As spring comes around once more, many people are considering freshening up their home by installing a brand-new set of windows in their property.
Maybe you have been planning all winter for the changes you want to make once the weather improves and it is finally time to get those shiny new windows you are after, or perhaps you are still deciding if this is an investment worth making.
Before you make any final decision there are both benefits and limitations to springtime window replacement that you should take into account.
Pros of Spring Window Installation
Spring is by far the most popular time to have new windows installed and our expert technicians are kept extremely busy all season installing top-of-the-range double and triple glazed uPVC windows for customers across Scotland.
Just some of the reasons spring is a great time to have new windows installed include:
Freshening up your home
A thorough spring clean is nice, but nothing will freshen up your home quite like a brand new set of shiny windows.
With fantastic curb appeal, loads of natural light, and a uPVC frame that can be customised to suit whatever style you are going for, your home will look and feel great, starting the spring season off in style.
Easy Installation
As the days grow longer and the clocks move forward, spring offers more daylight hours for window installation.
This means that professional window installers will have your new windows installed in no time at all.
The low humidity and usually mild temperatures of this time of year are also conducive to easy installation and there really is no better time for stress-free, seamless window installation.
Temperature Control
Inefficient windows are now only a nightmare during the winter, where single glazed and poorly installed windows will seriously compromise your insulation, leaking heat and leading to higher energy bills, but will also make keeping your home cool in summer a complete nightmare.
Rather than continuing to use fans, portable air conditioning units, or similar to attempt to cool your home down, which can be extremely costly in terms of electricity consumption, modern windows are excellent at preventing heat transfer, keeping your home nice and cool in the summer and keeping heat in your home for longer when temperatures drop.
This means that although the initial installation of double or triple-glazing is still a significant investment, reduced energy bills over the life-span of the windows will repay your expenditure several times over.
Air out your home
Over the winter where regularly airing your home is challenging due to the inclement weather and low temperatures, there will have been a build up of dust, pollutants, and allergens in your home.
This can result in health problems such as asthma attacks and allergic reactions if left untreated.
As part of a good spring clean to get rid of such pollutants, and keep your home safe and healthy, opening up your windows on a regular basis is a good idea.
This is difficult, however, if your windows are stuck shut or difficult to open fully.
We have a huge range of easy to operate windows that open in a number of ways, including:
- Casement windows
- Tilt and turn windows
- French windows
- Top-Hung windows
This selection means that whatever the location of your home, windows, we have an option that can easily be opened to allow fresh spring air to blow away the remnants of a damp musty winter.
Cons of spring window installation
Spring is the ideal time to install new windows in your home but as with any time of year, there are some seasonal issues to consider.
Weather
Whilst spring usually offers the perfect conditions for window installation, nothing is ever guaranteed (especially in Scotland).
Our technicians are able to install Double Glazing Edinburgh windows in almost all conditions or seasons, but if snow, torrential rain, or high winds do occur, your spring installation may take slightly longer than it would otherwise.
