How To Get Replacement Windows Organised For Your Home
Go outside of your home and have a look at your windows. How are they looking? If you feel that they aren’t doing the place any favours in terms of appearance, they need replacing at the soonest opportunity.
Other reasons why they should be replaced include a noticeable drop in thermal efficiency or any suspicion that they are putting your home security at risk.
Once they’re bought, new replacement windows should last for years and do your home the world of good throughout that time.
But don’t buy any until you have read our window buying guide, so that you make the right choices:
Window style
Every home has its own individual character and personality, and you want to retain that with any new window installation.
There are a lot of window styles that you can buy, and Amber Home Improvements has virtually all of them, including casement windows (one of the most classic styles), bay and bow windows (often used in period homes), and tilt and turn windows (provide an inventive opening).
Find a style that will work, and if you don’t want to veer too far away from what you have now, opt for a like-for-like window.
Window material
You will notice that Amber relies on two materials to produce its windows – UPVC and aluminium. Both excel when it comes to energy efficiency, but they have their differences.
UPVC windows tend to be a little bit cheaper, and despite their low cost, they aren’t like wooden windows. So they won’t rot, corrode, or anything like that, without maintenance.
Aluminium windows are also weather-resistant, but their frames are more slender and they carry more glass. They also have a powder-coated finish, which makes their finish very distinctive and eye-catching.
Window installer
To get great windows, they must be bought from a great installer, who will also fit them to industry standards so that they perform how they’re meant to.
Installers in your area can be found on Google, where you should also be able to access reviews of local companies so that you can read testimonials from some of their customers.
An accredited company would be a safe choice as it will cover you in the event of any issues occurring. Amber is a member of FENSA, the industry’s biggest trade association.
The reopening of our showroom gives you an opportunity to see all of our replacement windows and find out for yourself if we’re a company to trust.
