Our Neighbours Have Just Replaced Their Existing uPVC Windows - What Are The Benefits?There are three good reasons why your neighbours chose to change their existing uPVC windows. The uPVC industry has come a long way in respect of design and can compete extremely favourably with the aesthetic quality of wooden windows but without the disadvantages. Years ago, when uPVC windows were first fitted, yes, they did the job. They replaced tired, old wooden windows with something that was unique and exciting and required only the minimum amount of maintenance. So credit where it was due they did the job superbly well. FIRST - I BET THEY LOOK FANTASTIC Your neighbours will have been offered a huge amount of choice in respect of design. Times have moved on and there is now so much more choice available in respect of the design element, uPVC colours, pattern glass choices, handle colours. SECONDLY - THEY WILL FEEL SO MUCH MORE SECURE Security is a very important issue - more especially with credit crunch burglaries to worry about. As with any forward thinking industry, the security aspect of uPVC windows and doors has improved upon considerably. As standard, reputable double glazing companies should be offering no less than espagnolette and shootbolt locking systems and internally glazed frames. THIRDLY - THEY WILL SAVE MONEY ON THEIR HEATING BILLS & ALSO MAKE A SIZEABLE CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS SAVING THE PLANET With the growing awareness of climate change and spiralling fuel bills it makes sense to upgrade your existing windows and doors to energy efficient replacement windows and doors to at least a C rating. This will not only protect the planet but will also save money on heating bills. Are there any security suggestions that you can make to help homeowners during the credit crunch? There are obvious security solutions to protect your home from CREDIT CRUNCH BURGLARIES. The HOME OFFICE campaign has been designed to raise the awareness of homeowners in respect of how to protect themselves and their homes. One particular area that’s been overlooked is the back door. The back door is often the one of the most vulnerable and least secure way into a home. Most burglary attempts are through the more secluded back entrances around the back or side of the property. It’s understandable that more attention is paid to the FRONT DOOR as more people will get to see it but security shouldn’t be sacrificed on any entrance. LINCOLNSHIRE continues to be a low risk area in respect of crime but while the credit crunch bites NOW maybe a good time to consider an alternative to the traditional glass top and panel bottom style of door and a good choice would be a composite door. Give us a call - instant prices are available for composite doors and other security features. Vantage Windows & Conservatories would hate to think that you'd become a Home Office Statistic.. |
