Best home improvements to make ready for winter

Here at Techniglaze, we offer a wide range of home improvement that will keep your energy bills down, your home comfortable and provide a whole host of other benefits.

Windows

Upgrading your windows to modern uPVC will vastly improve how comfortable your home feels and how much heat is lost. Our windows use multi-chambered profiles which are robust and durable against the elements. They will also stay looking their best for many years to come. Aluminium windows are another option which can give you a more modern feel. Aluminium is an extremely strong, lightweight and flexible material. This allows slimmer window frames and more glazing to be used so your home is flooded with more light. With a powder coating they can be customised in any colour you wish.

Many homes that still rely on single glazing do so because their home is a heritage or listed property, in a conservation area, or simply because they like the look of the original windows. Secondary glazing is a perfect solution to this. It consists of a slim and discreet extra panel of glazing that goes over your current windows on the inside. This allows you to keep your original aesthetic but enjoy enhanced sound and heat insulation.

Door

If you think your front door might be the culprit behind your chilly home, why not consider a composite door? These are one of the most popular types of doors in the UK and thanks to their use of multiple materials they provide excellent levels of security as well as thermal and acoustic insulation. With an insulating core they keep draughts at bay and can come in a range of colours and finishes while maintaining the appearance of traditional timber door. Best of all they’re weather resistant and require just the odd clean every now and then to stay looking as good as new for years to come. Why not try our Design a Door tool so you can create your ideal composite door and see what it would look like before you commit.

Aluminium conservatory glazed roof for lean-to conservatory installation

Conservatory roofs

In years gone by, the conservatory may have been the part of your home that you saw as a heat and money vacuum as it would become freezing and unusable during the winter. That no longer needs to be the case with replacement conservatory roofs. We offer a tiled conservatory roof system that can be fitted onto a new or existing conservatory. Our warm roof offers industry leading U-Values as low as 0.15W/m2K which will ensure that your conservatory is comfortable to use all year round. Made from lightweight glass reinforced plastic, it’s not susceptible to rotting or condensation and will make your glazed extension look like a permanent part of your home. It can installed on any shape and style of conservatory and comes with a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty. Compared to a glazed roof, a tiled conservatory roof is also ideal if your garden is overlooked by neighbours allowing you to maintain more privacy.

Our latest reviews

Ali & Fi

We are delighted with the windows, and have already been complimented by our neighbours on the upgrade.

Tyler and Paul were very professional and showed good initiative for the inevitable adjustments that needed to be made. They were particularly considerate of our house, it’s character and our pets! Please pass on our thanks and comments as appropriate.

Mary

We are delighted with the windows. As you know we were concerned that they would look different and more “clunky” but really you can’t tell the difference except that the new ones are not falling apart!!! The guys who did the fitting were also good. They were working in freezing fog, really cold but they carried on regardless, they were extremely tidy and cleared up after themselves.

Roy Robinson

I am delighted with the recent installation, it’s good to look out of clear windows. The work was carried out professionally by two excellent gentleman.
I will not hesitate to contact you when I am ready to replace others, also would certainly recommend you to others.

Excellent customer service, range of products and attention to detail. I honestly can’t rate them highly enough. They stepped in and came to the rescue after Salisbury glass cost us 8 months of time and 100k in increased material costs.

These guys have been great to us. Helped us out at short notice after we were badly let down by another supplier. We asked for several minor details that were not standard (e.g. different locking mechanisms), and they were flexible and open to ideas. We ended up also commissioning our front door from them; it is super sturdy and beautiful. Always courteous, professional, and good payment terms.

First class service for my window repair, with tricky access issues and a large, heavy glazed unit to install. Really glad I chose this company.

I was looking for a company that could deliver a bespoke pair of roof lights in the Alitherm system. Techniglaze offered the best price and worked with us to ensure the sizes were exactly right and conducted the sales process very professionally. The product is first class and we are exceptionally pleased with the service and product. I can highly recommend Techniglaze.
