never diminish. When you consider the

frames used to be made from wood. Although these
were suitable for a short term basis, they do begin
to rot and warp over time and continued exposure to
the elements. The sealant, known as caulking, around
the windows begins to flake away, making gaps where
air and moisture can get in and accelerating the
rate at which the original frames deteriorate. In
addition to this affecting the insulation of your
home, and increasing your energy costs, it is also
not pleasing to they eye. This is a particular
problem if you are thinking of selling your home as

buyer.
