Where do you start when replacing your windows? If you are reading this article, it is likely that you are seeking answers to this very question. An integral part of your house’s life cycle, replacing windows is a necessity every 10-20 years or so.   Replacing windows may end up feeling complicated depending on the size of the project and the materials used, but this can always be made easier with replacement window specialists. How does one start this process, and where do they look? Keep reading to find out more from our expert company specialising in thermally efficient aluminium and steel windows. Replace And Rejuvenate One of the most important parts of replacing your windows is actually knowing when they need replacing (duh!). Sometimes it is obvious – if the window has some broken glass or you can’t open it, you’ll want a new window as soon as possible. Of course, broken glass is a major hazard, and in no circumstances should be left unresolved for a long period of time.   However, there are some more sneaky signs that you could possibly miss if you’re not looking for them. If there is a draught by the window, while it may seem like a minor issue, it is a sign you should replace the windows, as heat is now escaping from your home. Finally, if the window is only single glazed or was installed 15-20 years ago, as a rule of thumb it’s probably time for a new, improved window.  The Right Fit When it comes to choosing a company to work with, it can make things a bit easier if you define your specific needs and wants from the start, and work backwards from there. There are many different companies and options out there, which may, understandably, leave you feeling a little overwhelmed.   We would advise you to look carefully at the company’s website, ask questions, find out how they work, what they offer, and what previous customers have said about the company. This way, you understand more about the company’s values and experience, and better know who the ideal replacement window specialists may be. Some other key questions you need to ask are when the company is available and what areas they cover with their services. It is always worth waiting for the right fit rather than rushing to get the job done.   Jennyfields – Replacement Window Specialists Jennyfields has an expert team of specialists within the steel windows and doors industry, providing aluminium windows Surrey.

When selling a home, you’ve got a lot to consider. The age of your home can play a role in the overall process; as older homes may sometimes present trouble for a few select reasons. Whilst an older property in itself may not actually be an issue, aspects such as your home’s windows play a big part in the properties market value as well as just making your home stand out.    When it is time to upgrade your windows, specialists in steel windows and doors, such as Jennyfields, can help you make a smooth transition from old to new, whilst increasing the personal and retail value of your home in the long run. Let’s Start Saving Energy Having an energy-efficient home that can keep warmth in is highly sought after, with many homes looking to cut down costs and become environmentally friendly. Currently, the property market is full of homes with double glazed windows. These double glazed windows are pretty amazing at saving energy, and single glazed properties may struggle a bit more in the current market. Changing single glazed windows into new and improved double glazed windows can help keep your property up to most standards.   Double glazed windows come in different grades from A to E, with A being the best quality. Regulations require grade C or above, so try to ensure that you are meeting this if you do decide to implement double glazed windows for energy efficiency reasons.You can read more about energy efficiency within your home here.   A Worthy Investment? Besides saving energy, new windows can improve the security and overall aesthetic nature of a home. The level of light entering a home can change the way it feels, and new windows will add an additional sense of safety as windows may deteriorate over time – especially wooden frames (which are not so common or popular but are still in use).    If you are weighing up the costs of new windows, try to remember that the benefits are absolutely worth the investment. You will likely find that you can regain the costs on the property’s market value. Finding the right steel windows and doors company for your home is essential as you ideally want a fast, easy service that will give you high-quality service and a clean finish.    Jennyfields – Specialists In Steel Windows And Doors Jennyfields has an expert team of specialists within the steel windows and doors industry.

Every year we spend money to keep our homes warm during the colder months. Sometimes it may feel like you are spending more than you should be; unfortunately, this may end up proving true. Did you know that, on average, our homes lose around 18% of their heat through the windows alone? Over the year, this can quickly add up, causing the household to lose money. However, there are some things you can do to improve this, including steel windows and doors. Single Vs Double Glazing You have most likely heard these terms before, and just one extra glass pane can make a huge difference. Two pane windows, known as double glazing, have an air-filled gap between both panes of glass. Depending on the size and the gas inside, the gap helps prevent the warm air from escaping. Changing single glazed windows into double glazed can be expensive; however, the long term savings over the years is worth it.  Material Decisions The material of the window frame can make a difference too, and materials such as wood have a low environmental impact. However, they require a lot of maintenance, and as such, metal can be more beneficial. Metal as a material lasts much longer than wood and does not require as much maintenance. The metal can be melted down and recycled for other uses or new window frames should the frame be removed. Therefore, steel windows and doors can be an excellent choice for improving your home’s energy efficiency.  Stop That Breeze Having double glazed windows in steel is a significant first step, but we can take this further. There is usually a curtain where we have a window, and you can find heavy thermal curtains that help keep the heat inside. On top of this, there are seals, compression strips and silicone sealants you can buy. These can help bring steel windows and doors up and level, making them even better. This can also be an excellent first step before you consider replacing a window or door.  Jennyfields – Specialists In Steel Windows And Doors Jennyfields has an expert team of specialists within the steel windows and doors industry.

Was your gas bill higher than expected this winter? You are not alone. The majority of us become more reliant on heating during the winter months to keep our home warm. But is there any way you can keep your house warm without spending so much? Jennyfields have provided high-quality, aluminium windows and doors to our commercial and domestic clients for over 30 years. Keep reading to find out our top tips for warming up your home in the winter, without racking up too many costs. Window Shopping – Literally Having the right type of window for your home is essential; while wooden frames are readily available, they can be damaged easily, and water from rain can weaken the structure causing cracks that allows cold air to enter your home. On the other hand, alloys such as aluminium windows are cheaper alternatives that last longer, if looked after. This is definitely something to keep in mind when you are browsing for new windows.   Think Thermal Did you know you can get unique curtains that keep the heat inside? These are called thermal curtains, which tend to be thicker and heavier. They can be taken down once summer rolls in, and help to improve the efficiency of aluminium windows and doors, saving you money in the long run. These curtains work by raising the insulation level, trapping cold air between the window and the curtain, preventing the draught from entering the room.   Door Sweeps For Efficiency Adding door sweeps is another effective countermeasure against the cold. These long metal strips, usually made of silicone, neoprene or nylon can be mounted to the bottom of the door in a range of styles and sizes. Sealing the gap between the floor and the door, they save you money on heating, and help prevent pesky insects from entering your home.   Jennyfields – Specialists In Aluminium Windows And Doors Jennyfields has an expert team of specialists within the aluminium windows and doors industry.

Although they allow all-natural light to enter, of course, they do not completely replace the need for lights. However, they will reduce your overall energy consumption bill. If you are looking for a product that can add value to your home and save on your energy bills, this may be the perfect solution for you! Improving The Size Of The Space – Whilst adding a roof light will have no impact on the size of your room, it will make it feel much more spacious and open. With natural light filtering into a room, regardless of the size, the room will feel bigger. Roof lights also benefit people who may feel claustrophobic, this illusion of space will provide natural light to enter and lighten up a room whether it’s sunny or cloudy. Natural Light – Having a well-lit home is important to most people, and roof lights are the perfect example of how natural light can replace the need for bulbs and LEDs. Many homes are built close together with fewer windows to improve privacy. This comes at a cost; natural light. Whether you have a home with minimal natural light due to trees or other properties surrounding you, a roof light may solve the issue, eliminating dark areas within your property. Improved Mental Health – Natural light has been scientifically proven to benefit your mental health and well-being. Whether you are feeling low or stressed out, adding a source of light, preferably natural, could improve your mood. Think about how you feel when it’s raining compared to a day without a cloud in the sky. You gain an unlimited source of vitamin D if you plan to work or relax under a roof light. Increased Airflow – Roof lights can have openers, these are more commonly known as vented roof lights. Ideal for homes that suffer from airflow or circulation issues. Homeowners that suffer from extremely hot summer months could benefit tremendously from these roof lights, sucking warm air from the home and allowing cooler air to enter when the lower-level windows are opened. These can be opened manually, by a rocker switch or a remote-controlled switch.   Jennyfields – Steel Replacement Doors, Windows And Roof Lanterns If you are looking to create a fantastic finish to the visual impact and lighting of your home our range of roof lights and lanterns may be the perfect addition.
