Opening your windows might seem simple enough, but it plays an important role not only in your home’s energy consumption but also in the health and well-being of everyone in the household. Trusted window replacement contractor STL Windows Direct explains the significance of this regular action.
You may have heard this before, but indoor air is more polluted than the air outside. When you keep your windows closed, you can expect the walls and other surfaces to accumulate dust. Not only that, but it traps pet dander, mold spores, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other airborne pollutants inside your home. To get rid of these, make sure to open your windows for at least 15 minutes every day.
Our energy-efficient Direct windows are available in different types, including double-hung, sliding, casement and awning windows, to name a few. They may vary in terms of operation, but they are nonetheless effective in providing much-needed ventilation for your home.
Keeping your windows closed means certain odors and smells are left to linger indoors for a long time. This is especially true when you cook food in the kitchen or clean the bathroom using a strong-smelling cleaner. Make it a habit to open the windows in these areas beforehand.
The warmer months are the perfect time to open your windows. For only a few minutes, they can make your indoors comfortable by letting in cool breezes without relying too much on your air conditioning system. Even within that period, you are already saving significantly on your cooling bills.
