How To Get A Home Ready For Winter?
With the cost of living continuing to increase and with energy bills climbing, it can be tempting to turn off your heating this winter. However, the chilly cold can cause everything from simple discomfort to genuine danger. Learning how to get a home ready for winter doesn’t need to be complicated. At B&M Windows and Doors, we’ve listed a simple way of enhancing properties that can get your home ready for winter.
Get A Home Ready For Winter With Double Glazing
One of the best ways to get ready for winter is to increase the heating within your home. Winter brings short days, cold winds, and a very wet environment, and modern double glazing does wonders at keeping bad weather at bay whilst keeping the inside of your home cosy.
But what are the actual benefits of double glazing over old single glazing? Is it worth the upfront cost to upgrade your home? Well, yes! Double glazing comes with a collection of benefits, including the ability to help homes stay warm during the winter months.
Energy Efficiency
The main benefit of upgrading your home with double glazing is its increased energy efficiency compared to older singular glazing. By increasing the overall energy efficiency of your home, it will require less energy to keep your property warm overall. Not only does this make it easier for your home to remain at a comfortable temperature, but it also can help to lower your energy bills over time.
The effect of our double glazing can be felt more in older homes that have traditional windows that typically end up being single glazed. If your home uses single glazing and you’re struggling to get your home ready for winter or live in a colder area, then consider getting new windows or doors installed with us today.
Enhanced Security
Another benefit of double glazing that can help your home get ready for winter is its increased security and safety. Contemporary modern double glazed windows are harder to shatter due to the thicker double panes, and they have multi-point locking mechanisms that make them able to resist unwanted visitors.
A major issue that arises in winter is harsh weather conditions, such as hail, snow, and rain. Older windows are likely to begin leaking or building up with condensation as their seals slowly break away. Being prepared by getting new windows installed can reduce the amount of leaks, cold draughts, or condensation from creeping into your home.
Additionally, new double glazing can also increase the soundproofing of your home, helping to create a quieter, more private environment.
Consistent Style
Many homeowners enjoy the unique style that their home provides or live in listed or conservation areas. The nostalgia and love for these older designs can make some sheepish to upgrade to modern double glazing out of fear of removing that authentic look. Luckily, with B&M Windows and Doors, you can get a classic feel while benefiting from modern performance.
Many of our windows, doors, conservatories, and orangeries come in a wide variety of colours and hardware options so that you can choose the perfect design to fit your aesthetic. Plus, our woodgrain foil effects can accurately mimic the outward appearance of timber while letting you take advantage of the durable and low maintenance nature of uPVC.
Our double glazed windows and doors can last for decades with only the occasional cleaning required to keep them fresh. Unlike timber windows, which can warp, crack, or splinter over time, our uPVC alternatives can maintain their shape without any sanding, varnishing, or frame replacements. Investing in new windows can be a smart move that lasts for many years while helping to reduce reliance on electricity or gas for additional heat.
