Formula One Home Improvements cover a large area and we work throughout several counties to fit double glazed windows or to install conservatories. One week we might be working on double glazing in Swindon and the next, we’ll be working on conservatories.
Wherever we go, there is one thing that most customers in Swindon tend to ask us - How will double glazing or conservatories save me money?
Double glazing has been a popular choice amongst clients in Swindon for some time and is now the standard option for a home or conservatory installation. Double glazed windows have two panes of glass spaced a few millimetres apart. Once sealed, air traps between the panes to form an insulating layer that keeps homes and conservatories in Swindon warm.
Modern conservatories are usually made out of uPVC but we can also discuss timber and aluminium designs. Double glazed windows can be integrated into a conservatory design to suit the requirements of homeowners in Bicester. This can include anything from solar-reflective glass to self-cleaning double glazing.
Silica gel is added prior to the unit being finished to ensure any moisture in double glazed windows is removed. This, in comparison to a single pane, helps double glazing almost half heat loss and reduce outside noise from busy roadsides in and around the Swindon area.
UPVC double glazed windows add value to your Swindon home or conservatory but still provide extra security thanks to their amazing durability. Formula One Home Improvements also fit multipoint locks to windows and conservatories that keep unwanted visitors out.
Double glazing comes in many different styles. If you find the UPVC isn’t ideal for your current home design theme, we can fit aluminium or hardwood frames instead. However, we always recommend UPVC for double glazed windows in the Swindon as we believe that it insulates much better than some of the alternatives.
Dating back to Roman times, evidence shows that the Romans were amongst the first to try and create structures to let in light whilst retaining heat. Glass was still a long way off and it is believed mica sheets were used in these early conservatories. With Roman settlements dotted around Swindon, it’s almost certain the area saw some of these constructions.
Forward to the British Empire and once trade routes were opened with places such as Africa and India, the introduction of overseas plants to our climate saw most specimens die quickly. The early conservatory became a way of growing and displaying exotic species, and some of our Swindon clients still keep plants in their conservatories today.
Soon, conservatories were being made at places such as Kew Gardens (including the magnificent Palm House)and these early models initiated the way that the modern conservatory were taken forward. This is why the conservatories we supply to homeowners in Swindon are given such regal names as Edwardian, Victorian and Georgian.
If you have a property in Swindon that could benefit from the addition of a conservatory, Formula One Home Improvements are here to help. We can integrate double glazing into all designs. Thanks to solar-reflective panes and excellent energy ratings, these double glazed windows keep conservatories in Swindon cool in the summer and warm during winter.
