Window and door builders are experts in new windows or doors

Windows and doors made of plastic or metal last longer than wooden windows and doors. The candle test is an easy way to find out how old your windows are: Hold a lit candle to the glass and look at the window. If you see 2 flames, the window is 15 to 30 years old and the glass would probably need to be replaced. If you see 1 flame, the glass is 30 to 50 years old and would need to be replaced. As long as you see 3 flames, the window is fairly new and everything is fine.

Replace or repair windows: the right frame

The choice of aluminum, wood or plastic depends on your budget, taste and house. The choice of material does not matter for burglary protection, energy consumption, room protection or sound insulation. Wooden windows (20 to 40 years) last less long, but they have the best environmental performance. Plastic windows and wood-aluminum or plastic-aluminum windows last 30 to 50 years and are easier to maintain, but they should be maintained more frequently than wooden windows, on average every 6 to 8 years.

Replace or repair windows: the right glass

In Switzerland, all new windows are triple-glazed as standard. If your windows are double-glazed, you should consider triple-glazed windows, which insulate 80 percent better. That's why new windows are a simple, effective and relatively inexpensive measure to improve the energy efficiency of your house or apartment. Minergie windows are even more energy efficient because the space between the panes is filled with inert gases and no heat can escape

Costs for window installers and new windows or doors

Aluminum-wood windows cost the most, wooden windows the least. Triple-glazed windows are more expensive than double-glazed ones, and double-leaf windows cost more than those with one leaf. Expect to pay 400 to 600 Swiss francs per square meter for a modern triple-glazed window. That's 100 Swiss francs more per square meter than for a double-glazed window, but it pays for itself quickly because of the increased energy efficiency. Window and door installers charge 100 to 120 Swiss francs per hour. You can learn more in the article "Cost of New Windows when Replacing or Renovating".
