Last week we were hunting for fans and ice lollies. This week? Back to waterproofs and wondering where summer went.
Typical Britain.
But while we're all used to the weather's mood swings, your windows might not be coping quite so well.
Sudden changes from hot sunshine to cooler, wetter conditions can expose problems that have been hiding in plain sight for years.
Did Your Home Turn Into a Greenhouse?
During the recent warm spell, many homeowners noticed certain rooms becoming uncomfortably hot.
If you found yourself closing blinds, opening every window in sight, or avoiding the conservatory altogether, your glazing may not be performing as efficiently as it should.
Modern energy-efficient windows help regulate indoor temperatures, keeping homes more comfortable whatever the forecast decides to do.
Now The Rain's Back...
As temperatures drop and the clouds roll in, different issues start to appear:
Cold draughts around windows
Condensation on glass
Rooms cooling down quickly
Higher heating bills
Windows that rattle in windy weather
These are often signs that ageing windows are no longer providing the insulation your home needs.
A Quick Window Health Check
Ask yourself:
✓ Do some rooms feel colder than others?
✓ Are you noticing more condensation?
✓ Can you feel draughts near windows?
✓ Have your energy bills crept up recently?
If you answered yes to any of the above, it could be time to consider an upgrade.
