So many choices, so little time!

Are your windows letting in cold draughts? Or has some mould damaged the framing? Or are they simply looking a little worn? You have decided you need new windows, and you will be considering the wide range of options available to you, which can be a bit overwhelming! Do you need single, double or triple glazed windows? What kind of material will suit your home best? Which configuration of window is ideal for your project? Click on the articles linked below to get all the information you need to make the best possible decision, which is just as easy as 1, 2, 3!

1. Glazing

By choosing single glazed windows, you can cut your costs by half, but they won’t keep your home cozy in the winter like double or triple glazed windows. To find out more about double and the less common triple glazed windows, you can check out our articles on the subject:

2. Material
If you have opted for new windows, you now have to choose what kind of material you would like for your windows to be encased in. uPVC windows are the cheapest option, while wood can look incredible but requires upkeep, and aluminium offers an elegant addition to any modern home. Learn more about the different types of material, ranked here by order of popularity:

Aluminum windows

3. Openings

How would you like your new window to open, if at all? Sash windows that open from the bottom can be dangerous for little ones, an important thing to think about if you have small children. Other than sash windows, the most popular type is casement windows, which are typically cheaper. Click below for full explanations of these two common types of windows:

Useful tips when buying new windows

  • Think about your needs
  • Consider your energy savings
  • Take the style of your home into consideration
  • Compare service providers

Different windows, different needs
To find out what you need in a new window, you should consider what climate you live in. If it tends to get quite chilly, you may consider extra insulation or even triple glazed windows. In hotter environments, uPVC windows can degrade more quickly. Will the window get more or less sun, or be more or less susceptible to break-ins? Windows onto the street could need extra security protection than, say, a second-floor window.

Initiate energy saving mode
The energy efficiency of your windows is also very important since you could save up to 50% on your energy bill if they are well-installed and well-suited to your home. Ask your window provider about the solar heat gain coefficient, air leakage, visible transmittance and condensation resistance of their windows. Lower coefficients and leakage are better, and for the last two, the higher the number the better. These vary considerably depending on the configuration of the window frame and glazing type, so make sure you talk to someone in the know before making a decision.

Be your own style guru
Consider the architectural style of your home. For more traditional homes, wooden or uPVC frames fit best with their overall appearance. Aluminum windows look amazing when paired with modern architectural designs. Windows set the mood inside your home, and aluminum-clad windows are a nice alternative, combining a low-maintenance (metal) exterior with a cozy (wooden) interior. Ultimately, the choice is up to you. But research is vital, and to make an informed decision, you need to have the best information at your fingertips, for instance looking at whether or not you’ll need planning permission. This can be easily found by comparing prices from different companies.
