It is a fairly common fact that many homeowners in Exeter and across the UK are worried that they have little or no option but to replace single-glazed windows with contemporary double glazed window units if they are wishing to improve their home’s energy efficiency.
The good news is that old wooden windows can be upgraded to improve their overall efficiency and, in the vast majority of cases, match or exceed the rigid requirements of building regulations.
It's worthwhile to invest in upgrading your wooden windows
Due to their ability of saving energy that would otherwise be consumed in manufacturing new windows, old single glazed windows with their original plain glass can contribute immeasurably to the allure and special interest of a building.
Thankfully, the single glazing of older style windows do not rely on seals that can fail quickly, causing the windows to misting up and therefore mean that in many cases older timber windows can be readily repaired.
Furthermore, the timber used for old wooden window frames is often far better than the wood used in new, modern windows as older frames would have been dried naturally over a longer period of time to ensure it lasted for many years to come. Its superior quality speaks volumes and is testament to the craftsmanship demonstrated from bygone years.
Nowadays, the use of uPVC as a substitute window frame material is rarely as low maintenance and hassle free as it is meant to be. Visit a local store and you will discover for yourself the vast array of purpose made paints for improving the look of your uPVC wooden window frames. This fact alone highlights how modern uPVC windows' appearance deteriorates with age while the beauty and class of wooden windows is unquestionable. |
