Three Home Renovations To Get Your Home Spring Ready

Spring is finally here, and with it, homeowners have a great opportunity to get their homes ready for the warmer months of the year. However, it is easy to get side-tracked when it comes to home renovations, as it there is always something that could be improved around the house and it’s difficult to know what to tackle first for the best effect.

Yet, there are some sure-fire home renovation projects that can help you give your property a fresher look just in time for the summer. Want to know more? Then continue reading.

Install Bi-Folding Doors

Bi-folding doors have taken the world of interior design by storm. They are usually (but not exclusively) fitted in rooms that open up onto a patio or garden. These doors have many benefits, as they let more natural light into the house, improve the flow of fresh air during the summer, provide easy access to your garden or decking, and are an affordable way of adding a modern touch to your home.

Build A Conservatory

If you have been postponing this project, now is the right time to finally get it done. A conservatory adds value to your home while providing higher standards of comfort. Just imagine yourself enjoying some relaxing time in a warm, airy, and bright conservatory that brings you closer to your garden.

Install New Windows

Don’t underestimate the power of new windows when it comes to enhancing and modernising the appearance of your home. Moreover, good-quality windows can work as insulators against the cold air of some spring days, and they also reduce the risk of condensation and damp. With so many materials and designs available, finding the right windows for your home has never been easier.

If you need help or advice from home renovation professionals, at Abelglass we will be more than happy to help. We are a family-run business with ample expertise in installing a wide range of doors and windows, including bi-folding doors. We can also help with the design and construction of secure and stylish conservatories. Contact us today for a free estimate and take the first step towards getting your home ready for the summer.

The Advantages Of Installing uPVC Windows

Easy maintenance, durability and energy efficiency are just three of the reasons that UPVC windows are so popular. One of the most widely used materials when it comes to installing double glazing, they also offer excellent soundproofing and heat insulation, while coming in a range of styles and designs to perfectly suit the aesthetics of your home.

Our latest post here at AbelglassΒ runs through some of the great advantages your home can benefit from by opting to install UPVC windows over any other materials.

Energy Efficient and Eco-Friendly

UPVC windows are made from 100% recyclable materials and manufactured through a low-pollution, low-emission process. UPVC was originally invented as an insulator, and both the design and materials used in the construction of UPVC windows afford far greater heat retention than materials like wood or aluminium. They’re also weather and corrosion resistant, which removes the need for re-finishing and extends their life.

Ultra Low-Maintenance

Wood warps and splits and metal tarnishes and rusts; both require regular, or at least annual, maintenance. Re-finishing, re-painting, sanding and varnishing can be time-consuming, while UPVC windows simply need a wipe clean with soap and warm water. Their unparalleled durability contributes to their low-maintenance appeal, and they won’t need replacing due to weathering.

Low-Cost

Due to the ease of manufacture, UPVC windows are often far cheaper than wooden or metal alternatives. Timber or a metal like aluminium will generally cost you 30 per cent more than UPVC, and the savings you make from low-maintenance and enhanced energy efficiency quickly make UPVC a more economic choice.

Aesthetic Appeal

The perfect frame for double-glazing, the popularity of UPVC has led to a wealth of design possibilities. UPVC windows come in a wide range of styles designed to suit the period and ‘look’ of your home. Their simple, white, wipe-clean construction offers both elegance and practicality.

Durability

UPVC windows are expected to last up to 40 years and are considered one of the most robust, secure and durable options on the market; that’s why we offer a 10-year manufacturers guarantee with all our installations. Unlike timber of aluminium frames, wear and tear is often only superficial and won’t affect things like the quality of insulation.

That’s why, from single or double to triple glazed, on old or new builds, UPVC is the most popular choice for a stylish, practical and no-fuss window.Β Contact us today to discuss your requirements in everything from fitting to repairs, or visit our gallery for inspiration.

 

Four Tips To Make Your Home Ready For Winter

The nights are beginning to draw in, and there is a definite chill in the air. With unpleasant memories of last year’s energy bills lingering, what can you do to ensure that your house is as snug, cosy and energy efficient as possible ready for winter? Here are a few essential tips for householders:

Tip One: Get Your Gas Boiler Serviced

Get a plumber or technician in to check that your boiler is working to its maximum capacity. A check or service should be carried out every year, and autumn is the ideal time to catch any minor problems before they turn into big headaches.

Tip Two: Change Your Light Bulbs

Now is a good time to make sure that all your light bulbs are energy efficient. This can have a drastic impact on reducing your electricity bill. Energy efficient light bulbs last much longer, saving you money in the end as well as being kinder to the environment.

Tip Three: Make Sure Your Home is Properly Insulated

Check your loft. There are plenty of government grants available to help you get your loft cavity properly insulated so it would be wise to take advantage of them if you have not already done so. Walk around your home and try and spot any draughty places that need blocking. Use a lighted candle; if the flame flickers, you have a draught!

In the attic, seal any holes that lead down to the house such as electrical runs, plumbing and wall tops. Cover and seal these with a rigid foam board and adhesive spray foam if necessary; draughts from attic spaces are huge energy waste.

Tip Four: Install Modern Double-Glazed Windows

If you haven’t already done so, installing modern double-glazed windows is essential to ensuring that your home is energy-efficient. Use a reputable company that has an excellent local reputation, such as Abelglass, a company that has successfully served the Fylde Coast and surrounding areas for many years.

At Abelglass, all of our window fitters are NVQ trained in Fenestration Installation & Glass Processing and we pride ourselves on our professionalism. Here atΒ Abelglass, we fit high-quality double-glazed windows that are fit-for-purpose as a long-term investment, and we also offer a ten-year guarantee for your added peace of mind.

Contact us today for more information about how we can provide you with the right products to meet your double-glazing requirements, and ensure that your home will be snug and secure for many more harsh winters.

What Is The Difference Between uPVC And Composite Doors?

What are uPVC doors?

Selecting the right type of door for your home can make a big difference. Today, both uPVC doors and composite doors are very popular and to choose the door that is just right for your home, you need to know the difference between the two. Here, at Abelglass, we have both types of doors. So, you can choose either, depending on your requirement.

PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is a chemical compound derived from chlorine, hydrogen and carbon. The “u” stands for un-plasticised, which means that chemicals known as plasticisers have not been added to the PVC to soften it.

uPVC doors are considered modern alternatives to wooden doors and are much cheaper than installing doors made from wood. Some of the characteristics of uPVC doors include:

  • These doors do not rot or decompose when exposed to water.
  • They are resistant to weathering.
  • They are low maintenance doors.
  • uPVC doors are tough and can withstand impact easily.
  • It does not warp or get out of shape due to varying temperatures.
  • uPVC can be reshaped at extremely high temperatures and, hence, are considered recyclable.
  • They are durable and sturdy, offering a sense of safety and security

What are Composite Doors?

As the name suggests, composite doors are made using a combination of materials to ensure that the resultant product has the beneficial properties of the materials. Usually, glass, wood, insulating foam, reinforced plastic and uPVC are used to make composite doors. These doors have the following characteristics:

  • Composite doors are resistant to weathering.
  • They maintain their shape and appearance in all weathers and temperatures; and do not warp, twist, dent or bow.
  • They are more energy efficient compared to wooden doors, as they have higher thermal resistance.
  • They are low maintenance doors and can be cleaned using a damp cloth.
  • They are available in a range of colours and finishes.
  • They are durable.

We, at Abelglass, realise the importance of choosing the right door. A door is the first line of defence against intruders and, hence, it should be sturdy and secure. This is exactly what you can expect from our uPVC and composite doors. Our wide range of uPVC and composite doors can suit anyone’s taste and budget. So, contact us today on 01253 893355 to experience our professional and reliable services, and get the perfect uPVC or composite door to match the architecture of your home.
