Cleaning your windows in the winter seems an inconvenience, and for many of us this task is put at the back of our minds or not even acknowledged. However, if maintained you will see a long term difference and you’ll never make the mistake of ignoring this chore.
Hire A Professional
If you want the best outcome, whether your windows are fairly clean or not, hiring a professional will make a huge difference. With a professional coming on a regular basis during the winter, they will make sure your windows are kept clean and intact with specialised equipment. Any problems that may arise will be recognised and feedback and advice will be given to help avoid unnecessary spending in the long term. Windows are not cheap and looking after them will save you a great deal of money.
Heat Loss
Having the wrong windows will not only keep the heat out thus energy bills increasing. There are many choices available with different properties offered from windows so doing full research will help tremendously. Double glazed windows fitted all over your home will save energy by keeping the heat. This is done by 2 to 3 sheets of glass with a layer of inert glass in between. Therefore it may be cost effective to install more energy efficient windows.
Improve Existing Windows
Changing windows can seem a hassle but purchasing the right one will help. For whatever reason, whether its money or you just like the windows you currently have, there are many ways to improve the energy efficiency. This is vital for the winter time. This can be done by adding storm windows and caulking. These will help reduce air leakage.
Reduce Draft
By placing a clear plastic sheet on the frame or even taping one will reduce draft. Closing your curtains in the evening will also help deal with draft.
Natural Daylight
During the winter times, if you have large windows allow the sun light to come through, this will help increase energy.
