New Year - New Look

January is the time of year when a lot of people start thinking about the work they want to do on their homes over the coming year, from decorating, extensions, conservatories and improving the overall look of their home.

Installing upvc doors and windows can give your home a totally new look and create a fantastic first impression for visitors. Improved looks are not the only benefit, quality well fitted doors and windows reduce drafts, providing better insulation reducing your heating bills and can reduce the amount of outside noise coming into your house.

UPVC doors and windows have an expected lifespan of around 20 years and will keep their fantastic looks throughout this time, requiring no real maintenance other than a regular clean.  There is now a wide array of designs available, with styles to suit all tastes, budgets and homes from contemporary designs to more traditional ones. A few years ago white was the only colour available, now there are rosewood and oak options with a wood grain effect to give a more traditional appearance.

UPVC doors are made to measure, they are pre-installed in a new frame ready to fit into place. Top lights and side panels are also available in a wide variety of designs. You may require a standard glazed panel or a panel which matches the design of your door; discuss the options with your supplier as it is almost impossible for them to put all the combinations in the brochure or website!

Security is an important consideration for every home owner and must be taken into account when purchasing doors and windows. When you buy a quality product, it be should be reinforced, with good quality glazing and a multi point locking system from a reputable well known manufacturer which will not only set your mind at rest but deter the unwanted intruders.
