Change the Weatherseals

If your customer is looking at increasing the windows’ energy efficiency, changing the weather strips will make the windows warmer. The seals are both airtight and watertight, so your customer can apply them around the edge of the windows. They will keep out cold air, rain, and dirt, resulting in a cleaner window for many years to come.

Hollow blinds with sealed shutters will help bring more natural light into your property, cutting draughts of cold air. Not only that but the condensation in your windows will be reduced, resulting in a comfortable property.

Add Triple Glazing

Another way you can utilise your windows’ energy efficiency is to use solar window film. This can be utilised by applying the film to the windows. It gives your customer strong protection against the wind. And it can be taken off during different times of the year. For example, apply the film in spring and take it off in the autumn. Blocking out the glare of the sun makes the temperature more consistent and warmer all year long. Furthermore, it will reduce your customers’ energy bills, so they can spend money on the things that matter.

How to Make Your Windows More Energy Efficient

At Dempsey Dyer, we understand how much the cost of living affects our customers in both residential and commercial spaces. With energy prices expected to rise this winter, saving money on your bills has never been more important. But how can you make your windows more energy efficient for your customers? In this article, we will provide ways that you can help your customers be more environmentally conscious.

One of the first questions you might be asking is: what is the most energy efficient window on the market? The type of glass that a customer chooses affects the energy efficiency level of a window. Energy efficiency is measured by U Values which measure how well your property and window retains heat. You can inform your customer that the building is warmer when the U Value is low. This saves your customer money on their energy bills because they will keep the temperature warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

It is also important for your customer to understand what appliances they are using in their commercial or residential property. This will help them understand how much energy they are using.

For example, double glazing is the most common method of keeping your customer’s commercial or residential property thermally efficient. Double glazing is where two thick panes of glass are connected with argon gas, which gives a commercial or residential space outstanding levels of heat retention. For instance, if your customer installs double glazing with an A rated thermal efficiency level, then they could save around £95 on their energy bill. What’s more, an A ++ rating on your customers’ windows and a double glazing installation will save around £235 a year and 405 kg of carbon dioxide.

Your customer has the option to upgrade their energy efficiency levels even further with triple glazing. This adds a third pane of glass to increase it at a further cost. The extra glazing will help against condensation and unwanted draughts. What’s more, glazing will not just save energy, but it will also reduce outside sounds and privacy. When condensation builds up over time, this can lead to mould, and the windows can deteriorate in the long term.

You can also inform your customer that they can replace their windows if they are getting old. As a result, this results in the commercial or residential space being colder in the long run. An ideal energy efficient glass for your property is low emissivity (low E) glass. This type of energy efficient glass will block infrared light from penetrating the glass from the outside. This will help you save on heating and cooling costs for many years to come. In addition to this, it will let floods of natural light into your residential or commercial space.

In a well insulated building, less heat will escape in the cold seasons, which is ideal for a commercial property. As a result, inform your customer they need to keep their building as airtight as possible. This is done by replacing your doors and windows, which ensures the residential or commercial property will stay warmer for a very long time.

While double glazing has many benefits for energy efficiency, it will improve its look if your customer incorporates natural light into their residential or commercial property. What’s more, inform them that they can even use solar windows in their home. These contain transparent solar cells that convert the sun’s energy to emission free energy. This will save the customer plenty of money by decreasing utility costs.

A SMART thermostat is an ideal way to monitor how much energy your customer uses in a month. The SMART thermostats will be able to connect to standard HVAC systems, making the temperature warmer in the long run. By doing this, your customer will be able to regulate the temperature. Natural weather patterns are also useful because the system will turn off automatically when the building is vacant. This will save your customer plenty of money outside operational hours. And a SMART meter will adjust the indoor temperature depending on how many occupants there are in the building. This helps control the temperature much easier.

We hope that this article has helped you understand how your customer will make their windows more energy efficient. It is important for your customer to save money on their energy bills, especially with the cost of living rising in the winter.

The Variety of Timber Casement Windows from Dempsey Dyer

Over the years, the casement window has become the standard window fixture, particularly in the last 20 years since uPVC took over the market. uPVC entered the market due to the lack of longevity that timber provided to homes back in the 1970s through to the 1990s. However, since the early 2000s, modern design innovations and technologies have allowed resins to be developed that allow for timber installations to make a return to modern UK homes without having to worry about rotting, warping or discolouration. As such, here at Dempsey Dyer, we have developed a range of timber casement windows that provide the home with the best in thermal efficiency, security and weather protection. uPVC still remains an excellent option for homeowners, but timber has finally made its full comeback to wonderful effect. 

Today we wanted to focus on the three variants of our timber casement windows that we provide to trade installers and to homeowners: Flush Sash, Mock Sash and Stormproof Casement. Each window has something slightly different to offer the UK home. All of them have excellent properties in retaining warmth in the home, providing exceptional and modern levels of security and protection from weather damage. 

Flush Sash

Our timber flush sash windows have the professional touch that homeowners of heritage properties are looking for. Since uPVC entered the market, we have seen modern homes built with uPVC double glazing and homes built in the 1970s and later having their single glazed windows upgraded to uPVC. However, there has been a spot missing for the heritage home that has no interest in providing the home with modern uPVC finishes. Fortunately, modern timber casement windows have arrived to fill this gap in the market! 

Flush sash windows are stylish and discreet due to their flush design against the wall. They provide the traditional home with a modern upgrade that holds true to their classical style. They also provide the modern home with a touch of grace that may be missing if they had their uPVC windows installed sometime ago!

All of our timber casement windows provide homes with exceptional thermal efficiency. In these modern times when energy prices are skyrocketing with no sign of slowing down, it has never been more important to ensure that the energy we are using is used to its best effect so that we’re not wasting our money on leaking heat! 

Mock Sash

The mock sash timber casement window provides the same visual effect as the flush sash casement window but uses modern opening and closing methods. From the outside, you wouldn’t know that this window actually opens and closes like a modern casement window as it looks identical to traditional timber sash styles. However, the homeowner can enjoy modern window design from the inside. If you’re looking to give your home the contemporary upgrade without sacrificing on the outward appearance of the home, then look no further than the mock sash timber casement window! 

Like with all of our timber casement windows, the mock sash provides exceptional safety using our top of the line high security locking system. With a modern timber casement window from Dempsey Dyer, you can ensure that your home is protected from potential intruders. It used to be that timber windows were inadequate security measures to the ease with which intruders could break through them after they had rotted or degraded through the weather over several years. However, due to the modern application of resins, we can assure you that your timber casement window will not degrade through the weather at all! 

Stormproof Casement

Our stormproof timber casement range provides the home with the absolute best in weather protection. These windows come in a vast range of styles, including the two mentioned previously, so that you can customise your windows to your exact specifications. Whether you’re looking to provide the home with a traditional sash style or something more modern, our stormproof timber casement windows will give your home all the weather protection it needs without any signs of degradation.

Modern Timber Casement Windows from Dempsey Dyer

Our timber casement windows are available for trade customers and homeowners alike. Whether your client is looking for that modern upgrade to their heritage home or you yourself are looking to give your home a touch of the classics, then you’ll find what you need with Dempsey Dyer. All of our windows provide the best in thermal efficiency, security and weather protection, and all are customisable with a variety of timber species so that you can get the exact effect with the exact colour you’re looking for.
