Renovation aimed at reducing the building’s energy consumption<\/h4>
Currently, much more efficient window profiles and insulating glass are available than 20-30 years ago. Triple glazing and 6-7 chamber profiles are standard, which together significantly reduce the heat transfer coefficient through the window (less heat escapes through the window). <\/p>
If building owners decide to insulate the facade or roof\/basement, it often makes sense to replace windows with more efficient ones. <\/p>
Financial Support for Home Renovation from the European Union<\/strong><\/h5>
It was possible to apply for a contribution from the recovery plan for the renovation of family homes with the aim of reducing energy consumption. All calls are currently closed \u2013 however, we recommend monitoring the website www.obnovdom.sk. Aid for households at risk of energy poverty is announced for 2026. <\/p>
Windows are not functioning correctly and cannot be serviced<\/h4>
A reduced functionality can be an objective reason for replacement. This is especially true if there are problems operating the windows, or if they seal poorly and simple service interventions or gasket replacements do not help.
Windows have an unsatisfactory appearance<\/h4>
Over time, PVC windows can irreversibly change their appearance, especially if they are in highly exposed areas: a lot of direct sunlight, a lot of smog from the street, a lot of cigarette smoke. In these cases, the white color of the PVC may turn yellow, and this problem cannot be removed without mechanical damage. With laminated PVC windows, the laminating film may degrade over the years (color change, peeling, cracks). <\/p>

Living comfort (cold near the window) is unsatisfactory<\/h4>
It is a reality that the first generations of PVC windows with double glazing and fewer chamber profiles could not provide the current thermal comfort in their vicinity.<\/strong> Therefore, even with a closed window, cold may be felt. This can result in the cooling of the immediate area around the window (reveals, sills). Moisture from the interior may condense on cold surfaces, which can create suitable conditions for mold growth. <\/p>
High street noise<\/h4>
More modern windows also provide better sound insulation. If you are dealing with a noisy street, replacing old plastic windows may be a suitable solution for you. <\/p>
