Transform Your Home With New Doors & Windows

You can have the nicest home interior in the world, but if the outside of your house looks unattractive because of the poor state of your old windows or an ageing front door, all your hard work inside will be go to waste.
When transforming your property you should devote an equal amount of time to the interior and exterior, and it may involve the installation of new windows and doors.

Some will baulk at the idea of investing a significant sum of money on replacement windows and doors, however, you need to think of the long-term benefits.

1. Improved aesthetics

Because they’re such a focal point of any house, any new door or window design/colour should have some semblance to the overall character of the building. You wouldn’t for instance choose bright blue windows for a period cottage as they wouldn’t be in keeping with its style.

Carefully analyse the many available window types and finishes before signing on the dotted line, and when you choose wisely, the windows/door will revive its appearance in a way you never thought possible.

2. Improved security

Windows and doors are the prime targets for thieves attempting to break into your home. Too many homeowners neglect to ensure that their existing windows and doors are sufficiently secure, and subsequently lose prized belongings unnecessarily.

The majority of modern-day windows and doors come affixed with sophisticated locking mechanisms, internally glazed glass, and durable frames, vastly reducing the chances of a thrifty thief gaining unauthorised access.

When exiting your home, make it part of your routine to check that all window and door locks are properly fastened.

3. Improved energy efficiency

The average home loses 10% of heat through its windows and doors. This typically results in householders overspending on energy bills, something seldom any of us can afford to do as UK wholesale gas prices continue to rise.

Thermal insulation will radically improve upon the integration of double or triple glazed UPVC, aluminium, Heritage or timber windows, or UPVC or composite door, as they’re better at retaining warmth and keeping out external air.

When you do your calculations and figure out how much they will save you during their intended lifespan, you will realise that they pay for themselves.
