New Windows Make For A Newer-Looking Home
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>When you stand outside your home and take a good long hard look at it one of the most noticeable features are the windows of the property. Ageing and dated windows can have a huge effect on the overall appearance of a home so anyone who suspects that their current frames have seen better days needs to get them replaced and the sooner the better!
Replacement windows in the form of UPVC windows will not only provide your home with aesthetic benefits, but they will also help increase the amount of natural light that hits your living space, keep you warm and reduce the amount of noise heard when indoors.
All UK homeowners are currently worried about their energy bills in particular, as energy prices have soared in recent years. As a window gets older it becomes less effective at storing the warm air that is generated…

Keep The Heat With Double Glazing In Bristol
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>Technological advancements in the manufacturing of windows means that a new set of windows are one of the best and most logical of home improvements. They put old windows to shame as ageing windows are the main reason why so much heat is lost from the home and energy bills are so high.
By persevering with your old windows you are literally throwing your money away as single glazed windows are poor at storing heat. Each time you go to turn your heating up to compensate for the cold air that flows through your home, you are not only damaging your finances but you are also damaging the environment.
Putting new windows in their place will be one of the most sensible investments you will ever make as double glazing prevents heat loss and can save you a small fortune in energy bills each and every year for at least…

Spring Clean Your Home With Greenway Replacement Windows
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>Winter thankfully is almost at an end and spring will shortly be in full bloom. A change of season is a fantastic time to think about making modifications to your home as it can give your property a fresh appeal. Certain changes can also help you save massive amounts on energy over the coming months and beyond. We are of course referring to the idea of replacing all your existing windows.
Replacement windows will help reduce the amount of energy that is lost through your windows as a set of UPVC windows come with double glazed glass tightly sealed against the UPVC frame. This also prevents outdoor air from making its way into your home which is something that usually causes you to turn on your boiler, resulting in costly energy bills.
As well as the energy-saving qualities of double glazing they can also…

Glass Extensions – Try A Home Extension With A Difference
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>Home extensions have become all the rage with the contemporary homeowner as they look for ways of improving the valuation of their property. It has been suggested that the installation of a home extension such as a conservatory can add as much as 7% onto the overall value of a home.
With house prices constantly fluctuating and many UK families struggling to attract the interest they need to sell their current property, the addition of a home extension can sometimes be all it takes to capture the eye of a buyer.
When your hear the words ‘home extension’ one automatically thinks of conservatories, orangeries, garage and loft conversions etc. However, there is a new form of home extension available in the form of the glass extension.

Ofgem Lay Down The Law To Big Six Energy Suppliers
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>Up until now the big six energy suppliers in the UK have had free licence to raise the cost of energy bills, something which they have taken full advantage of. The average annual energy bill for a UK family now stands at around £1,250 a year, double what it cost just 10 years ago and the number of people living in fuel poverty now stands at an astonishing 5.5 million.
But this could all be about to change as energy watchdog Ofgem has ordered the nation’s energy suppliers to cut their tariffs otherwise run the risk of having a mandatory cap put on prices so that householders can no longer be ‘ripped off’.
The Big Six consist of EDF, E.on, British Gas, Southern, Scottish Power and npower.
The news comes at a time when despite one of the mildest winters in recent memory, many of the major energy suppliers have…

A Greenway Glass Extension Gives Your More Home To Love
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>Research conducted by findaproperty.com has found that more than a quarter of UK homes are too small for its occupants. Because of the costs associated with moving home thousands of families are forced into staying in properties where space is no longer available, resulting in 24% of children left with no choice but to share a room.
29% of parents readily accept that their property is too small to live in but as property analyst for findaproperty.com Samantha Baden explains many people simply cannot afford to go elsewhere:
“Very few families can afford to buy or rent a property that meets their exact size and location requirements, and as a result, they are often forced to compromise on one or the other.”
In certain cases it may not be affordability that prevents homeowners from purchasing a larger property but it could come down to the fact that they cannot…

Replacement Windows Will Give You Further Family Funds
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>A report carried out by Aviva Family Finances has discovered that the average family now has debts of £7,944, a 48% rise in the space of a year. Because of a lack of disposable income some families in the UK are only managing to save as little as £21 or £22 a month.
It isn’t hard to see why this is the case in many households as the overall cost of living continues to rise at a rapid rate. The cost of owning and running your own car can be a huge burden, whilst in the home managing to heat it, keep it warm and keep it lit can cost a fortune as energy bills are incredibly expensive nowadays.
This is where Greenway comes in as we have a large selection of replacement windows with double glazing that you can take advantage of which…

Long-Term Energy Savings Guaranteed With UPVC Windows
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>Throughout 2012 not a day seemed to go by without one of the major energy companies declaring that they would be raising their prices. British Gas, EON, Scottish Power, EDF, you name it, they all at some point announced that they would be forced to increase energy bills and homeowners up and down the land would have to shoulder the burden.
For some property owners this was worse news than it was for others. Those who had yet to install double glazing in Bristol knew that they would be hardest hit by the news, whilst those with energy efficient windows already in place were already aware that this would have a lesser impact upon them.
The reasons why are simple. UPVC windows are far better equipped to store any warm air generated in home and they also help prevent cold draughts from invading…
