If you’ve lived in Texas for more than a season, you already know that no matter the season, our weather doesn’t play nice. From summer heat that makes asphalt shimmer to spring storms that toss hail like it’s going out of style, your windows take a beating year after year.
The truth? Even the best windows can’t last forever in our climate. And when they start to wear down, they don’t just look bad; they make your home less comfortable, less efficient, and more vulnerable.
At Supreme Windows, we’ve seen what Texas weather can do that leads to premature window replacement. Let’s talk about how each season chips away at your windows, and how replacing them can protect your home for years to come.
Summer: The Heat Stays On
Texas summers aren’t just hot, they’re relentless. Weeks on end of triple-digit temperatures, UV rays baking the glass, and the kind of heat that seeps into every corner of your home.
What does the heat do to your windows? It expands frames, causing them to warp and stick. The blistering sun breaks down seals, so your cooled air slips out. Finally, the heat blaring into your home fades fabrics, flooring, and furniture through unchecked UV exposure.
Replacement windows with double or triple panes, Low-E coatings, and argon gas fills keep the heat outside where it belongs. They also block damaging UV rays, protecting both your comfort and your décor.
Spring: Storm Season Stress
Spring may bring bluebonnets, but it also brings severe storms. In Texas, that means high winds, driving rain, and hail that can dent a car hood in seconds.
Random spring storms can bring the following damage to your windows that you don’t want to worry about:
- Cracked or chipped glass from hail impact
- Weakened frames with repeated moisture exposure
- Forced rain through tiny gaps when wind pressure is high
Modern replacement windows are built with stronger glass, reinforced frames, and precise installation that prevents leaks. With the right features like laminated glass, you can add even more impact resistance.
Winter: Sudden Cold Snaps
Our winters may be mild compared to the north, but Texas cold fronts are sneaky. One day you’re in a light jacket; the next, you’re waking up to freezing rain.
Cold snaps can quickly cause contractions in frames, stressing joints and seals. They can also let cold air in through worn weatherstripping.
On top of these issues, the cold creates condensation on and between panes when seals fail.
Energy-efficient replacement windows keep your indoor temperature steady, even when the outside drops fast. Tight seals and insulated frames stop those icy drafts in their tracks.
Fall: The Sneaky Season
Fall feels calm with cooler temps and lower humidity. But it’s also when we see heavy rains and strong winds roll through.
What it does to your windows:
- Pushes water into cracks left by summer heat expansion
- Loosens hardware and locks with repeated wind pressure
- Starts corrosion on older metal parts
Fresh, professionally installed windows create a watertight seal and secure locking points, giving you protection before winter’s bigger swings hit.
Why Replacement Beats “Fixing It”
You can recaulk. You can re-weatherstrip. You can even replace a pane or two. But here’s the thing: once Texas weather has done its work, small repairs are only buying time. The underlying damage will keep coming back.
Replacement windows don’t just patch a problem; they start fresh. New materials, advanced technology, and professional installation give you a real reset, so you’re not chasing the same issues season after season.
The Texas-Proof Solution
The right replacement windows do more than survive Texas weather; they’re built to thrive in it.
- Low-E coated glass keeps heat out and efficiency in
- Double or triple-pane windows add insulation and reduce noise
- Durable window material frames resist warping, swelling, and cracking
- Impact-resistant options add peace of mind in hail and windstorms
