Torquay Homes: Different types of glazing

When you're upgrading windows, different glazing styles are on offer, such as stained glass, etched glass and frosted glass. Etched and frosted windows are popular windows for WCs, shower rooms and bathrooms where privacy is required. Glass with decorative designs such as stained glass and leading, either as a top light design or for full length panels, can be an effective addition to glazing in door panels and windows. Old properties such as listed buildings generally require replacement replicas of the original old windows to be created when new windows are being fitted as part of a renovation project to ensure the property's character is not lost.

Window choices for Torquay Homes

The first selection when you're replacing old windows or fitting windows in an extension or self build building project, is what type of windows to purchase. The most commonly used type of windows is casement windows, available in a variety of models including side and top hung, and top vents can also be included for ventilation. Other alternatives include sash windows. Sash windows are generally of wood construction which can be stained or painted to co-ordinate with interior wood work or other outdoor wooden surfaces. Increased ventilation can be provided with French windows which are like a dual door set where both windows open, whilst twist-turn windows allow you to open them a small amount, making them flexible, or they can be rotated 180 degrees which makes them easy to clean. Matching window boards and cills can be fitted to co-ordinate with uPVC windows and they have the added benefit of not needing regular maintenance and varnishing.

Different types of exterior doors for Torquay Homes

You will have a large selection of types of external doors to choose out of when you're replacing old existing doors or you are installing new doors on a new build, conversion or extension. If you want doors to open onto a patio, terrace or garden, options you may like include patio doors, uPVC or wooden French doors or folding doors. When replacing front or back doors or building porches, composite doors can be a popular alternative to solid wood, especially considering their higher energy efficiency. A uPVC door is another type of exterior door to consider, which comes in various finishes which include white, oak veneer and walnut. Doors made from uPVC usually feature 7, 5 or 3 lever mortice locks and therefore tend to be popular due to increased security compared to wood doors that have locks with single points.

Torquay Conservatory: Different types of conservatories

If you're short on space in your home and need extra living accommodation, an orangery, conservatory or sun room could provide the space you need. Conservatories can be made to measure providing a bespoke multi-functional room suitable for use as living or dining rooms, or to unwind in the evening after a hard day in the office. Sun rooms and orangeries can also be included in a property design as a kitchen, atrium, hallway or general living area that provides large amounts of natural light and an airy space and enables you to enjoy the warmth of winter sun when it's cold outdoors.

Increasing your home's energy efficiency

Replacing old doors and windows is a practical way to improve a house's energy efficiency by reducing the amount of drafts and providing an insulating barrier between your home and the outside. A particularly effective method of improving your home is single glazed window upgrading and fitting double glazed panes, or even triple glazing if your budget allows. Improvements in window technology means that seals are better and glass is also of a higher standard of quality, making heat loss lower. Heat also escaped around exterior doors, so to save energy and reduce household bills, it's worth replacing your outside doors. Conservatories can act like barriers between your home and cold air outside, and building porches can do the same at the front of your property, insulating your property and preventing heat loss, therefore cutting heating bills. To get the most benefit from constructing these property extensions, however, choosing high quality glass for doors and windows is recommended.
