Make Owning A Home More Affordable With Double Glazing In Oxford

Counting down the days until payday? Finances amongst homeowners are being squeezed

tighter than ever before and it is not difficult to understand why when you consider that research carried out by housing charity Shelter has shown that UK households pay a whopping 40 per cent of their income on household-related costs.

This makes the UK the third most expensive place to run a home after Denmark and Germany once rent, mortgage payments and other living costs are taken into account. It is estimated that property owners are paying an average of 6,760 pounds per year in housing costs alone, of which energy bills account for an average of 1,152 pounds per year. A hefty chunk we are sure you will agree!

The amount people pay for their energy bills will differ depending on where they live and whether their property is as energy efficient as it needs to be. The type of windows you have installed will have a strong bearing on this as old, poorly insulated windows, leak heat and are one of the main causes of heat loss from the home. To plug this gap and drive down the cost of heating bills you need to get your old windows replaced and the sooner the better.

Wherever you happen to live, double glazing in Slough, double glazing in Oxford and double glazing in Maidenhead will make a huge difference, in terms of insulation and the cost of energy bills. Each time you turn on your heating you can rely upon your double glazed windows to utilise every single bit of heat produced, making sure that none of it is able to escape. This then prevents the need for over-usage of the heater, a change that will be reflected in your newly lower heating bills.

The inclusion of double glazed windows will also help give you a more secure home so that the risk of anyone managing to force their way into your living quarters is reduced, and the need for you to replace any personal belongings is averted. This is because the two panes of glass are internally glazed and all UPVC, aluminium and timber window frames are hard-wearing and durable.

Owning a home should not be a financial burden, but unfortunately for many it is exactly that. Try changing your windows as it will give you many extra pennies to spend elsewhere so that you can live a less stressful life.
