Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know If I Need Replacement Windows?
You can tell if you need replacement windows by looking for the following signs:
- My windows don’t open or close properly – this could be due to a warped window,
- My windows are drafty – this typically occurs when the locking system is no longer working, or if your existing windows are single-glazed.
- You can hear lots of outside noise when your windows are shut.
- Your window is leaking – a sign that the seal around the glass is shot.
- Your windows are over 15 years old.
How Do I Know When My Door Needs Replacing?
Your doors will get a huge amount of daily use, more so than your windows. Therefore, when you see obvious signs of damage to the door, it’ll be time to replace your door. You may also notice that the locking mechanism is wearing out, it’s becoming harder to lock, or draughts are getting in from the outside. These are all also telltale signs that your door needs replacing.
When Is It Time To Upgrade An Older Conservatory?
While a standard conservatory should last over 25 years, persistent issues such as leaks, mould or storm damage will require you to upgrade your conservatory. Beyond structural integrity, modern conservatory upgrades allow for year-round usability, as replacing an inefficient roof with high-performance glazing can transform a space that is otherwise too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter. Therefore, upgrading your conservatory ensures that it remains a thermally efficient and fully functional living area regardless of the season.
Can Condensation in Double Glazing Be Fixed?
Fixing condensation in double-glazing will require drilling into the unit, removing the moisture and resealing it. The severity of the problem will determine whether the full unit needs replacing as a more cost-effective solution.
How Often Should uPVC Doors and Windows Be Cleaned?
Clean your doors and windows periodically with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution to keep them maintained. This will prevent scratching and help to extend the lifespan.
What Does U-Value Mean?
The term ‘U-Value’ refers to the measurement of heat transfer. This is measured individually on your specific windows, doors and other building materials. A lower U-value equates to better installation and less heat loss, so the product will help to make your home more energy efficient. A U-Value figure is measured in watts per square metre per Kelvin (W/m2K).
Could A New Conservatory Lower My Energy Bills?
A modern conservatory that is more energy-efficient will help to lower your energy bills. This is because it will reduce heat loss in the winter and overheating in the summer, making the space comfortable all year round.
Will New Double Glazing Offer Noise Reduction and Acoustic Dampening?
Newer double and triple-glazed units offer excellent noise reduction and acoustic dampening, especially compared to single glazing. No window will completely block sound; newer double-glazed units reduce sound levels by around 40-50 dB, making a noticeable difference in comfort.
Are uPVC Windows Better Than Wooden Windows?
Wooden windows often suffer from rot and decay, which is difficult to treat. uPVC windows are durable, hardwearing and require little maintenance, plus they are extremely thermally efficient. uPVC windows do not require painting either; they’ll just need wiping down with a damp cloth every so often.
What Colours Do Double Glazed Windows Come In?
People are choosing plain white windows less, which is why double-glazed windows come in a variety of colours. You’ll be able to customise your final windows to suit your personal style and the overall aesthetic of your home.
Do Double Glazed Doors Look Any Different?
More often than not, your double-glazed door will not look different from another external door. Close up, you may be able to see a gap between the two panes of glass, but this will not affect the aesthetics of a new door.
Can I Choose The Handles and Hardware On My Windows and Doors?
A huge variety of handles and hardware choices is available for new windows and doors. This includes Georgian bars, shaped or arched windows and leaded glass. When you order your windows and doors, you’ll have the option to choose from a variety of letter plates, handles, knockers, hinges and more.
Could A New Conservatory Add Value To My Home?
A well-designed, modern conservatory is a great way to boost your home’s overall value. How much the value increases will depend on the size of the conservatory as well as how well it integrates with your existing property. However, an energy-efficient space that is comfortable all-year-round will always be of interest to potential buyers.
Will Fitting New Double Glazing Add Value To My Home?
Replacing old, tired windows with double-glazed windows is a good way to add value to your property. This is especially true as double-glazed windows are often a deciding factor for house hunters, thanks to various security and energy efficiency factors.
How Much Does Double Glazing Cost?
It’s difficult to provide an accurate quotation on the cost of your double glazing without a survey. We’ll visit your home and provide you with a proposal for the replacement windows and doors, and other products you require. This is a free quotation and will provide you with an accurate indication of the cost of your double glazing, as well as the installation timescales.
Should I Replace All Of My Windows At The Same Time?
Typically, it is more cost-effective to replace an entire set of windows at the same time. This can massively increase the efficiency of your home and slash your energy bills. This will also massively improve the kerb appeal of your property, as all the windows will be the same, making it more attractive to potential buyers.
Do I Need Planning Permission For A Conservatory?
Do I Need Planning Permission For A Conservatory?
Most conservatories will not require planning permission. This is because they fall under ‘permitted development’. However, there are some exceptions.
Your new conservatory must not exceed 4 metres in height, or project more than 6 metres from your home’s original rear wall (for detached homes).
When you add a conservatory to your home, always check with your local authority for any restrictions you need to be aware of, especially if you live in a conservation area or a listed building.
