4 Major Benefits of Updating the Windows in Your Home
If you suspect your windows are nearing the end of their lifespan, you may be wondering if it's worth getting them replaced - new windows can be a big investment, after all. However, it's an investment that's more than worth it.
In this article, we'll explore how upgrading to modern windows can transform your home's insulation, aesthetics, security, and soundproofing - all while boosting its overall value. Let's get started!
1. Insulation and Energy Efficiency
If your windows are on the older side, especially if they're single-pane or not well insulated, you might notice chilly drafts and unwanted heat slipping in. This can end up causing your energy usage - and your utility bills - to spike.
In contrast, modern windows are designed with advanced materials that trap the warmth inside during winter and keep it out during summer. You won't have to worry about cranking up the heat or AC as much, which means lower bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
At The Gutter and Cladding Company, we specialise in installing state-of-the-art uPVC and aluminium windows from Rehau and Duraflex. These windows are renowned for their exceptional energy efficiency, reducing heat loss by an impressive 25%. That means potential savings of hundreds on your yearly bills!
2. Aesthetics
Boasting sleek, contemporary designs, new windows can hugely elevate both the inside and outside beauty of your home. There's an endless array of styles, designs, and materials to choose from, giving you the opportunity to select windows that perfectly match your home's architectural style and your own tastes. By opting for newer windows, you can rejuvenate your home for a fraction of the price of a full-blown renovation.
We have a variety of stylish window options for you to choose from, including casement, sliding sash, and tilt and turn. Each style has its own distinct charm and comes in enough variations to complement any property, whether modern, classic, or even high-rise.
3. Security
Contemporary windows offer a range of advanced security features that boost the safety of your home. They can feature multiple locking points, stronger frames, and impact-resistant glass, which all work together to deter unauthorised access. These improvements give you and your family added peace of mind, making sure your home is well-guarded against potential break-ins.
Our windows' sturdy frames come with ingenious multi-locking systems, offering three times the protection compared to regular windows. They also feature shatter-resistant glass and are built to resist tampering, making them an exceptional choice for keeping your home safe and secure from unwanted visitors.
4. Soundproofing
Newer windows often come with improved sound insulation properties that can reduce the amount of noise that enters your home. This is especially useful if you live in a noisy urban area, near a busy street, or in close proximity to other sources of noise. Upgrading to windows with double glazing and soundproofing features can create an even quieter and more peaceful indoor environment.
Our uPVC windows provide a superior defence against various types of noise, from barking dogs to blaring car horns. They effectively minimise disruptions within your home, allowing you to work, rest, and enjoy living in a more tranquil environment.
