Draughty Windows Are Costing Colchester Homes
Old windows rarely fail all at once. Seals tire, frames move, gaskets shrink and glass units lose their performance. The result creeps up on you: cold spots by the sofa, curtains that twitch with the window shut, and a heating system working overtime to keep up.
Condensation is another warning sign. When the inside of the glass is much colder than the room, moisture settles on it, and over time that can mean damp sills, mould in the corners and peeling paint. If the misting is between the panes, the sealed unit itself has failed. We explain that in our guide to misted double glazing.
Modern windows tackle all of this at the source. Every Eco window comes at a 1.2 U-value as standard, better than the 1.4 the law requires. A lower U-value means less heat escaping through the window, which means warmer rooms and a heating system that does not have to work so hard.
We fit quality Eurocell and GAP products, chosen because they look right, perform well and last.
Style matters too. Colchester has everything from Victorian terraces to new-build estates, and the right window should suit the house, not fight it. We fit casement, flush sash and aluminium windows, in a range of colours and finishes, and we will help you choose what looks best on your home and works best for the way you live.
New windows also make a home feel more cared for. Fresh frames, crisp sightlines and clear glass lift the whole front of a property, which is worth remembering if you plan to sell in the next few years.
