The Difference A Window Makes
Recently my husband and I moved into one of the basement apartments of a four-plex. The apartment complex was completed sometime in the 1970s and it had the windows to prove it. The frames were made of old bent and damaged aluminum. One of the single panes of glass in the kitchen must have been broken because it had been replaced with a sheet of plastic. There were visible holes between the window frame and the wall, which allowed bugs and spiders easy access to our apartment, not to mention the heat and the cold. The windows were awful. My husband decided enough was enough and convinced our landlord to replace all the windows in the complex. This summer all the old frames were torn out and replaced with vinyl window frames with double-paned windows. Since then we’ve noticed a huge difference in the energy efficiency of our apartment, not to mention the noise reduction. We never realized how noisy it was outside until the new windows were installed. Now it is quiet and during the summer we rarely had to turn on the air conditioner.
