10 Signs Your Windows/Doors Needs Replacing

1. They're old

The service life of a properly maintained windows or door, regardless of material type is around 20 years.
If your windows and doors are hitting that milestone, they won’t deliver anywhere near the levels of thermal efficiency or security of today’s new energy efficient windows and doors and this could be costing you money.

2. They're damaged, warped or broken

This is an obvious sign that your windows at the very least need a little TLC, if not replacement. Even low maintenance PVC-U windows require a little oil and a wipe over now and again. Timber windows should be maintained regularly, including re-painting if frames are peeling.

3. They're letting in drafts and cold air

This is a major sign that your windows are not performing efficiently and it's time to start thinking about replacing them. If you have single pane glass then it's really worth upgrading to double glazing which will keep out more drafts and cold air so that your home can stay warmer for longer.
Double glazing can fail and become less efficient the older it is, if you can feel drafts around your window frames it could mean that a seal in or around the window has failed and is no longer working correctly.

4. Problems with condensation

Condensation is one of the most common problems that affects the performance of double glazing and it can cause real problems in your home.If you're noticing that condensation is gathering on the inside facing glass it suggests a ventilation issue and installing higher quality windows can help to reduce the condensation.
The biggest issue with condensation is when it forms between the two panes of glass; this shows that your double glazing has failed and it will not be keeping your home as warm as it should so will need to be replaced.

5. Your carpets/furniture are fading

Modern windows often come with built in UV protection which helps to block out the sun's incoming rays that can cause items within your home to fade. If you have single pane or older windows it's likely that they could causing damage to carpets, furniture, artwork and other surfaces by exposing your home to ultraviolet rays.

6. They don't open/close properly

Windows that are stiff and difficult to open or close can be really annoying and shows that your windows are not performing as well as they should be.
If your windows are shutting by themselves or sticking then it is worth thinking about getting them replaced as they can be a huge inconvenience as well as a health and safety hazard.

7. Your energy bills are high

Old or inefficient windows can have a significant impact on your home's insulation and can lead to high energy bills. The more heat that is able to escape your home the more you will be using your central heating to compensate.
You can check this by standing next to your windows and seeing if it feels cooler than the rest of the room. If the glass is cold to touch then it's highly likely you're wasting energy. You should also look for gaps in the frame.

8. Your home isn’t soundproof

Modern windows are designed to reduce sound transfer which can make a huge difference to your quality of life if you live near a busy road.
If you can clearly hear noise from outside when you stand inside and the window is shut, this is probably an indicator that your window is quite old.
So, if you want to enjoy the peace and quiet, new is the way to go. 

9. You don't have double glazing

Take a good look at your windows. If you've always wondered why your room is always too cold in winter and too hot when the sun is out, it may be that you actually have single pane rather than double-pane glass. These are often found in old properties and can make your home quite uncomfortable because they're simply not as effective or as efficient as a more modern, double-glazed window. Time to replace.

10. You have black mould growing

Rather than being the product of heat loss, black mould and mildew is in most cases caused by inadequate ventilation, particularly in those areas of the home, where air moisture content is high, for example kitchens and bathrooms.
Your existing windows may not be the sole cause of the problem but new windows with proper ventilation, can be part of the solution. These feature special trickle vents, which support the background circulation of air, even when windows are closed during winter.

What Are The Benefits? 

Replacing your single glazed windows with double glazed windows is an upgrade worth the spend. There are many benefits to installing double glazing. They include retaining heat, reducing noise pollution and improving the value of your home. Double glazed windows are fitted with an advanced locking system to keep your property safe and secure. It’s time to release your inner designer and give your home a fresh lease of life.

Maximise energy efficiency

New windows/doors can reduce wear on your boiler, helping you save money by improving your home’s energy efficiency. Energy efficient windows and doors help lower utility costs, protect the environment and enhance the overall comfort of your home.

Timber, aluminium, uPVC and composite windows and doors are all available in energy-efficient options. Timber is a natural material that has low conductivity, which means a wooden frame has very little heat transfer and is naturally insulating. Aluminium can withstand extreme fluctuations in temperature making them excellent choices for diverse climates. And uPVC/composite windows, comprised of multiple insulating air chambers, help keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Stay safe and secure

Windows that don't open easily or are painted shut are more than just an annoyance — they can be a safety hazard, for example when trying to escape during a fire. New operable timber, aluminium or uPVC windows will not only provide homeowners with the option of fresh air, but the improved functionality can benefit the safety of your family as well. Newer windows also feature enhanced security options, including up-to-date locks and security sensors, providing homeowners with additional peace of mind.

Front and back doors can be fitted with either a Yale or Ultion branded 3-star cylinder. These are rigorously tested against all known cylinder lock attack methods: Anti-pick, Anti-drill, Anti-bump and Anti-snap.
Entrance doors can come with shoot lock bolts that lock into place when you turn the handle, so when they’re shut and locked, you know your home is safe from unwelcome visitors.

Reduce noise pollution

Reduce the outside noise with double glazed windows. Double glazed windows are crafted from two panes of glass with a gap between. A-rated windows provide a sound protection level of 33db. If you live near a busy road or on a flight path, some windows offer a sound protection level of 39db, which may be more beneficial to you. Double glazed windows keep the street noise where it belongs.

Studies have shown that noise pollution can be harmful to our health. Luckily, new or replacement windows help combat that noise we live with every day by providing you with a more restful environment. Insulating frames can help reduce the noise from traffic, lawn mowers and barking dogs. That means fewer naptime interruptions and more peace and quiet for you.

Increased home value

It’s no surprise that there are costs associated with home improvement projects and upgrades, but homeowners can rest easy knowing that window and door replacement projects can have a big payoff. In fact, according to the Remodeling 2020 Cost vs. Value Report, new uPVC windows can return homeowners over 73% of the project cost upon resale.

Some prospective home buyers might turn away if they know a home’s windows or doors need to or are close to needing replacement. If you’re on the fence about updating the windows in your home, don’t wait until you’re ready to sell — enjoy the benefits of new windows while you are living there — and then enjoy the return in your investment.

Window Styles

There are eight main types of windows popular in the UK. Each available in different styles, materials and colours to perfectly suit your home.

Casement

The casement window is the oldest and most versatile style of frame in the UK.
Casement windows have a variety of options for configuration to suit most properties that can include single, double, triple (or more) panels. Depending on the size of the aperture.
Openers can be added to one side, both sides, top or full frame to offer different degrees of ventilation and the openers will shut with a tight seal for superior insulation and energy efficiency.
Casement windows suit most types of properties.




Tilt and Turn

The tilt and turn window became widely popular for uPVC double glazing when they were introduced in the eighties.
The major benefit of the tilt and turn is their ability to open in several directions and be securely left open on a tilt for ventilation.
Unlike the casement that opens outwards, the tilt and turn opens inwards and can be opened fully to allow for cleaning the external glass from inside a property. Perfect for windows on upper floors.
They have an incredibly snug seal when closed, making them one of the most energy efficient options of frame.
With a thick frame they are less suitable for period properties where they can look out of keeping with the aesthetic of the property. House builds from the 1960s onwards and apartment buildings work best with tilt and turn.

Sash

Often considered to be the most aesthetically pleasing window that can add significant value to a house.
The standard sash window has two framed panels that slide up and down crossing over. Upper floors must have restrictors fitted as a safety measure.
Unfortunately, old sash windows require significant maintenance and usually end up being painted shut in older houses. As the frames age, they create gaps that rattle in the wind and allow blasts of cold air. Cords become frayed and the sashes have to be propped open. Or, they become warped and stiff in the frames and can’t be pushed open.
Modern sash windows are constructed with spiral balances that allow easy opening and closing. Brushes that ensure a good seal when closed and can be double glazed for energy efficiency.
Well-fitted contemporary sash windows look stunning on a period property. Although they are an investment, they can make a property more desirable for sale.

Sliding

Instead of a traditional sash window opening vertically, a sliding window opens to the side, sliding horizontally. Imagine a mini patio door.
Sliding windows are usually made with a slimmer frame from aluminium which allows maximum glass area for a large bright window.
Perfect for the kitchen behind a sink where they can be easily reached to slide open. Also used for a kitchen window that opens onto a patio or terrace to allow for serving.
Sliding windows suit contemporary builds; especially for architecturally designed sleek homes. The use of large sliding windows and doors can open up spaces to the outside. For other traditional properties, one window might be installed in the rear kitchen but not used as a full set on the property.




Bow

A bay window and bow window are similar and often confused. The clear difference between them is that for a bay window the base wall brickwork is also extended. A bow window unit projects from the room and ‘floats’ without the wall underneath.
Sometimes called a garden window, these bright spaces can have a shelf to grow plants or to just create an illusion of space.
Bow windows can be made up of several windows to create a curved effect and flood light into a room. At the front of property, they can take advantage of panoramic views or allow more visibility on a street.
Bow windows don’t require any building work to the base of the window or need planning permission.



Bay

A bay window projects out from the exterior wall line and extends to the floor.
Many Victorian and Edwardian houses feature bay windows as a focal point for the living room at the front of the house. Houses at the coast also benefit from the extra panoramic views from the projecting window.
They were designed as an ornamental feature, but also practically, to allow more ventilation from open windows on the sides that could capture more airflow into a room.
Bay windows can flood extra light into a room and are perfect as reading spaces to benefit from the light behind.
Because of the projection from the wall, a bay window is considered an extension. A replacement bay window or built at the back of a property is allowed under permitted development, but for a new window at the front of a property, it will require planning permission.

Skylight

There are two types of window you can have in a roof:
A dormer is a box protruding from the main roof, with its own roof. This creates more space in the room and the dormer creates more headroom for standing at the window.
Any type of small window can be fitted in the dormer window space.

A Skylight is flush into the angled roof and doesn’t protrude from the angle of the roof. Used in extensions such as kitchens, or dining rooms, the skylight can flood a room with light from an angled ceiling.
A skylight is a specific type of window that will fit into the roof and opens on a cantilever.

A series of skylights in an extension can offer maximum light into the room whilst retaining some insulation that a fully glazed roof would lack.
Skylights are more often used in contemporary builds or conversions whilst dormer windows look more traditional.

Transom

A transom is the beam across the top of a door that separates it from the glass above. Hence, the transom window, also known as a fanlight.
Traditionally, transom windows were used above internal doors as a form of air conditioning in the home. The transom window opened above the door to create draw from a fireplace to move warmth to rooms upstairs. In summer, the front and back transom windows were opened to create air circulation to keep the house cool.
Fanlight windows were usually decorative featuring coloured glass and most often featured a sunburst pattern.








Frame Materials

Apart from style of frame, there are three main types of window frame material that you can choose from:
Unplasticised Poly Vinyl Chloride, otherwise known as uPVC, has been the most popular choice for window frames since it was introduced in the late seventies, early eighties.

uPVC is low maintenance, energy-efficient and secure. It’s a durable material but low-quality white uPVC can stain if it's not cleaned properly.

uPVC windows are available in a wide range of colours and can have a textured wood-effect finish.



Aluminium allows for a much slimmer frame offering sleek styling. The slim style allows for a much larger glazed area with the appearance of a bigger window.

Often fitted on modern style builds because of their contemporary sleeker styling. The metal frame is not as energy efficient as uPVC but an aluminium window is very durable for a long-term investment.






Timber is a premium cost compared to other options but what you get is the unrivalled aesthetic of a beautiful wooden frame. For period properties, timber windows are often the only choice you should consider to be in keeping with the style of the property and to add value.

Timber is the most high-maintenance material, but quality hardwood that is looked after will have one of the longest lifespans of all materials.

Some properties in conservation areas and listed buildings will stipulate that you can only have timber frames. Always check before you replace windows.

Other French front and back doors include uPVC french doors, an affordable option that’s easy to maintain. Or consider grey french doors that suit homes with monochromatic interiors.

Sliding

Sliding patio doors are usually made of two large glass panels, and they are opened by sliding one panel behind the other. Sliding doors provide easy access to the outdoors and usually open out onto the garden or patio. The double-glazed glass panes let plenty of light into your home and create a feeling of space.

The difference between external sliding patio doors and other types of patio doors is the sliding mechanism. Bifold doors slide too, but their panels also fold away. French doors are another type of patio door that open using a hinge mechanism rather than sliding. 

Sliding exterior doors are a great choice for small homes and gardens as they don't open outwards. This means you can put furniture close to them without obstructing the opening, because the glass panes tuck neatly together when the doors are open.

Door Materials

Apart from style of door, there are four main types of material that you can choose from:
Composite doors bring together the traditional, high-end look of a hardwood door with an insulating interior made of different materials including wood, uPVC, foam insulation and steel reinforcement. These durable internal materials are what gives a composite door its name.




With a uPVC door you get high quality, at a reasonable price. uPVC exterior doors are strong, hard wearing and durable, making them extremely secure. uPVC is easy to maintain, will not rot or rust and it's built to withstand the British weather, so you get a door that will last for years. So, whether it’s entrance, patio or French, each door is custom-made to suit your requirements, from colour and design to glass and accessories.
Aluminium doors have slim frames and a larger glass surface, letting more natural light flood into your home. With aluminium you get high-end styling and a practical, low maintenance material that is weather-resistant, easy to clean and will never rust, peel or flake. Entrance, bi-fold, patio and French doors are all available in aluminium with a range of contemporary colours to give your home a sophisticated, modern style.
Whether you choose an external wooden front door, wooden back door or timber French doors, nothing makes a more natural and elegant statement than the classic beauty of timber. Offering character, durability and energy efficiency, wooden doors are available in sustainably sourced hardwood or softwood and can be laminated for added strength.


Exterior Door Styles

Give your home a standout new look with designs to suit every property. There’s hundreds of colours, handles and accessories to choose from, the only limit is your imagination.

Entrance

Add kerb appeal with a range of front and back doors. Composite doors are coated with reinforced fibreglass for increased insulation to reduce your energy bills. Equipped to handle your daily comings and goings without the risk of warping, shrinking, denting, or rusting, composite doors have toughened glass for a durable life.

Choose from a wide variety of designs, from a classic panelled oak door to minimal glass styles. Colours range from traditional black, modern grey, green, and more.
If you’re looking to brighten up your hallway, a uPVC front door with glass side openings lets in plenty of natural light, whilst maintaining your privacy with opaque glass.

There's a large amount of colours, handles and accessories to choose from, including decorative glass doors. The only limit is your imagination.

Security comes as standard, including a multi-point locking system, offering the ultimate in locking protection.

Bifold

Bi-fold doors are typically a set of 2 or more standard size glass doors that open in a concertina style and neatly fold flat when open. Unlike a sliding patio door, that remains only half open, Bi-fold doors fully open to seamlessly connect your living space with your terrace, patio or garden.

Bifold Patio doors are a beautiful and contemporary addition to any home. Add floods of natural light to your living space with these aesthetically exciting sliding doors. You can also improve security and access when you fit Bifold doors in your kitchen or downstairs living space.

These beautiful doors fold open to create a large entryway between the inside of your house and your garden. Bring sunny days into your home with wooden, silver, or white bifold doors, ideal for busy and style-conscious households alike. Complete the look and prevent streaking with external door canopies.

French

Create a light and airy segue from home to garden with astonishing French doors. Your external doors don’t need to protect your privacy to the same extent as the front door, thanks to your garden and exterior fencing. Instead, French doors are an attractive option to create the illusion of more space in the home.

There’s a wide variety of French patio doors available on the market to suit your personal taste, like aluminium french doors or wooden french doors. Contemporary aluminium french doors complement modern interiors and are designed to be energy efficient. If you prefer a more bohemian look, timber french doors are a classic but stylish design.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I choose Eco Home Grants?
Choosing the right energy solutions for your property, finding the most trusted suppliers, opting for the best deals to fund your investment – we understand how difficult the process can be. Our expert consultants keep things SIMPLE, we have many years’ experience in this industry and do all the hard work for you with our personable and bespoke service.
Are your suppliers trusted?
Most renewable companies in the UK are large scale direct marketing companies that treat people as a one shoe fits all scenario and then they sub-contract work to installation companies as they are focused on hard sales. That is fine if you like that sort of approach, however in our opinion, this can, and does lead to lower quality control and this is where many people have been caught out.
Energy Home Grants have something greater to offer their clients by working with authentic, highly skilled engineers, plumbers & electricians who have been highly trained and vetted for their outstanding quality work. All agreed contracts/work are first independently validated and certified for the best possible achieved standards before any work is started. You will also receive a certificate of compliance showing this to be the case.
Why should I make my property more energy efficient?
The more energy-efficient your home is, the less energy you use. This means you will save money on your energy bills while reducing your carbon footprint - helping to reduce the impact on the environment.
What funding options are available?
We work closely with all grant providers and can often offer excellent self-funded solutions as well as heavily subsidised funding towards the cost of any particular measure your home would benefit from. Sometimes this will depend on certain eligibility criteria.
Which energy solution should I choose?
We can help! All homes are unique in their age, build form and general fabric so we understand the varying requirements a particular property requires. By having this understanding along with many years of experience, we are able to match the measures and materials which will maximise your homes potential for optimum energy efficiency.
