But when they start causing problems, it&#8217;s usually easier \u2014 and cheaper \u2014 to replace them than to keep patching things up.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"hero-meta\">\n      <span>\u270d\ufe0f All Things Aluminium and Glass<\/span>\n      <span>\ud83d\udd50 3 min read<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/header>\n\n<!-- BODY -->\n<main class=\"container\">\n\n  <p class=\"intro\">\n    Most of us don&#8217;t think about our windows until something goes wrong \u2014 and by then, the problem has usually been brewing for a while. Here are five signs your windows are overdue for a replacement.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <!-- SIGNS -->\n  <div class=\"signs\">\n\n    <div class=\"sign-card\">\n      <div class=\"sign-num\">1<\/div>\n      <div class=\"sign-body\">\n        <span class=\"sign-emoji\">\u2614<\/span>\n        <p class=\"sign-title\">Water is getting inside when it rains<\/p>\n        <p class=\"sign-text\">If you&#8217;re reaching for a towel every time it rains, your windows are failing at their most basic job. Leaks around window frames mean the seals have broken down or the frames themselves have warped \u2014 and no amount of wiping will fix that long-term. Water damage to your walls and floors will only get more expensive the longer you wait.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"sign-card\">\n      <div class=\"sign-num\">2<\/div>\n      <div class=\"sign-body\">\n        <span class=\"sign-emoji\">\ud83d\udca8<\/span>\n        <p class=\"sign-title\">You can feel a draft even when they&#8217;re closed<\/p>\n        <p class=\"sign-text\">Stand near your window on a breezy day. If you feel air coming through, your windows are no longer sealing properly. Drafts let in dust, insects, and noise \u2014 and they make your fan or AC work overtime. New aluminium windows seal tightly and keep your home comfortable all year round.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"sign-card\">\n      <div class=\"sign-num\">3<\/div>\n      <div class=\"sign-body\">\n        <span class=\"sign-emoji\">\ud83d\udd29<\/span>\n        <p class=\"sign-title\">They&#8217;re difficult to open, close, or lock<\/p>\n        <p class=\"sign-text\">Windows that stick, jam, or won&#8217;t lock properly are more than just annoying \u2014 they&#8217;re a security risk. Wooden frames warp over time with humidity, and old metal frames corrode and seize up. If you&#8217;re forcing your windows open every morning, that&#8217;s a clear sign they&#8217;ve lived their life.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"sign-card\">\n      <div class=\"sign-num\">4<\/div>\n      <div class=\"sign-body\">\n        <span class=\"sign-emoji\">\ud83e\udd80<\/span>\n        <p class=\"sign-title\">You can see rust, rot, or visible damage<\/p>\n        <p class=\"sign-text\">Rust on metal frames and rot on wooden frames are not cosmetic issues \u2014 they&#8217;re structural ones. Once corrosion sets in, it spreads. Painting over it only delays the inevitable. Aluminium frames don&#8217;t rust, don&#8217;t rot, and don&#8217;t need repainting. Once they&#8217;re in, they&#8217;re in for the long haul.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"sign-card\">\n      <div class=\"sign-num\">5<\/div>\n      <div class=\"sign-body\">\n        <span class=\"sign-emoji\">\ud83d\udce2<\/span>\n        <p class=\"sign-title\">Outside noise is taking over your home<\/p>\n        <p class=\"sign-text\">If you can hear every car, conversation, and cockerel clearly from inside your home, your windows are not doing enough. Old or poorly fitted windows let in far more noise than they should. Modern aluminium windows with quality glass significantly reduce the noise that gets through \u2014 making your home a proper sanctuary.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n  <!-- CLOSING -->\n  <div class=\"closing\">\n    <p>The good news? Replacing your windows doesn&#8217;t have to be complicated or expensive. <strong>New aluminium windows are durable, low-maintenance, and built to handle the Kenyan climate<\/strong> \u2014 whether it&#8217;s coastal humidity, heavy rains, or blazing sun.
