What To Look For In a New Window
If you think of windows are just essential boxes to be checked off when approaching a house build... think again!
It’s true that no house would be complete without windows. They are an essential feature to facilitate natural light, and provide gateways for occupants to enjoy scenery from various viewpoints.
From a practical perspective, windows also serve to keep homes well ventilated and prevent homes from feeling stuffy or looking dreary.
The Benefits of a Quality Window
In recent years, homeowners are beginning to recognise how important it is to select windows that add value to their home. A good window will offer the occupants:
- Security
- Value
- Protection against draughts
- Efficient insulation
- Reliable Ventilation
- Enhanced visual appeal
What Should I Look For?
To drill it down to the basics, there are some seals of approval you should look for when picking out your new windows. It’s a balance between picking something high quality, with an aesthetic that will compliment your building:
- A Rating Standard - By installing A Rated Windows, the average UK home could save money on their fuel bills, and save as much as 1704kg of CO2 per year, the equivalent of taking a Ford Mondeo off the road for a year!
- Thorough Window Testing - In the Highlands, we need windows that can handle some tough conditions. Our windows are BS7412 (Wind and Water penetration) and BS7412/PAS24 (Enhanced Security) and are marked using the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system.
- Rating from BFRC – When making a big investment, it’s important to look for the right endorsement. That’s why we’re proud to have a highly sought accreditation by BFRC under our belt!
