It is starting to feel as though spring is in the air! We’ve been through another chilly South Wales winter that often feels as though it goes on forever, but it is finally nearing an end. It can be very difficult to make your home feel warm during the winter and can often feel like you’re fighting a losing battle against cold air, condensation and mould. This is why now is the ideal time to start making some changes to your home.
Replacement double glazed windows could be the ideal solution to many of your problems, and there’s no better time to have them installed. Add uPVC double glazed windows to your shopping list this spring to make your home a more comfortable and enjoyable place all year round.
Winter weather: The perfect indicator it’s time to replace your double glazing
Over the last few months, you might have noticed a few draughts creeping in around your home and this could be due to old and faulty windows. These draughts could be caused by a deterioration of seals around the window frame, which can happen over time. This allows cold air to seep in and make your home feel much cooler.
This could mean your windows are less thermally efficient than they used to be, causing you to compensate by cranking up the heating, in turn increasing your energy costs. Investing in uPVC double glazed windows now can mean you’re warm and ready to face whatever next winter has to throw at you.
The condensation question
Condensation is another issue that many homeowners find themselves dealing with throughout winter. This is most likely to occur first thing in the morning when the outside temperature has been significantly lower than indoors. This makes the glass cold and when the warm, moist air inside your home meets the glass, water droplets start to form.
This might seem like a fairly minor irritation, but if left unchecked it can lead to a wide range of more serious issues, including water damage to your window sills, frames, and surrounding walls. If that isn’t enough, it can also be the instigator of mould or mildew growth, which can be harmful to your health. Any excess water formed on or around the windows could also affect the mechanisms that allow the windows to open, close and lock, making your home less secure.
Replacement double glazing is one of the few solutions for a condensation problem. This will provide better thermal insulation, which means the inner pane of glass will stay much warmer compared to older windows. This means there’s less of a temperature gap between the pane of glass and the indoor air, and condensation is therefore less likely to form.
The spring season – time to bounce back
If the winter has proven difficult in your home, then now is the time to install replacement double glazed windows. Spring is often the time when we look to make a change and freshen things up a little bit and the improved weather makes this much easier. The milder weather means your installation process is less likely to be disrupted by rain or extreme temperatures, and the process has less impact on everybody who lives in your home. We believe it’s important to take the season into account when planning any home renovations, so you should know what to expect when installing double glazed windows in South Wales.
