Have you ever thought about how beneficial windows are? Or how important of a role they play in keeping you and your home safe? It’s good to know that functional windows can save a life during an emergency. Every homeowner thinks their windows are fully functional and that there’s nothing wrong with them…until they need them to be functional and they find out the hard way that they aren’t.

That window you never check or bother to open can actually be the one thing that stands between you and the safety of your family. We all think that nothing bad can happen to our homes or families, but as much as we all wish that to be true, it’s not always the case. And in the case of a fire that spreads through your home without warning, with only minutes or seconds to evacuate your home, the window that you haven’t checked or used in years may be your only shot at getting out unharmed. And that one shot may not work if your window doesn’t operate well.

Checking your windows periodically to make sure they work is a small price to pay. Look at the windows to see if there’s any cracks, breakage or severe damage. Not only will you save yourself money in the long-run by fixing your windows early on, but you can also avoid injury to family members. Emergencies and fires aren’t the only things that can cause injuries. If a window in your home is broken and left unattended, it can severely injure someone if it falls and the glass breaks. This is especially true for children and pets in a home. Not realizing it, children can play near or with windows just as pets can jump on window sills and near windows. If your windows are unsafe and in need of repair, those around the window can become unnecessarily hurt.

So, the next time you spend money on something that might not be a necessity, or spend time working on a side project when your home needs TLC, think about your windows and how they play a vital role in the safety of your family.
