Author: Tarriq | Leave a Comment >>Daylight hours are the longest they have been so far this year and will continue to be so for the next few months as we make our way into summer. There is nothing quite like waking up in the morning to the natural rays of the sun, whilst drawing your curtains at night after an evening filled with pure sunshine. But is your home fully utilising the amount of sunshine received?
Hazlemere Windows recommends that any homeowner looking to take full advantage of the sun in their home installs double glazing in Slough or double glazing in Oxford as not only will it make it a much more inviting place to live, but it will also keep…

Author: Tarriq | Leave a Comment >>UK families continue to find it more and more difficult to make ends meet according to a study by Legal & General. It found that over a million families are shorter of money than they were in just September of last year.

E.ON Urges Landlords And Tenants To Insulate Homes
Author: Tarriq | Leave a Comment >>The cost of household energy remains an on-going concern. With more and more people slipping into fuel poverty, millions of homeowners are desperately seeking ways of driving down energy costs. One of the Big Six energy suppliers, E.ON, has come out and recommended that landlords and tenants do more to make their property ‘energy fit’.
They say collectively, a grand total of £990 million per year could be saved if renters install energy efficient measures in their home. This works out at a saving of £400 per year each, a substantial cut for those who are finding it increasingly difficult to manage their energy bills. They suggest that loft insulation, cavity wall insulation and double glazing are proven ways of achieving such savings.

Why its worth ensuring a property is thermally efficient
Author: Mark Austin | Leave a Comment >>With ever increasing fuel costs, it is now more important than ever that UK homeowners replace inefficient windows and doors with thermally efficient ones. That said, to ensure a property gets the full benefit from an investment in modern energy saving double or triple glazing one must also insulate the loft properly and install cavity wall insulation or solid wall insulation dependent on the type of house and manner of construction.
On 1st April 2012, a new energy efficiency requirement for householders installing solar panels came into force. UK householders with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) of Band D or better (A being the best) are eligible for the most financially beneficial Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) of 21p/kWh for each spare unit they generate. Owners of houses…

Double Glazing Is A Necessity In High Wycombe Homes
Author: Tarriq | Leave a Comment >>Going without double glazing in your home does not make financial sense. Household energy bills on average cost £1,250 per year and could reach as much as £1,500 within the next 2-3 years if analysts are to be believed. The stage has been reached where we can no longer take gas and electricity for granted and it is our responsibility as a homeowner to do something about it.
This means taking our necessary energy efficient measures in our homes such as the replacement of any old and poorly insulated windows. When heat loss in the home occurs, as much as 25% of it can be put down to the inability of traditional windows to trap and store the heat generated by a boiler.

UK Energy Set To Be In Short Supply
Author: Tarriq | Leave a Comment >>The head of energy regulator Ofgem, Alistair Buchanan, has warned consumers that there could be a tight squeeze on gas and electricity supplies by as soon as 2015.
At a conference in Amsterdam, he reportedly put the potential shortages down to the closure of Britain’s coal-fired power stations and the delays experienced in building nuclear power plants and wind farms.
Any shortages could have a serious knock-on effect on the cost of gas and electricity as nation’s battle to compete for energy which will come as seriously bad news to all UK homeowners at a time when they are paying an average annual household energy bill of over £1,200.
Financial experts warned earlier this month that Britain is facing higher gas prices this winter…

Why Build When You Can Extend!
Author: Tarriq | Leave a Comment >>Finding your dream property is easier said than done. Its can take months, even years of house-hunting to find a home that meets all the requirements of you and your family. If it turns out to be an impossible task then the next option is to build a new home from scratch, but the costs involved can prove to be astronomical and beyond the financial reach of most.

Why it’s worth investing in UPVC
Author: Mark Austin | Leave a Comment >>Apart from saving money, being warmer, looking nicer and virtually no maintenance, there is another reason why investing in UPVC replacement double glazed windows, doors and a conservatory is worthwhile – which in two words is desirability and saleability.
Due to a lack of buyers actually purchasing, many UK home owners are really struggling to sell their properties. Not only has the economic situation meant that it has become much harder for first time buyers to get a mortgage or save up for a decent deposit, but that it actually far less expensive to renovate than down size. Consequently, for the few who you can convince to look round your house, you really need to impress.
With this in mind many property owners have realised…

Bespoke UPVC windows are available without any white bits
Author: Mark Austin | Leave a Comment >>Most customers want white replacement UPVC windows and doors, not just because they are less expensive that foiled or coloured UPVC frames, but also because when it comes to re-selling a property potential purchasers prefer white windows and they know if they do themselves sell the house on, their buyers will want white for the same reason.
That said, property owners with no plans to move, or who simply want windows and doors to their liking or to blend in with say a more traditional older property or countryside environment might frankly not want white windows.
In the UK the most common standard foil woodgrain timber effect window finishes are white woodgrain, golden oak, rosewood and mahogany. There are other foiled window and door finishes…
