Effective ways to get your home ready for a British winter

home with upvc windows and roofline

As we approach October, the summer seems like a distant memory. The nights draw in. The leaves begin to fall. Soon, the first frosts will appear on the ground. As the temperature drops and the weather takes a turn for the worse; our thoughts often return to protecting our homes.

During the winter, we all spend more time in our homes. The colder, wetter weather and reduced daylight hours mean we all want a warm and cosy place to return to after a hard day’s work. At Falcon Installations, we want to help you to prepare your home for the oncoming British winter.

Insulate your home

There are many ways to insulate your home. From simple draught excluders and heavy curtains to cavity wall insulation and loft lagging; insulation is an integral part of any modern home. Did you know that a lot of your home’s heat is lost through poorly performing windows and doors? Old frames and weathered or deteriorating seals can significantly reduce your home’s energy efficiency and lead to problems with cold spots and condensation.

At Falcon Installations, we offer a wide range of energy efficient windows and doors. All our glazing products are A rated for energy efficiency and feature a multi-chambered frame for improved thermal insulation. Argon gas sealed units further increase your home’s performance while using low emissivity glass helps to retain heat inside your home.

Protection from the elements

upvc roofline

A winter storm can wreak havoc on your home’s exterior. Your roofline can be damaged and your window and door frames can be weakened and become weathered over time. At Falcon Installations, our uPVC window and door frames are extremely weather resistant. They have been tested to rigorous industry standards to ensure the best protection for your home.

We also install a range of roofline products. Keeping your roofline in good condition is one of the most important but overlooked aspects of your home maintenance. Failing or damaged roofline can cause water to enter your property, eventually compromising the building’s structural strength. With new fascias, soffits, and guttering, you’ll have peace of mind that your home is winter ready.

If your home needs some increased protection ready for this winter, contact Falcon Installations today. Call us on 01656 646 047 or send us a message online.
