When replacing your windows and doors, it’s hard to know the best option. Should you stick with your current steel versions? Or try Aluminium instead for a newer look? Here’s some things to consider when trying to choose between the two. Why not see if steel replacement doors can compare to Aluminium versions?  Benefits of Aluminium  Aluminium is considerably newer than steel in its use for windows and doors. It allows for double and even triple glazing to be put in place! Whereas steel can only support single glazing. Aluminium is also much more secure than steel. It meets all the current standards for locking mechanisms, when steel can only support basic locking. Aluminium windows and doors are expected to last between 30-40 years! If you’re worried about your heating bills, don’t worry, aluminium windows can be A rated. This means a reduced level of heat can escape due to thermal protection. With Aluminium doors and windows, you can pick any colour you like, go wild if you really want! But with steel this is less of an option. A big worry for any builder or home owner is rust. It is the bane of all windows. But with aluminium you don’t need to worry about it as it doesn’t rust. This is much better than steel which can easily rust over time. With aluminium windows, there’s no need to worry about getting a highly trained specialist to fit your windows, almost anyone can fit them!  Benefits of Steel Steel windows are a classic in the UK. When compared to aluminium, it may seem like they pale in comparison, but don’t count them out just yet. Steel windows and doors are actually three times stronger than aluminium. Furthermore, the panes are often larger due to steel being much slimmer than aluminium. They are very long lasting as the vast majority that are still in place were originally from the 1920s. But be aware that if they need to be replaced, you will need a specialist refurbishment company for this.  There’s a quick overview of the benefits of both! But, it’s up to you as to what is best for your situation currently! Bare in mind that there are other factors that need to be considered like cost and weather and whether your house is protected or not.  Contact us – Steel replacement Doors Jennyfields are steel replacement windows and doors specialists.

So you want to transform a space into a home office, but you’re finding it tricky with the small space you have? It’s a common modern-day problem as we try to accommodate a new working-from-home lifestyle, but fear not, there are plenty of useful tips and tricks to help you maximise your space without compromising on style. Desk Space A traditional desk in your mind may be a clunky, heavy piece of furniture which fills a room, but it doesn’t have to be! You may find that using a ladder-style desk with shelves above and below the primary workspace to be a great solution, and allows you to display books, folders, plants, and anything else you may need throughout the day. Alternatively investing in a fold-out desk that can simply be packed away at the end of your day might make for a clever desk idea which doesn’t compromise space, and can be a decorative addition to the office! Natural Light & Furniture To make a home office look bigger, it is important to maximise the natural light, and choose furniture and items which further elevate the bright, uncluttered nature of the room. Why not try updating your windows to allow for extra daylight? Steel Replacement Windows may be just what you’re after, and also add an elegant touch to the interior and exterior of your home! Considering a window refresh and also using a light colour for your walls and furniture is a good idea to give the illusion of a clear, and bigger space, and even choosing a transparent chair will help to declutter the office.  Storage Storage is your best friend in a small home office- if optimised correctly! When choosing storage such as drawers or bookcases ensure you keep in mind the mantra of ‘up, not out’. By choosing storage that is taller than it is wide you are making use of the entire vertical stretch of the room, without reducing floor space; this can dramatically change the feel of your office, and allow you to store more without feeling like you’re surrounded by ‘things’. Shelving can also be a great way to maximise storage above pre-existing furniture, and if you are unable to purchase a ladder-style desk, adding shelves above your existing desk will give the same great outcome! It is always possible to create a home office that is inviting, and using these suggestions you can design your office in a way that suits your needs and style so that you no longer dread Mondays!

You may not automatically think of windows needing maintenance, but you’d be wrong. Many steel windows can last the lifetime of the house itself as long as they are looked after properly. It’s often a simple process of just keeping your windows clean and rust-free, so that they remain in top condition. It doesn’t take long and isn’t back-breaking work luckily, even just 10 minutes every now and then can mean that your windows won’t need replacing, meaning your hard-earned cash stays in your pocket.  CONDENSATION AND MOULD  These are tricky things to keep under control in our environment. Our weather has a habit of being very wet and cold when our homes are warm and dry. This creates an area of condensation on the windows. A good way to keep this under control is using a dehumidifier to keep the damp under control. If condensation does appear, make sure you wipe it away with a cloth to prevent any build-up. Over time, condensation can lead to mould. The best way to deal with this is to remove any visible mould and clean the area well, making sure to clean away condensation in future as a preventative measure.  RUST AND CORROSION For metal windows and doors, rust is a common problem. The best way to monitor this is to regularly check your windows both inside and out to find any places where corrosion or rust has occurred. To prevent this from happening, steel windows can undergo galvanisation. This is the method of covering the steel in a thin layer of zinc. This method slows the rusting process dramatically, it is usually done before the windows are made through electrolysis or spray flaming. However, you can buy products that are spray-on; these provide an added layer of protection.  OUR RECOMMENDATIONS:  In life, your metal windows and doors aren’t generally your priority, but a few bits of maintenance now and then can add years to the lifetime of your windows. Make sure all areas of the windows are clean of dirt, dust, flies and paint etc. If your windows aren’t opening the way they should add a bit of WD-40 to ease it. A large part of windows use is to keep the weather on the outside. Check that the seals are working properly to keep your heating bills low. If your windows are put in with putty, check this yearly to see if any parts need to be replaced.  CONTACT US Jennyfields are window specialists.
