If you are looking out the window at wind and rain and hearing news of yet another storm heading our way, nice weather planning may not be the first thing on your mind.
Believe it or not, however, summer is on its way and with spring well underway, the timing has never been better to start thinking about home improvement.
One of the most effective ways to spruce up your home and invest in the future of your property is to install brand new doors and windows.
Expert installers such as the Advanced Group are able to put the latest uPVC windows and doors in place at any time of year, but spring is particularly popular among our Scottish customers, and for good reason.
What makes spring such a popular time for window replacements?
There are many reasons that spring is our busiest time of year as a professional window installer:
Perfect Weather Conditions
Our technicians can fit new windows and doors to a high standard at any time of year, but the mild nature of spring is especially conducive to a successful installation.
Some of the vital components of windows and doors are made from materials such as aluminium and vinyl which tend to expand in high temperatures and contract in colder climes.
Cold weather can cause the caulking used to connect seams and joints to split as the two surfaces being held together are pulled apart as each side contracts, leading to cracks and splits that could potentially cause leaks in the future.
On the other hand, if the conditions are too warm, caulking won’t cure in the first place.
For a perfect fit, every time, the mild temperatures associated with spring are ideal, and by the time any form of extreme weather rolls around, your windows will be set in and prepared to tackle anything that is thrown at them.
Enjoy the View!
It would be a shame to install a fantastic set of shiny new windows in your home only to have clouds and rain be the only sight for months to come.
Whilst we certainly can’t guarantee nice weather (This is the Scottish Spring we’re talking about) having your windows installed at this time of year will allow you to watch your garden come to life as spring sets in and hopefully welcome in plenty of sunshine in the months to come.
More Fresh Air
A long winter can leave your home feeling a bit stuffy and there is no better way to freshen it up than throwing open your windows and letting fresh air breeze through your home.
Fresh air can help to remove pollutants and allergens that have become embedded in soft furnishings and blow away stale air.
A failure to do this can lead to a range of health problems such as allergic reactions and asthma attacks.
If your windows have become stuck or stiff to open, this can be impossible, so installing new windows is essential to your quality of life in this situation.
At Advanced, we offer a wide range of windows that open in a number of different directions and manners in order to allow every customer easy access to outside air, no matter the characteristics of their property.
These options include:
- Casement Windows
- Tilt and Turn Windows
- French Windows
- Top-Hung Windows
Keep the Perfect Temperature
Whether it is keeping your home warm in the winter, or cool in the summer, temperature control is vital to being comfortable in your home.
Modern windows with double glazing Edinburgh are brilliant at preventing heat transfer, meaning that the heat generated in your home during the winter will be retained, whilst the warm air on the outside in the winter will be reflected away from your living space.
Older and single-glazed windows, on the other hand, leak heat and are often the cause of extortionate heating bills and heat leaves your home as quickly as your heating system generates it.
This means that by installing market leading double or triple glazed windows with Advanced, you will see an immediate reduction in your energy bills in the winter and improve your quality of life during the summer, offering you year-round benefits from your investment.
