In the midst of Summer, its easy to forget that the Autumn and Winter nights are just around the corner. With the chilly breeze, crunchy leaves and roaring fires, the last two seasons of the year are hugely popular with many people, although if energy efficiency in your home is something of a concern, it could be a worry for you and your family.
More often than not, heat loss and draughts are caused by poorly fitted windows and doors, as well as older windows and doors which have simply been uncared for and lost some of their efficiency as the years go by. Although there are some tricks to help with the loss of heat temporarily, including draught excluders, in the long term you’ll need to take extra steps to ensure that your home is efficient and free of chilly draughts.
When looking at the options available to you with your timber windows and doors, the information available can be overwhelming. Do I need to replace or simply repair the windows? What type of glass or glazing should I consider? Is there another more energy efficient option available to me?
The most important part of exploring the options is to seek expert advice, and try not to get caught up in any technical terms that may be thrown at you.

There’s a common belief among heritage homeowners that you can’t improve your heritage home – let us introduce you to vacuum glazing. Whether it’s the tight constraints of planning permission, or a reluctance to hinder the visual appearance of listed buildings, heritage homeowners are often reluctant to attempt to renovate their home in any regard, […]
If you’ve ever renovated, or are looking to renovate your home, you’ve likely asked yourself “What is U Value?”. U Value is a term that is becoming harder and harder to avoid in the modern day, likely because it’s closely related to topics you’re more familiar with, such as: energy efficiency, sustainability, and Net Zero.

With summer upon us, it’s time to make the most of your outdoor space, and spend some time in your garden!

A superb job! We’re really delighted with all our new windows. We’d like to thank ERW very much.
The installation team of Craig, Aarron and Joe were very professional, worked well together and got on with the job efficiently to complete everything ahead of time. They were very polite and communicated well with us about the job in hand and the time scale, and we were impressed that they cleared up so well each day before leaving. We would like to thank them for all their workmanship, advice, help and good humour.
The quality of the items made off-site was very high. The 7 windows look really good, they operate well and the finish is excellent. Hopefully, next winter’s gas and electricity bills will show the benefit.
From our initial contact with Stuart and our visit to the showroom, through the technical survey by Andy and the co-ordination by Sophie and Jeff, to the final installation, we’re more than happy with the whole process. We’re so pleased that we chose ERW for our continuing efforts at improving our 115-year-old home. We will certainly come back for the final stage of work on our windows in due course.
Mr and Mrs C, Darlington
The service you all provided was second to none, a great job well done!
Ms S, Beamish
Having just recently had wooden windows installed by your company, I would like to thank you for the professional and efficient service you provided. From my initial phone call to ERW through quotation and survey it all went very smoothly. I congratulate you on your work force who were all polite, punctual, reliable, tidy, helpful, considerate and very hard working. A CREDIT TO ERW! Needless to say I am delighted with my new windows and would not hesitate to recommend ERW to anyone who wants to deal with a professional family run firm.
