Choosing to upgrade your home with impact windows is a wise investment for both the safety and energy efficiency of your property. As the installation day approaches, you may be wondering what the process entails and how to prepare for it. In today’s post, Prestige Windows & Doors lists the entire process once installation day arrives.
Pre-Installation Preparations
Before the arrival of the installation team, there are a few steps homeowners can take to facilitate a smooth process. Firstly, ensure that there is clear access to the windows from both the inside and outside of your home. This might involve moving furniture, taking down curtains or blinds and trimming any landscaping that could obstruct the installation area. It’s also wise to protect your flooring and any nearby furniture with drop cloths or plastic sheeting, as the process can generate dust and debris.
Arrival and Inspection
On the day of installation, the team from Prestige Windows & Doors will arrive at your home ready to begin the project. The first step will typically involve a final inspection of the windows and the areas where they will be installed. This is a good time to ask any last-minute questions you may have about the process. The team will also go over the project plan with you, ensuring that everyone’s expectations are aligned.
The Installation Process
The installation of impact windows is a process that requires precision, attention to detail and care. The existing windows must first be carefully removed to avoid damage to the surrounding walls and structure. Once removed, the opening will be prepared for the new window, which might include minor adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
The new impact windows will then be installed. This process involves securing the window in place, ensuring it is perfectly level and properly sealed against the elements. The installation team will use high-quality materials for sealing and insulation, guaranteeing that the windows not only protect your home but also enhance its energy efficiency.
Final Checks and Cleanup
After the windows are installed, the installation team will perform thorough checks to ensure that everything is functioning as it should be. This includes checking the seal and insulation, ensuring the windows open and close correctly, and verifying the integrity of the installation. Any adjustments needed will be made during this stage.
Cleanup is an integral part of the installation process. The team from Prestige Windows & Doors will ensure that all debris, dust, and materials are removed from your property, leaving your home as clean as it was before the project began. They will also provide you with care and maintenance tips to ensure your new impact windows remain in top condition for years to come.
What to Do After Installation
Once the installation is complete and your property is cleaned up, take the time to inspect the work with the team leader. This is your opportunity to address any concerns and to familiarize yourself with the operation and maintenance of your new impact windows. It’s also a perfect moment to discuss warranty information and any follow-up services that may be needed.
