Should I remove my window screens in the winter?

• <div><p>If your winter looks like heavy snow, freezing rain, or frigid temperatures, taking your screens out for the season can be a great way to avoid mesh damage or bent frames. Ice can build up and put pressure on the screen, especially in older or aluminum frames. Removing them also lets in more natural light during those shorter winter days and makes it easier to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/window-maintenance-tips.htm">keep your windows clean</a>. In warmer climates, it’s less about protection and more about preference. Some homeowners like the clearer view while others leave them in for convenience. Either way works—it depends on your setup and what you value more. </p></div>

Do I need a permit to add a bay window to my home?

• <div><p>If you are adding a new bay window to the front of your house, you usually need a building permit. However, adding a bay window to the side or back of your house typically doesn’t require any permits. Replacing an existing bay window also doesn’t require a permit. If you’re not sure, ask your pro to guide you through the process.</p></div>

Q: Are glass block windows a fire hazard?

• <div><p>Glass block windows aren&rsquo;t fire hazards; fire-rated glass block windows can increase your home&rsquo;s fire safety. Modern glass blocks are made with materials that can resist high temperatures and prevent fire spread. Most offer a 45-minute fire rating, while some increase it to two hours. Compared to the typical 20 to 90 minute rating for a double-pane window, glass block can increase your home&rsquo;s safety in the event of a fire.</p></div>

Q: Why won’t my crank window close?

• <div><p>There are a few reasons your crank windows might not close. First, determine if your window crank is working properly and opening and closing the window when you turn it. If it&rsquo;s not, the crank may need replacing, cleaning, or lubricating. Another reason your windows aren&rsquo;t closing could be dirt and debris in the window hinges or sash. Finally, make sure your window lock operator is set in the unlocked position and isn&rsquo;t blocking the window from fully closing. If you&rsquo;re still having trouble closing your window, it may be worth consulting a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/window-door-contractors/">local window contractor</a>.</p></div>

Q: Are picture windows still in style?

• <div><p>Picture windows are still in style, even though they are one of the oldest types of windows. Other windows, like single- or double-hung windows and casement windows, have increased in popularity because they can open up for fresh air. However, homeowners still love the way a picture window can frame their lush outdoor garden or other pleasant neighborhood views. </p></div>
