear line of sight without condensation between the panes.
