With many of us not able to go away on holiday this year, we are turning our attentions to home improvements. Being at home for a long time has drawn many peoples attention to things that they would like to improve in the home, and rather than spending money on a big family holiday, 2020 is looking to be the year that we all made our homes a little more comfortable to spend time in.
From big garden overhauls, to a new splash of paint on the interior walls, up and down the country people have been making the most of their time at home. One of the many improvements that we can make to our home is new windows and companies such as these glass suppliers Bristol have been busily replacing windows – but how can you tell if you need new windows?
You are Losing Heat – A tell-tale sign of being in need of new windows is if you sit near a window and feel a draft, it probably needs to be replaced. Not only will you feel warmer in the home, but you will find that your heating bills are much lower if you have windows that don’t let as much heat out.
You Feel Unsafe – If you have problems opening or closing windows, even in the upper floors of the home, you could have a big problem with home safety. Opportunistic burglars are always on the lookout for any potential weaknesses in doors and windows, so if the window feels loose or insecure this is definitely a safety risk and a sign that you need new windows.
