Falkirk Conservatory: Different types of conservatories

If you require extra living space or rooms in your property, building a conservatory or designing a sun room could be the solution you need. Custom made conservatories can be designed and provide a range of options for room uses, being well suited to use as reception rooms for entertaining, as dining rooms or for watching television, or to grow house plants and unwind after work. If you're building a new house, a sun room or orangery can be incorporated into the design as an atrium, kitchen area or natural looking extension which offers excellent light and ventilation and is a comfortable temperature during cold winter months.

Different types of exterior doors for Falkirk Homes

A few different sorts of exterior doors are on offer to choose between when you're either replacing old doors or you are fitting exterior doors as part of an extension or conversion project. For door options suited to opening onto your patio or yard, sliding patio doors or French doors, which can include full length windows beside them. If you're building a porch or replacing an exterior door at the front or rear of your property, composite doors tend to be popular as a solid wood alternative, because they are up to 6 times more energy efficient than wood. Another material to consider is a uPVC door, which is available in a range of finishes from brown wood grain effect to white. Doors made from uPVC also tend to be fitted with 5 lever mortice locks and are a popular option as they are more secure than wooden doors with single point locks.

Falkirk Homes: Different types of glazing

When your windows are being replaced, you can choose from a range of glazing options, ranging from coloured glass designs to etched glass and glass with frosted designs. Windows that are frosted or patterned tend to be popular installations for bathrooms and shower rooms to provide light but not allow people to see in. Decorative glass such as coloured designs and leaded patterns, which can be diamonds, square or swirled designs, can be used to enhance a door or window pane. Buildings that are listed usually require original window designs to be followed when they are being renovated and fitted with new windows to ensure the character and appearance of the building is maintained.

Window choices for Falkirk Homes

The initial choice to make when you're installing replacement windows or as part of an extension or project, new windows are being installed, is regarding the best type of windows for your property. One of the most popular types of windows is casement windows, with awning and hopper versions available, and there are also options for top vents. Sash windows are another alternative sort of windows. They are usually made from wood and can be painted or stained to match interior or exterior wood work. French windows, where both panes open, can give increased ventilation, whilst tilt and turn windows give flexibility to open a small amount or turn through 180 degrees for easier window cleaning. Co-ordinating uPVC window cills and window boards can be purchased offering customers an option that requires little maintenance such as painting and staining.

Increasing your home's energy efficiency

Window and door replacement can be effective at increasing your property's energy efficiency by prevent drafts around openings and increasing the amount of insulation between the outside and your property. A key way to improve your property is by taking out single glazed window panes and installing double glazed windows, or if your budget can stretch to it, triple glazing. New technology means that new windows have better seals and higher quality glass is used, therefore reducing heat loss. Exterior doors are another area where heat can be lost, which is why door replacement can reduce your energy bills. Conservatories can provide a buffer to the outside, as can porches at the front of your property, using warmth from sun to provide a warm environment and which insulates the side of the house cutting heating bills. There is a considerable amount of glazing in these buildings, however, so choosing high quality glass for doors and windows is recommended.
