This guide will help you get your windows, doors, and conservatories prepared for the warmer months ahead.
As summer approaches, now is the time to get your home summer-ready - not only for comfort, but for energy savings, security, and style. From windows and doors to conservatories and conservatory roofs, here at Homecare Exteriors, we can help you make sure everything is working as well as it should:
High-Performance Windows and Doors
Ensuring your windows and doors function to the best possible standard is essential for the summer months. Replacing faulty or poorly performing windows and doors is crucial for saving on energy costs, improving ventilation, and ensuring security within the Sussex home.Windows
- Aluminium Casement Windows: uPVC and aluminium casement windows are a classic option for homeowners in Polegate and the surrounding areas. These windows are ideal for the warmer weather as they can open outwards slightly or entirely, for airflow control. This avoids the need for fans and air conditioning, which can be costly in the long run.
- uPVC Sliding Sash Windows: uPVC sliding sash windows are excellent for temperature regulation, as they feature large panes that can be easily slid open. They offer superior ventilation compared to other window styles, whilst being architecturally appealing, which is a plus! They are often found in period properties, but can also suit modern homes.
- uPVC Bay and Bow Windows: Bow and bay windows are known for their beautiful aesthetic. They protrude outward from the property in either an angular or semi-circle shape, creating a cove within the property. The shape offers expansive views and an abundance of natural light, allowing the property to enter. This makes them a worthwhile investment for the summer.
Doors
- Aluminium Bifold Doors: At Homecare Exteriors, we offer a range of high-quality aluminium bifold doors by ALuK to elevate your space. These doors feature slimline frames and large glass panels for unobstructed views into your outside space. Our folding doors can be installed with low thresholds, so you and your family can enjoy a seamless transition from your home to the garden during the summer.
- uPVC Patio Doors: Patio doors or sliding doors are a brilliant way to maximise your space during the summer. They typically feature a fixed panel and a sliding panel that offers ventilation and access to the outside space. Sliding doors are especially useful in small spaces where there is a lack of space for a door to swing out, so you can still enjoy your garden!
Maximise Comfort with a Conservatory This Summer
Conservatories are mostly glazed structures that can perform a range of functions. Their many glass panels allow for increased light, opening up the space within the home during the summer months.- Victorian Conservatory: Victorian conservatories provide large glass panels and typically a glazed pitched roof. This floods the space with light and is perfect for relaxing during the summer months. Combining a Victorian conservatory with casement windows and French doors, this space will offer a bright and airy area for you and your guests to enjoy.
- Edwardian Conservatory: These conservatories are one of our most popular choices here at Homecare Exteriors. This is because they offer a sleek, symmetrical look to upgrade the aesthetic of your home. Their square or rectangular design allows them to be versatile and perform a range of functions. An Edwardian conservatory can act as an office, a living area, or a sunroom to enjoy the warm weather.
- Bespoke Conservatory: At Homecare Exteriors, we want your vision to come to life, which is why we offer bespoke conservatories. These are built custom to your needs and can feature P-shaped or T-shaped conservatories. Choosing a bespoke conservatory can enhance your summer by providing ample extra space for entertaining, or opting for large glass panels to maximise the benefits of the summer sun.
- Conservatory Roof Replacement: Replacing an existing conservatory roof is a great way of preparing your home this summer. Older roofs lack insulation, meaning it can be too cold in the winter but too warm in the summer. We offer both solid and tiled conservatories to ensure you maintain a comfortable environment all year round. Solid conservatory roofs feature tiled panels on a lightweight structure that increase strength and durability. Tiled conservatory roofs are popular amongst homeowners in Polegate, Eastbourne, Kent, and the surrounding areas. This is because they have insulating clay or concrete tiles, so keep your home nice and cool during the summer.
