Replacement windows are not usually top of the list when it comes to home improvements, but truth be told they probably should be. Whether your windows have condensation, hard to open or close, or your frames and sills have deteriorated, considering the benefits of replacement windows is a must. New windows will save the energy you consume, help to retain heat within your property, keep your property cooler in warmer weather, be more visually appealing, and provide extra security. In addition, new windows can offer a very attractive return on investment if you ever choose to sell your home.
Investing in new windows can seem expensive at a glance, but if you consider the estimated savings year on year; it’s one of the best purchases for any homeowner. Single glazing can contribute to heat losses as high as 70% whereas new energy efficient windows will retain heat in the winter and help keep your home cooler in the summer months. By creating new parameters for how you use energy within your home, you can significantly lower your carbon footprint.
Additional Benefits
By introducing new energy efficient windows, you can decrease your heating demand by up to 25%, allowing you the comfort of a desirable temperature at a significantly lower cost.
Argon filled units offer an insulation barrier in double/triple glazed windows and help keep air from escaping from your home.
New energy efficient windows have a low thermal emissivity (Low-E) coating applied to the glass. This reflects long wave infrared energy (heat) from the sun, keeping your home comfortable especially in the summer months. This technology compliments argon filled units and can significantly improve the thermal efficiency of your windows.
Not only will you benefit from immediate savings in your monthly energy bills, but by claiming a carbon reduction voucher from Zero Carbon you will see an instant saving too!
Increase the Value of Your Home
If you were to replace your windows now and sell your home tomorrow, not only would it make your home more attractive to the potential buyer, it would increase the sale value and allow you to recoup the cost of installation. New windows are an excellent investment and beautiful addition to any home but the best way to appreciate the advantages is to install them for yourself. The ever-increasing range of window types, sizes, colours, hardware, finishes and styles allows you to match your windows to your preferred taste which can greatly influence how your neighbours perceive your home.
