Draughts
Can you feel air coming in around windows or external doors? While this is not so much of a problem in warmer weather, draughts reduce thermal efficiency, making your home colder and harder to heat.
If you regularly feel a draught around windows or entrance doors, it is probably time for a replacement. Draughts can indicate a problem with seals, double glazing and frames/alignment.
Deterioration
Wooden doors and window frames, such as old sliding sash windows, can rot and warp, leading to water ingress, damp, draughts and insect infestations. If you notice wood rot, peeling paint, splitting or warping, it is time for a replacement. To avoid such issues in the future, we recommend clients in Banstead upgrade to composite doors, uPVC windows and aluminium windows. We even have uPVC sash windows available.
UPVC and aluminium window frames are much more durable, so last longer than timber products. However, they will need replacing eventually, so be aware of age and general wear and tear.
Glazing
Double-glazed units will need replacing if you notice condensation or misting between the glass panes. You may also see damage to the seals. In addition, Dorwyn Ltd advises homeowners with single glazing to upgrade to double-glazed windows for superior performance and comfort.
Our company provides double glazing as standard with all uPVC window frames and aluminium windows, as well as glazed door installations.
Trouble Using Doors and Windows
Do you have difficulty opening, closing or locking doors or windows? Are any windows painted or nailed shut? As well as being annoying, these issues can pose a safety hazard, as they may prevent a quick escape in a fire or allow easier access for intruders. Issues with warping and poor fitting can also result in draughts and leaks.
