When is best to replace windows in the North East or Scotland?
Replacing old, tired windows with double glazing and new frames can be costly, but is often worth it in the long run. Not only will you add value to your home in the form of curb appeal, but you’ll also save on your heating bills with better energy efficiency. This is great news for your wallet, and great news for the planet too. If you’re not sure whether or not it’s time to take the plunge, we’ve put together this quick guide to help.
You’re already renovating
Whether you’ve bought a fixer-upper, or are simply making a few improvements here and there, any refurbishment project is the perfect time to replace old windows. While window replacements are usually quick and painless, there will be some minor disruption to make way for the new. This includes removal and disposal of the old windows, while furniture, blinds, and curtains may need to be removed to provide access to the area.
In addition, you will need to ‘make good’ around the new windows following installation, which may mean new sill replacements or touch-ups to the interior paint. All of this is far easier to manage during a wider renovation project, when you can time your window replacements prior to interior decorating and furnishing.
Your house is hard to heat
If winters are particularly cold and draughty at your place, it could be time to update your windows with modern double glazing. Whether you particularly feel the cold, or simply feel the hit to your bank account when the heating bill goes out, upgrading your windows could well be the solution.
