It’s finally happened: autumn has arrived. The nights are drawing in, the air is getting colder and the coats and scarves are out of the wardrobe – soon enough, winter will be here!
Now is the ideal time to get your home ready for the cold winter months that lie ahead, and that includes making sure you have high-quality, reliable double-glazed windows in place to keep your home warm and comfortable. If you’d like to upgrade your double glazing this autumn, here’s everything you need to know. Soon enough, your property will be snug and toasty!
Get warm before things get cold
There’s nothing worse than sitting in a cold, draughty house in the middle of winter, wishing you’d got your windows fixed before the freezing weather kicked in. By getting your double glazing sorted in autumn, you can simply relax and enjoy the wonders of winter when it arrives – cosying up indoors after a long walk in the crisp air, and having friends and family round who will admire your stunning new windows.
The type of glazing you need depends on the existing windows in your property. If you have single glazing, then upgrading to double glazing is ideal. If you live in a period home, then you could consider Residence 9 or, if you are not able to install double glazing, perhaps opt for secondary glazing. You could consider triple glazing, but this is only really beneficial for homes that are already energy-efficient.
Brighten up your home with big windows
On dull winter days, it is lovely to come home to a cosy living space that lets natural light flow in, rather than a dark house with small, draughty windows. As part of your autumn renovations, you could consider getting larger windows (perhaps floor-to-ceiling windows) installed to make your home seem brighter and more airy – ideal for lifting your mood during the long winter months. These will be just as energy-efficient and high-performance as other double glazing options, and you can rest assured that they will meet the Building Regulation energy rating of C, if not A. So, there you have it: just some of the reasons you should get your home prepared for winter with reliable, high-quality double glazing!
