When it comes to keeping warm this winter, don’t assume cranking up the heat is your only option. Today, Hamilton Windows is exploring a few of the ways you can use your windows and doors to stay warm, right the way through to spring…
Keep those windows and doors closed!
It may seem like a simple suggestion, but you’d surprised at how much heat can escape from a property due to draughts alone. Be careful to identify draughty areas of the house, such as windows left needlessly ajar.
Investigate a glazing upgrade
If you’ve been contemplating double glazing for your property, you may be surprised at what a difference an extra pane of glass can make. Double glazing helps properties to become much more energy and thermally efficient, which serves to retain heat, keep your energy bills down, and reduce your impact on the environment.
Consider triple glazing
Did you know, triple glazed products are around 40% more thermally efficient than A+ rated, double glazed frames? So, if you haven’t already made the sensible upgrade to triple glazing, heat conservation serves as another great reason to do so.
Make use of your window dressing
Curtains, shutters and blinds will all help to conserve warmth when the temperature plummets. Get into the habit of drawing your curtains once the sun goes down, and you’ll provide an important extra layer of insulation to warm your home throughout the night.
Ward off damp
Low-performing windows can encourage damp when water vapour accumulates on the windowpanes and consequently causes a build-up of condensation throughout the house. This in turn can lead to a dank atmosphere permeating throughout the rooms of your home in the winter months. So, consider double or triple glazing, which prevents heat conduction, and keeps your property at a much more comfortable temperature.
