Winter weatherproofing with Framexpress

There are many great things about the winter…Those crisp, bright mornings, Christmas cheer and a roaring fire are all very appealing, however, the weather can be a problem for many homeowners. It can not only be a cause for a cold home, but it can also create significant damage to the features of a property as well, which is why installing uPVC windows and composite doors is the perfect solution.

Weatherproofing with composite doors

There are many different ways to keep a property warm and safe during the winter, but one of the most effective is by installing a composite door. These are made from a mix of different materials, including a high-density insulated core to help provide durability, warmth and security. The outer glass reinforced plastic (GRP) layer is essential when it comes to weather resistance as it can protect against changes in temperature, wind and rain. This makes them extremely low maintenance and less prone to things like warping or problems from pests, ensuring that they last longer and keep all homes warm and safe.

Composite doors are also energy efficient doors. In fact, our composite doors are as much as 17% more thermally efficient than their timber equivalent, ensuring that your customers can reduce their heating bills significantly by reducing heat loss and keeping the temperature in their properties consistently warm and cosy.

How uPVC windows can reduce energy bills

uPVC windows are a common sight up and down the country because they offer fantastic weather resistance. They can stand up to all manner of harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow and frost, without the worry of the rotting or corroding.

These energy efficient windows offer multiple layers of insulation as well as weather sealing strips that work together to prevent heat from escaping. The energy efficient windows from Framexpress have multi-chambered profiles that can help provide that optimal thermal efficiency and low U-values, and come with the option of double or triple glazing to help ensure every home has the protection it needs from the elements.

Framexpress: offering your customers style as well as practicality

It is important to remember that it is not just the materials of a window that can make it energy efficient, but also the design. Framexpress offer a wide range of options so there is something to suit any home, no matter how modern or traditional it might be. The PVCu casement windows ensure that you can offer your customers a choice of modern and traditional styling with a wide range of colour and security options, in addition to low U-values.

As an alternative, the clean and slim sightlines offered by the PVCu Tilt and Turn Windows can maximise the light that enters a property, helping to keep it bright and warm all year round. These offer discreet ventilation and have a six-chamber outer frame profile and five-chamber sash profile. This makes them a practical and functional choice without compromising on style and design.
