Double glazing doors and windows are a necessary addition to a home which requires effective insulation against the cold weather, extra security and noise reduction. Replacing existing windows and doors can be a huge expense which occasionally leads to buying a cheaper product which is poor quality. Although double glazed windows and doors can be expensive, the quality shouldn't be compromised as good quality windows and doors will last for many years maximising your return on investment.
A door will be the main security feature of your home, maybe including patio doors or French windows. If you have any glazing in your door, it should be double glazed to provide effective insulation and reduce noise levels from outdoors. Patio doors and French windows should also be double glazed in order to reduce draughts and noise levels. The security options of doors and windows should also be considered as many home insurance companies demand a minimum level of security and will specify the type of locking system you have. Without fulfilling these criteria, you may find your home insurance null and void.
As the cost of windows and doors is an important consideration for many, it is possible to obtain good quality without having to pay more. One option is to fit the windows and doors yourself. Here at Wickes we have project brochures that give detailed instruction on fitting windows and doors, as well as a large range of double glazing doors and windows at low prices. Our windows and doors have high specification locks to keep your home secure, whilst complying with home insurance policies. Our products are available in PVCu and timber to suit your individual requirements and both are fully guaranteed and comply with building regulations.
Energy efficiency ratings are often an important feature which can influence your purchase. As energy saving is a huge concern, saving both money and the environment, windows now have to comply with new regulations which state that the energy rating should be at least a ‘C', with'A' being the most energy efficient.
Appearance is important as your windows and doors will be a feature of your home for many years. For minimal care and attention PVCu is the preferred option of many, with no painting required and only a wipe over to keep clean. If you select timber frames ensure that they have been treated adequately to avoid rot. A reputable supplier will offer a guarantee for many years free of rot or decay to provide frames which keep their appearance.
Before purchasing your double glazing doors and windows take the time to compare quality. Standard features should include a multi-point locking system to offer extra security, variable opening positions, no protruding hinges and fittings which will not corrode. Consider the opening positions carefully, as a window which doesn't fully open will restrict the cleaning options.
Buying the best quality windows and doors that you can afford will offer many years of security, effective insulation against the elements and energy reduction, whilst maintaining their appearance with minimal effort.
