Century- Old House Window Replacement in Downtown Columbus

Insulated replacement Windows Improved Comfort & nuisance noise In this Franklinton Home

The Franklinton neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio is undergoing a transformation as the city grows to accommodate modern homeowners’ needs. Tyler C. had been making improvements inside his 119-year-old home, but with changes in the weather and construction on every corner of his neighborhood, he could tell it was time to make some exterior updates too – starting with the windows.

“The windows were just single-pane, and very old and drafty,” Tyler said, noting that he regularly used plastic window sheeting to help manage drafts and try to keep the home comfortable. Beyond that, “you could hear all the construction going on around the neighborhood,” he said. “It made working from home or just watching TV really difficult.”

Single Pane Window Replacement in favor of insulated replacement windows

To solve these problem, Tyler researched how to go about replacing single pane glass with double pane windows in his home. He met with an Improveit team member and was pleased to learn about all the features and benefits of the company’s Performax54 windows. With multiple layers of insulation, including dual-paned glass, Improveit’s exclusive window line promised to help eliminate the drafts around his window openings, and also dampen the neighborhood construction noise.

Tyler ended up choosing all white, gridless Performax54 double-hung insulated replacement windows throughout his home. Improveit installers applied lead-safe work practices since the 119-year-old home tested positive for lead paint. These practices include limiting exposure to both homeowners and installers by sealing off the work area with plastic sheeting and having installers wear lead-safe personal protective equipment during the project.

Replacing single pane glass with double pane: How do insulated replacement windows Work?

Tyler said the changes in his home were immediately evident after the new windows went in. “It’s already so much quieter in the living room,” he told us. “I can’t wait to see the effect the new windows have on our thermostat.”

The change should be considerable now that Tyler’s home has high-efficiency windows in place. Performax54 insulated replacement windows showcase four essential features that help keep outdoor air and noises outside (where they belong), and keep homes more comfortable inside:

• Thermostat Glass, with insulating argon gas between two panes of glass to help your HVAC system work more efficiently and reduce noise transfer.
  
• Solargold Spacers that insulate at the edges of the window glass and seal the windows against expensive energy loss.
• C-Core Insulated Sash with expanded insulation to prevent heat transfer, and a tight fit to block drafts 76% better than standard windows.
• T-Core Insulated Frames that hold the window components together and stay square and true in the wall while preventing heat transfer around the window frame.

With insulation in every component, plus Improveit’s air-tight insulation process, Performax54 windows maximize your home’s energy efficiency at every turn.
