Upgrading Your Property Value: A Window and Door Specialist's Perspective

With many years of home improvement experience, we've seen firsthand how simple upgrades can significantly boost property prices. One of the most impactful and cost-effective investments homeowners can make is high-quality, energy-saving uPVC windows and composite doors. Compared to traditional wooden windows and doors, these solutions blend aesthetics, functionality, and durability, thus increasing appeal to buyers and evaluators.

The Financial Impact of Window and Door Upgrades

Are you thinking of selling your home? Homes with energy-efficient windows command a higher price than those without, and most buyers prefer to pay the extra cost at the point of sale rather than investing time and money in costly renovations once they've moved in.

Inadequate windows and doors can reduce the value of your home and add up to £215 to your annual energy bills. The average homeowner spends approximately seven years in their property before moving, translating to an additional £1,500 burden in a low-energy-efficiency home.

How Do I Check My Windows and Doors?

Windows

Energy-efficient glazing minimises heat loss through windows; it also reduces noise and the build-up of condensation.

The most energy-efficient windows are either double or triple-glazed. To check this, take a look at your windows. They're double-glazed if they have two sheets of glass with around a 16mm gap in between. If there are three sheets of glass and two gaps, they're triple-glazed.

If you still have old, single-glazed windows, contact our experts today to discuss replacement. Here at Spectrum Window and Door Maintenance, we stock and install high-quality, double-glazed uPVC windows suitable for your home or business premises.

Doors

Similarly to windows, your doors can also impact your home's energy efficiency.

If you want to minimise heat loss and increase your home's curb appeal, a composite door is an excellent choice. Composite doors are made from several materials, including wood, plastic, metal, and insulating foam, and they tend to have a high R-value—this makes them a great choice for the home.

To check whether you have a composite door in your home, look for a wood-like appearance that feels solid and substantial. The door itself will be heavier than a wood or uPVC door.

Contact our window and door specialists today to learn how upgrading to a composite door could benefit you.
