Summers Over....my first blog!!

So the summer is nearly over and in a few days the kids go back to school....except as usual we haven’t had a summer!! June was good, but July and August have once again been a complete wash out.

Will this trend continue for years to come...probably! So if last year was anything to go by, then we’ve got a cold winter to look forward to.


Which is why now is a good time to think about changing your windows and doors to energy efficient uPVC. Installing energy efficient glazing is an effective way of reducing your energy bills and keeping your home warmer and quieter.


The benefits of having double glazing installed, according to the www.energysavingtrust.org.uk are:


“The benefits of double glazing


  • Smaller energy bills: replacing all single glazed windows with energy efficient glazing could save you around £130 per year on your energy bills.
  • A smaller carbon footprint: by using less fuel, you’ll generate less of the carbon dioxide (CO2) that leads to global warming.
  • A more comfortable home: energy efficient glazing reduces heat loss through windows and means fewer draughts and cold spots.
  • Peace and quiet: as well as keeping the heat in, energy efficient windows insulate your home against unwanted outside noise.
  • Reduced condensation: energy efficient glazing reduces condensation build-up on the inside of windows.”
So don’t wait for the cold winter months to set in, think about making the changes now.
