As the winter season approaches, it’s important to ensure that your property is well-insulated and warm. The cold weather can be harsh, but with the right measures in place, you can create a cosy and comfortable environment for yourself and your family. In this article, we will share our top 5 tips for keeping your property warm this winter.

• Install Double Glazing

One of the most effective ways to keep your property warm is by installing double glazing. Double glazing consists of two panes of glass with a layer of air or gas in between, providing excellent insulation. It helps to reduce heat transfer and prevents cold air from entering your home. Double glazing is more effective than single-pane windows and can significantly improve the energy efficiency of your property.

Here at MB Frames, we specialise in manufacturing and installing high-quality double glazing products. Our double glazed windows and doors are made with precision and attention to detail, ensuring maximum insulation and durability. With our range of uPVC, wooden, and aluminium frames, you can choose the style that suits your home best. Our double glazing units are filled with argon gas, which has low thermal conductivity, further enhancing the insulation properties.

• Seal Drafts and Gaps

Another important step in keeping your property warm is to seal any drafts or gaps around windows, doors, and other openings. These small openings can let in cold air and cause heat loss, making it harder to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors. Use weatherstripping or draft excluders to seal gaps and prevent drafts. You can also apply sealant or caulk to seal any cracks or gaps in the walls or around windows.

• Insulate Your Home

Proper insulation is key to maintaining a warm and energy-efficient home. Insulate your walls, roof, and floors to prevent heat loss. Insulation helps to trap heat inside your property and prevents it from escaping. It also helps to reduce noise transmission and improve overall comfort. Consider adding insulation to your attic, cavity walls, and underfloor areas. Insulating your home can significantly reduce your heating costs and make your property more eco-friendly.

• Use Curtains and Blinds

Curtains and blinds not only add style to your home but also provide an extra layer of insulation. Close your curtains and blinds at night to trap heat inside your rooms. Thick, thermal curtains are especially effective in preventing heat loss. During the day, open your curtains to allow sunlight to enter and naturally warm up your rooms. Sunlight is a free and sustainable source of heat, so make the most of it.

• Maintain Your Heating System

Regular maintenance of your heating system is essential to ensure its efficiency and effectiveness. Have your boiler serviced annually to keep it in good working condition. Bleed your radiators to remove any trapped air and ensure they are heating up properly. Consider installing a programmable thermostat to control the temperature in different areas of your property and optimise energy usage. Proper maintenance and control of your heating system will help you stay warm and save on energy bills.

Energy Efficiency

Each of the windows in the Royale Collection comes with powerful double glazing as standard and is also available in thick triple glazing. They can each reach an incredible A+ energy rating, meaning they can keep homeowners warm and comfortable all year round. By reducing energy consumption and waste, homeowners can even start saving on their energy bills, which can be seen for yourself via our energy savings calculator. 

Noise Reduction 

Our double glazed windows are also effective at reducing external noise, creating a quieter and more peaceful living environment. The two layers of glass, separated by an insulating gap, act as a sound barrier, blocking out unwanted noise from traffic, neighbours, and other sources. This can be particularly beneficial for homeowners who live in busy urban areas or near a noisy road.

Enhanced Security

The Royale Collection can give your customers total peace of mind. Not only is the uPVC profile durable, warp-resistant, and low maintenance, but they are also rigorously tested to PAS 24 certification standards. The multi-point locking mechanisms and thick glazing can prevent unwanted tampering, and the tight weather seals keep out cold draughts and leaks. 

Condensation Prevention

Another advantage of the Royale Collection windows is their ability to reduce condensation build-up. The insulating gap between the glass panes helps keep the inner pane closer to room temperature, minimising the formation of condensation. This can help prevent issues such as mould growth, damp, and damage to window frames and sills. Additionally, they come with well-made trickle vents to increase air ventilation and circulation, even when the windows are tightly shut.

The Power of Double Glazing

Our windows are capable of reaching such a high energy efficiency rating due to their modern double glazed panes. The secondary glazing design creates a thermal barrier that helps keep homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This can significantly reduce the reliance on heating and cooling systems, leading to lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint. When installing MB Frames energy saving windows, homeowners can enjoy a long-term investment that also enhances the visual appearance of their home.

The Energy Efficient Royale Collection

The Royale Collection contains a range of double-glazed windows, each offering a unique yet subtle style to suit almost any type of property, modern or traditional.

Classic 2500 

The Classic 2500 window is recognisable by its chamfered profile, which provides an angular, timeless aesthetic to a home. Beyond just a massive range of colours and impressive energy efficiency, these windows are also PAS 24 certified. The Classic 2500 window from the Royale Collection can provide homeowners with the full package with zero compromises. 

Encore 2800

Like the 2500, the Encore 2800 window is PAS 24 certified and available in double-glazed and triple-glazed variations. The primary difference is the shape of the profile. The Encore 2800 has subtly contoured and sculptured profiles that offer a smooth and traditional look to a property. Both the Encore and Classic options are available in a variety of hardware and colour options, letting you grant homeowners the power of choice.

Flush Sash Windows

The perfect blend of modern efficiency and classic heritage, our flush sash windows feature sashes that sit totally flush within the frame. When combined with our range of vibrant and deep woodgrain foil finishes, these windows can mimic the appearance of traditional timber while being incredibly low maintenance and long-lasting. Deceuninck uPVC is crafted from easily recycled and sustainably sourced materials, making our uPVC flush windows an excellent modern solution for homeowners looking for more efficiency, while maintaining the classic appearance that flush provides. 

Vertical Sliding Sash Windows

For truly authentic homes in need of a modern upgrade, our vertical sliding sash windows can be the perfect solution. Available in a variety of astragal bar configurations, these sliding sash windows can suit Victorian, Edwardian, and Georgian properties. While old timber sash windows will typically come with single-glazed obscuring panes, these sash windows come with our powerful double glazing while having that centuries-old vertical slider opening style.
