8 Benefits of Window Wraps
Minnesota homeowners are no strangers to harsh temperatures. Whether there’s a polar vortex or an extended drought, it’s important that you’ve equipped your home to handle a variety of weather conditions.
In this case, window wraps are a great investment. From protecting your house’s exterior and increasing curb appeal to potentially helping you save money on energy and heating bills, window wraps have a lot to offer.
Fortunately, Budget Exteriors has decades of experience installing windows, siding, doors, and wraps – everything you could possibly need from your local exterior contractor!
What Are Window Wraps?
A question you may be asking is, “What exactly is a window wrap?” A window wrap is a material (usually vinyl-coated aluminum) installed around a home’s window. Wraps can be installed separately or in addition to a new window installation project.
Usually, this is rolled onto the window frame’s surface and provides your home with major benefits:
Enhanced Home Protection
Think of window wraps like extra armor around one of your home’s weakest points: windows. This added layer of material helps deter air and water leaks.
An investment in window wraps goes a long way in the longevity and maintenance of your house’s exterior (and can save you some massive repair bills along the way!).
Window wraps are designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions. Aside from rain and water, they protect your windows from snow and UV rays, extending the lifespan of your window frames. This resistance ensures that your windows remain functional and visually appealing for years to come.
Energy Conservation
Window wraps are also useful in maintaining the temperature in your home. They protect your house from outside elements and help maintain your interior temperatures.
This means warm air is less likely to escape during the winter, and your interior remains nice and cool in the summer, which leads to spending less money on heating and energy bills.
Increased Home Curb Appeal
Investing in window wraps gives your home a bit of an exterior makeover, which will increase your curb appeal and, potentially, your property value.
Our vast selection of window wraps at Budget Exteriors means you’ll have plenty of options from which to choose. Give your home a pop of color and reap the benefits of window wraps.
Low Maintenance
Unlike wooden window frames that require regular painting or staining, window wraps are virtually maintenance-free. They don't rot, warp, or peel. All you need to do is occasionally clean them with mild soap and water to keep them looking fresh.
Customization Options
Modern window wraps offer homeowners a range of customization options. You can select different colors, finishes, and textures to match or complement your home's exterior or create a unique look. This customization allows you to express your personal style and make your home stand out while protecting it from weather and more!
Protection Against Insects
Window wraps can also serve as a barrier against insects and pests. When properly installed, they seal gaps and cracks around your windows, preventing unwanted visitors from entering your home. This added protection can contribute to a more comfortable and pest-free living environment.
Noise Reduction
Window wraps can act as an effective barrier against outdoor noise pollution. The tight seal created by window wraps helps reduce the amount of noise that enters your home, creating a quieter and more peaceful indoor environment. This benefit is particularly valuable if you live in a noisy neighborhood or near busy streets.
Increased Property Value
Investing in window wraps can also have a positive impact on your home's overall value. Enhanced curb appeal, energy efficiency, and protection against the elements are attractive features for potential buyers. If you ever decide to sell your home, having window wraps in place can make it more appealing and potentially lead to a higher resale value, providing a good return on your investment.
