Windows upgrades
With advanced window solutions, we ensure optimal insulation, reducing energy consumption and providing year-round comfort. Choose from a range of styles and materials to match your aesthetic preferences while enjoying the benefits of modern energy-efficient windows
At Osber, we tailor spaces to seamlessly fuse with existing structures, creating homes that are not only extended but optimised for contemporary living. In this discourse, we delve into the technical advantages of window upgrades and how they work together with house extensions to deliver homes that bring comfort, efficiency and have modern aesthetics.
Technical advantages of window upgrades:
1. Insulating glazing technologies: By leveraging Low-E coatings and inert gas fills, we ensure that your extended living spaces maintain optimal temperatures, reducing reliance on heating and cooling systems.
2. Energy-efficient fenestration: Upgraded windows feature multiple panes, often with low U-values, minimising heat loss and enhancing overall thermal performance. This not only contributes to a comfortable indoor environment but also results in substantial energy savings.
3. Sealed unit design: the use of advanced sealing materials ensures a durable and energy-efficient solution, further optimising the performance of your windows.
4. Sound-reducing glazing: Incorporating laminated or double-pane windows with sound-reducing properties mitigates external noise, providing an acoustic shield for your extended living spaces. This technical enhancement contributes to a serene and peaceful home environment.
When is the best time for window upgrades?
Aligning technical window upgrades with house extensions requires careful consideration. Here are key technical aspects to ponder:
1. Fenestration: Coordinate window upgrades with the design and placement of your house extension’s fenestration. Strategic alignment ensures optimal daylighting, ventilation, and visual harmony throughout the extended space.
2. Thermal bridge mitigation: Consider precision upgrades to address thermal bridging concerns associated with window-to-wall interfaces. Advanced window framing materials and insulating spacers can effectively mitigate these thermal bridges, enhancing overall energy performance.
3. High solar heat gain values: Evaluate the solar heat gain coefficients of upgraded windows to maximise passive solar heating. This technical consideration optimises the utilisation of natural sunlight, contributing to both energy efficiency and visual comfort.
