You shouldn’t put off replacing your windows because you will have to do it anyway. The question is how much will it cost afterwards? Overdue time always results in a loss. It has been proven a thousand times in practice. So putting it off just to save money or waiting for the market to get cheaper, which it won’t, is not a good idea.

If you put it off, then there is every chance of facing:

Paying inflated bills. If the seal is broken, for example, it will also be cold in the room during the cold season. This entails using the radiators more often.

Spending money to keep old windows in a satisfactory condition.

Spending money on treatments if your home is cold inside because of faulty old windows.

Mould and fungus on sashes, frame, window sill and soffits are one of the main markers that indicate the need for window replacement. Problems can also include air bridges and draughts. Colour change of plastic means that uncontrolled development of microflora has started, which will result in further material deterioration. Apart from aesthetic and exploitation disadvantages, it is also a threat to health. It is therefore not advisable, especially in the presence of children.

Such sign is a consequence of violation of integrity of elements of fittings or gasket (then you can replace only those elements), but if it is the result of window wear and tear and appearance of mould in addition to violation of tightness, then it is all the more time to change the window. If the defects are numerous, it does not make sense to repair the windows, but to replace them.
