How To Choose The Right Windows For Your Home

May 7, 2019Freya Gay
Double Glazing Bristol

Everyone can agree, windows are a big investment. Especially if you’re needing to replace every window in the house! So of course, you’ll want to make sure you are getting the right ones that suit your house and your family’s needs. The right windows will make an enormous difference to any home, but most particularly if you live in an older property.

Here at Cornish Glazing, we are one of the leading independent glass suppliers in Bristol. It’s our goal to provide a quality range of glazing products, suited to a wide range of budgets and homes. With our diverse range of skills and years of experience, we will ensure that every project we start is completed exactly to specification.

Over the years we have worked on thousands of projects throughout Bristol with the main aim of ensuring all work is completed to the highest standard. Providing a professional and friendly service with competitive pricing, we’re always happy to discuss your requirements over the phone and provide you with a quote.

Why is it Important to Choose the Right Windows?

Over the years, the design of windows has changed a lot. Choosing to install windows that don’t fit with the age of the property can make them look out of place and can potentially reduce the value of your home. You’ll find that potential buyers will usually pay a bit more for period appropriate windows, and they will generally look more visually striking, catching people’s eyes!

Window Styles

When it comes to choosing which style windows you have, there are a few things to think about. Different windows will serve different purposes, especially with light, ventilation and the overall style of the house.

Common Window Styles:

  • Casement Windows – These are hinged on either the left or the right and will allow the glass panes to swing out like doors, providing excellent ventilation.
  • Sash Windows – these feature two sashes. The top window will remain stationary and the bottom one will slide up and down.
  • Fixed Pane Windows – these will not open but can be a great increasing light in your home.

Window Materials

  • Timber Windows – Sometimes, wood can be a great material choice for a window frame. They’ll fit in with the history of a building, bringing character and a unique finish. Timber windows will also have a long lifespan and will be more environmentally friendly than plastic windows.
  • Aluminium Windows – Aluminium windows can be a great way to bring a sleek, chic look to your home. They’re a trendy choice, inherently strong and also very low maintenance.
  • uPVC – uPVC is a strong form of plastic, which has become a very popular material throughout the construction industry in recent years. It offers excellent performance and durability, only requiring a small amount of maintenance.

Your Glass Pane

You’ll likely find that Single Pane Glass is an outdated option and that many homeowners opt for double glazing throughout Bristol. Double Glazing is an intelligent investment that’ll easily improve both the value of your home and its thermal efficiency.

Having quality double glazed units installed throughout your home could potentially save you an average of £175 a year on energy bills.
