Save Your Pennies By Double Glazing Your Cumbrian Home

Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert  |  Leave a Comment >>

Buying and then running and maintaining your own home is a very expensive business. Due to the ever-rising cost of household fuel one of the biggest outgoings for many people are the cost of their energy bills. Every single energy supplier in the UK has raised their prices at some point over the past 12 months and despite recent cuts, that upward trend is set to continue in future years.

The financial burden that homeowners have to shoulder with regards the cost of fuel can be reduced when they purchase double glazing in Sheffield. A double glazed window is efficient when it comes to ensuring that energy is used successfully and is wasted as little as possible.

This is the main issue with a single glazed window as it is simply unable to prevent heat from escaping and therefore results in your energy bills being more…

Planet Windows & Doors Launch New Animated TV Campaign

Author: Steven  |  Leave a Comment >>

Cumbrian home improvement experts Planet have launched a brand new TV advertising campaign in time for winter to help them capitalise on the growing demand for windows from consumers.

The ad, produced by Plymouth creative agency Marett, cleverly combines and reworks the classic Goldilocks and Three Little Pigs fairy tales in 3D and brings them together to highlight how double glazing in Cumbria can add much-needed security to a home.

Minus the Three Bears and the Wolf, the narrative of the advert shows Goldilocks coming across the Three Little Pigs home in her search for porridge. However, her attempts to break into the home of the Three Little Pigs home via the windows proves to be unsuccessful as their new Planet Windows manage to stay firm in the face of adversity.

Planet, who also specialise in manufacturing and fitting conservatories in Lancashire, believed that a an entirely new…

Cheaper Energy Best Secured With Double Glazing In Cumbria

Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert  |  Leave a Comment >>

An investigation conducted by consumer body Which? has found that each of the big six energy companies are failing to offer customers their cheapest available tariffs. This is usually because workers at each of the energy providers tend to fail to understand which the best deal is for customers.

Homeowners are widely encouraged to shop around for cheap energy tariffs by the government and other energy-related bodies, but this news will hardly fill them with confidence. However, those who tend to have to do this are those who have yet to realise the potential of double glazing in Cumbria.

They need to come to terms with the fact that traditional windows are simply ill-equipped to deal with cold weather and more often than not allow to creep into the home. This is because both the glass and frame are poor at insulating heat and tend to…

Forget The Cold With Double Glazing In Cumbria

Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert  |  Leave a Comment >>

The last couple of winters have been amongst some of the coldest on record and forecasters are predicting a similar scenario for 2011. This is bad news for those who are already struggling to meet the cost of energy and who live in homes suffering with draughts. They will no doubt have to heavily rely on their heating this winter, whereas those with double glazing will have no such problems.

Double glazing in Cumbria is more than essential during the coldest months of the year as it works to ensure that homes stay warm throughout the winter. It can also make sure that heating costs do not spiral out of control as it affords you the opportunity to rely on your boiler far less often that you would do if you were to only have single glazed windows installed.

25% of heat is lost through poorly insulated windows. There will…

Clean Up The Region With Double Glazing In Cumbria

Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert  |  Leave a Comment >>

The planet is under threat from global warming and anyone who refuses to acknowledge it is in denial as it is a serious threat to us all, not just locally, but worldwide. Part of the reason why it has become a growing concern is because of the over reliance on conventional fossil fuels as the burning of them is extremely damaging.

One of the most common causes of energy wastage is windows. Old windows are poor at storing hot air and regularly allow it to escape into the outdoor air. To compensate for this, homeowners look to turn their heating up further which increases the amount of damage done to the environment and the cost of their energy bills.

We all need to be contributing towards a greener environment and you can do your bit by becoming one of the many people looking to install double

Double Glazing In Cumbria Makes Condensation Vanish

Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert  |  Leave a Comment >>

When condensation appears on the surface of your windows first thing in the morning it can be very unsightly and will spoil both the interior and exterior of your property. Condensation occurs where moist air comes into contact with air or a surface and generally happens during the winter months of the year. It also typically happens to single a glazed window which is why it makes sense to have them replaced with double glazing.

Condensation can also occur when you have double glazing in Cumbria fitted but only when it has been installed incorrectly and poorly. Once you have double glazing installed it should immediately wipe away the effects of condensation that you will have been greeted with when you opened your curtains previously.
