Replacing old doors and windows is a practical way to improve a house's energy efficiency by sealing gaps around window and door openings and providing insulation against the outdoors. A particularly effective method of improving your home is single glazed window upgrading and choosing double glazed window units, or even triple glazing if your budget allows. More effective seals are now used on new windows thanks to technological developments and the increased glass quality of new windows mean heat loss is reduced. External doors are also responsible for heat loss, so if you want to cut your heating bills, replacement door installations could be the way to go. Building conservatories can be a buffer between the house and your garden, and building porches can do the same at the front of your property, warming your home through the glass and adding insulation. As a result of the large expanse of glass these extensions include, choosing quality glazing, windows and doors is advisable.
The first selection when you're replacing old windows or fitting windows in an extension or self build building project, is which windows to choose for your home. The majority of new window installations are casement windows, available in a variety of models including side and top hung, and you can choose to incorporate top vents. Other alternatives include sash windows. In the main, sash windows are made from wood which can be treated with wood stain or painted which will protect them from weathering and enable them to blend in with existing colouring of wood inside and outside your home. You could also choose French windows, which give the option of opening both panes of glass, or there are twist turn windows, enabling you to open them as a vent or they can be rotated 180 degrees which makes them easy to clean. Windows made from uPVC can have matching cills and window boards fitted and the fact they are low maintenance is an added bonus, as staining, painting and varnishing isn't required.
When you're upgrading windows, different glazing styles are on offer, such as etched glass designs, coloured glass and frosted glass designs. Etched and frosted windows are usually fitted in downstairs or upstairs bathrooms and toilets where privacy is required. Various types of decorative glass such as coloured or stained panels or lead designs either as edging, diamond or square arrangements, is an attractive glazing embellishment for windows and doors. In the main, listed buildings and period properties need designs of existing windows to be copied when new windows are being fitted as part of a renovation project to protect the look, feel and character of the house.
If you're short on space in your home and need extra living accommodation, an orangery, conservatory or sun room could provide the space you need. Made to measure conservatories can be built offering multi-functional spaces suitable for use as living or dining rooms, or to relax after a day at work. Sun rooms and orangeries can also be included in a property design creating an individual entrance hall, morning room, atrium or kitchen which is light and airy with lots of ventilation and with energy efficient windows and glazing, creates a warm space to enjoy the winter weather.
You will have a large selection of types of external doors to choose out of when you're replacing old existing doors or you need external doors fitting to an extension or new build. For choices of exterior doors that work well overlooking a garden or terrace, options you may like include patio doors, uPVC or wooden French doors or folding doors. When porches are being constructed at the front of properties, or back doors are being replaced, composite doors can be a popular alternative to solid wood, which is largely because energy efficiency is up to 6 times better than solid wood doors. A further door material you might like to choose is uPVC, that provides a broad colour choice and different finishes such as white, walnut and brown wood grain. uPVC doors are also fitted as standard with mortice locks with either 3, 5 or 7 levers, and tend to be popular due to increased security compared to wood doors that have locks with single points.
