It’s important to choose the right materials for your windows and doors based on where you are located. There are a variety of different factors to consider, such as the style of the property and the condition of its surrounding areas. The most ancient doors were made of timber and although this classic style may add elegance to your property today, it perhaps may not be the most suitable material if you live near the sea. The wood could rot because of the salt. Considering the location of your windows and doors could be one of the best things you do for your property.
I live by the beach, what materials should be used on my windows and doors?
Both aluminium and uPVC windows are perfect for homes on the coast, offering a range of benefits. Aluminium windows can last for over 45 years and are extremely low maintenance whilst being fairly simple to install. With a wide range of designs available, aluminium windows and doors can be aesthetically elegant and are the perfect addition to your home. Aluminium windows and doors are also incredibly strong and very unlikely to corrode, with their protective layer ensuring longevity. However, if you are looking for a more cost-effective option, uPVC windows and doors could perhaps be for you. They actively resist salt spray corrosion which would be a top priority for living close to the sea, and naturally resist rotting, moisture and corrosion. They’re incredibly draught resistant, making them the perfect material to be used along the coastline, as we all know that sea-breeze is a force to be reckoned with.
I live in a rural property, what materials should I use?
If you live in a rural property, you most likely already have timber windows. They are one of the most popular options for a timeless feel, whilst giving your home a country look. Wooden windows are stylish and can make your home look really aesthetically pleasing and can last over 50 years with the correct maintenance. Wooden frames are incredibly environmentally friendly and can reduce your carbon footprint. However, If you live in an area that is prone to excessive rain, timber windows may not be for you. Rotting window frames could really be an issue if timber is used, without professional installation and protection, in an area that is prone to bad weather. Although your house will really stand out with wooden windows and it will give it a unique look, you need to ensure proper maintenance is in place.
