Reasons to Replace Commercial Windows

As a property owner, it can be difficult to know what you should prioritize. One way to increase the value in your property is to replace your windows. Doing so may help increase your property’s energy efficiency, reduce outside noises, create more modern aesthetics and help increase your profits. Read on to learn about commercial replacement windows.

One of the biggest reasons a property owner replaces their windows in commercial buildings is to increase a building’s energy efficiency. Replacing your building’s windows with new wood, fiberglass or vinyl windows can help lower your energy costs and deliver comfort to your tenants all year long.

More efficient replacement windows also help your building reduce its dependency on utilities. With more efficient and sustainable windows, more money goes to your bottom line.

If your building is in a bustling city, by a noisy roadway or busy train track, noise reducing windows can make it more appealing to tenants. Consider choosing noise reduction windows for your property. There are several factors that impact noise reduction, here are some things to consider.

• The more the mass of the material, the more sound damping it provides.
• Increasing the thickness of materials, such as going from 2.5mm glass to 5.0mm glass improves the STC rating.
• Mixed glass thicknesses in the design help dampen sounds at different frequencies and can help improve the STC rating.
• Where air goes, sound goes. In older windows, a faulty perimeter seal between operating sash and frame can easily negate the ideal glass selection for your design.

By addressing these considerations, you can create a quieter, more comfortable space.

Replacement windows have the transformative power to change your building’s entire façade. For example, old aluminum windows that are replaced with sleek windows in a modern black finish can attract tenants and make your building look newer. For retail locations, updated storefront windows freshen your façade and can lead to an increase in traffic flow. New windows are available in a number of on-trend exterior finishes and beautiful interior colors. In addition, expansive sizes, grilles and hardware can be used to further your desired aesthetic.

Investing in replacement windows for your commercial property is a great advertising and promotional opportunity to get current and potential tenants excited about your space. New, high-quality windows may allow you to justify higher rental price points. Potential tenants might be intrigued by your investment in more energy efficient windows, as this will help them feel more comfortable and relaxed. They can also improve the working environment for your tenants, creating a quieter, more welcoming space. In addition to helping your tenants feel more comfortable, you can rebrand your property by highlighting a new updated property.

For multi-building complexes, the window replacement project can take place in phases over a period of time. By taking a phased approach to remodeling, you can balance your cash flow better, while providing your tenants with a better living and working experience. And when you choose a partner that offers design, product and installation capabilities, you can save time and effort by working with fewer parties.
