Take it from a company that’s been specialising in windows for years, that having energy-efficient windows fitted in place of your old windows is the most effective way to deal with any lack of home insulation.
Our replacement windows realise amazing insulation standards; however, you can uplift that insulation further to maximise insulation and energy savings.
More details of that now follow, with helpful hints on improving insulation to make your home the cosiest of spaces all through each winter.
Signs That You Require New Windows
If condensation is present in between your window panes, a room is draughty or has a cold spot, there are cracks in your window frames or they’re becoming warped, or you’re having difficulty opening and closing your windows, they’re instant red flags.
Such problems are telling you that window insulation is poor and it’s time to have some replacements fitted.
Energy-efficient double-glazed windows will revive home comfort and lower heat wastage.
Replacement vs. Insulation – Cost and Payback
Insulation is attractive because of its low price, but you must bear in mind that its impact is likely to be minimal if your windows are single glazed, worn and old.
You’d be wiser trusting in contemporary energy-efficient designs to deal with draughts, boost insulation and make the cost of energy less of a financial headache.
With energy prices consistently rising, it may not take long to get your money back on new windows.
Some Effective Window Insulation Techniques
Window Film – Designed to add an extra layer to glazing, it’s simple to apply and remove. Can reduce heat loss by up to 30%.
Thermal Curtains and Blinds – Bringing style and privacy, thick fabrics also trap warmth internally and cut draughts.
Caulking and Weatherstripping – Use either solution to seal any gaps that have appeared in frames to stop draughts sneaking through them.
Bubble Wrap Insulation – Very cheap to buy and the air pockets will restrict heat loss.
Secondary Glazing – Acts as an extra pane that you add to the inside of an existing frame. Often, it will reduce the audibility of outside noise.
Draught Excluders and Insulation Tape – Their purpose is to fix gaps around frames, sliding sashes and doors.
Energy-efficient windows offer excellent insulation alone, but added insulation will take it up a notch, increasing indoor warmth and energy savings.
