Now the colder weather has arrived, keeping your home warm and energy efficient has become a top priority. We offer a range of products to help reduce energy loss and save on heating costs, so your home stays comfortable and cosy throughout the colder months.
Winter weatherproofing essentials
Cold weather can expose gaps and weaknesses in your home’s insulation, which can lead to draughts, cold spots and soaring heating bills. Weatherproofing your home for winter is the best way to avoid these issues. Some simple ways to weatherproof your home include sealing gaps around windows and doors with weatherstripping or caulk, or improving the insulation of your current windows with a DIY window film kit. However, the best way to weatherproof your home is by investing in energy efficient doors or windows.
A typical home can lose around 20-25% of heat through its windows and doors. Whether you’re thinking about replacing your front door or upgrading your windows, at K Glazing, we have a wide range of options available, including composite doors, aluminium entrance doors and PVCu residential doors, as well as a variety of PVCu and aluminium windows, so you’re sure to find the perfect product for your home.
Energy ratings and reducing heating bills
When choosing windows and doors, it’s important to look for products with high energy ratings. Energy-efficient windows, like our uPVC double glazed windows and aluminium double glazed windows, are designed to prevent heat from escaping. When looking for energy efficient windows and doors, make sure to choose products with low U-values and window energy ratings (WERs) of A and above. A U-value is a measure of how easily heat passes through a material. The lower the number, the more energy efficient the product is. WERs are rated on a scale from A++ to G (A++ being the highest). They provide an outline of how energy efficient a window is. By installing energy efficient windows and doors, you can significantly reduce your heating bills, while also making your home more comfortable.
Install a new front door for better insulation
If you’re still using an older or poorly insulated front door, you may be losing a significant amount of heat from your home. Installing a new front door can make a big difference in preventing heat loss and improving your home’s overall energy efficiency.
At K Glazing, we offer a variety of doors suitable for the entrance of your home. Whether you’re after aluminium entrance doors, composite doors or PVCu residential doors, we can help find your new front door!
Our aluminium doors come with advanced thermal breaks and insulated glass, perfect for reducing energy costs and keeping your home warm in winter. Composite doors from K Glazing feature 44mm or 48mm thick panels which retain heat and block out the cold. Create a visually appealing entrance for your home by choosing double or triple glazing for your composite door. PVCu residential doors have excellent insulation properties. Equipped with multi-chambered frames, these doors can trap air, reducing heat transfer, which in turn, minimises energy loss. All our entrance doors can have double or triple glazing to provide additional layers of insulation, keeping indoor temperatures stable.
Upgrading to a new front door is not just about energy efficiency—it can dramatically improve your home’s security and kerb appeal, whilst also saving you money in the long run. By making these changes now, you can weatherproof your home for winter and enjoy a more comfortable living environment all year round.
Double glazed and triple glazed windows
At K Glazing, we offer double glazing and triple glazing for our uPVC and aluminium windows. Double glazing consists of two panes of glass with an insulating gap in between, reducing heat transfer and keeping your home warmer. This not only helps you save on heating bills but also keeps your home at a comfortable temperature by eliminating draughts. For even better insulation, triple glazed windows have three panes of glass, providing excellent energy efficiency, making it perfect for homes in colder climates like Yorkshire, and if you live in a noisy location, they will make your home quieter.
Both double and triple glazing options are available across K Glazing’s range of uPVC and aluminium windows. Our aluminium windows have advanced thermal break technology, helping reduce heat transfer and improve insulation. When combined with double or triple glazing, these windows can significantly reduce your energy bills. uPVC windows from K Glazing offer energy ratings of A as standard, keeping your home comfortable all year round.
If you’re upgrading from old and poorly insulated windows, installing new aluminium or uPVC double or triple glazed windows will help you weatherproof your home in time for winter.
