Window screens are such a simple thing that are often taken for granted, but the role they play is vital in creating a comfortable and clean living environment. Their primary function is keeping unwanted pests out of your home, and they provide a range of benefits that improve your home’s livability and even value. A professional exterior company can provide your home with all the window services and equipment it needs to keep up with repairs. Home services such as window screen installations or repairs, as well as a solar panel or window cleaning, will ensure that your home is beautifully lit with natural light.
Improved Air Quality and Ventilation
While window screens provide an essential barrier for your home, in beautiful conditions, the right window screens will allow you to enjoy open-air living. Stunning weather conditions offer the opportunity to enjoy breezes and fresh air within your home.
Opening your windows and breathing in fresh air is all about your health. Improving your indoor air quality starts by opening your windows and taking a breath of fresh air.
Natural Cooling and Energy Efficiency
In mild weather, opening your windows not only improves your air quality but it can help your home’s energy efficiency. If the temperature outside is cool, you can effectively cool your home without consuming electricity. Not to mention, opening your windows can help reduce indoor humidity if it’s drier outside. With high-quality window screens, you can keep your windows open during beautiful weather, not only will your air quality improve but so will your electric bill.
Enhanced Home Security
Not designed to be a home security system, window screens provide an extra layer of security in your home. Most crimes are born of opportunity, and with windows being a common entry point for burglaries. If you have a properly installed window screen that won’t budge, you are minimizing that window of opportunity and can deter a burglar. With windows that are open, and a high-quality screen, you can prevent small objects, such as golf balls, from entering through open windows. There are also security screens made from steel mesh that are clamped into frames if you are looking for a screen that prioritizes secure entryways.
Protection Against Weather Elements
Without window screens, when you open up the blinds to let in the sunshine, you are also letting in harmful UV rays. Proper window screens can help protect your belongings and home from sun damage. By blocking some of the harshest rays, they also minimize the heat coming into your home.
The Importance of Replacing Damaged Screens
If your window screens have any damage, such as rips, tears, or holes, they should be repaired immediately. Any window screens that have damage reduce the effectiveness of them and the security that they bring. By potentially allowing pests into your home, you are less likely to open a window where the screen is damaged, and fresh air is not getting into your home. An ill-fitting window screen does little to provide your home with benefits or protection. If the frame is bent or your screen is loose, you should have it replaced or repaired by a professional. Providing your home with the most quality care so you can have fresh air.
