Are Your Windows Doing A Poor Job Of Keeping Out The Weather?

Winter has reared its ugly head early this year, with the region already being subjected to freezing temperatures, even though we’re only in the middle of November.

Who knows how much colder the weather will get? While we’re unable to tell you that, what we can tell you is that just like loft insulation and cavity wall insulation, your existing windows need to be doing a sound job of insulating your home if conditions continue as they are or worsen.

You shouldn’t be able to feel the faintest hint of a draught coming through them. If you can, new energy efficient windows ought to be a major priority.

Provided double or triple glazed, and in modern and traditional varieties, our energy efficient window designs will keep draughts out and better utilise the warmth produced by your boiler.

Installing energy efficient windows from Planet will also benefit you, and your home, for three further reasons…

1. Greater security

Research has shown that burglaries increase by 35% during winter and as well as your doors, it will be your windows that thieves target. Therefore, they need to be strong and secure.  

Manufactured using a resilient UPVC or aluminium profile, we integrate a multi-point lock into each window which engages at various points when locked. So that the glass cannot be removed from outside a building, we internally bead it. 

2. Lower fuel costs

Your heating usage will drastically decrease upon the installation of energy efficient windows as the glass will reflect the heat from your boiler back into the room.

Being able to turn your heating on less frequently will also be beneficial from a financial perspective due to the reduced cost of your fuel bills. You can expect to save a pretty penny over the years.
