Installing Windows In Spring: An Overview
The arrival of Spring heralds the start of home renovation season, when we dust off our lengthy to-do list and put our good intentions into practice.
In terms of installing windows, Spring is definitely a good time for a discount; you’ll find the majority of seasonal discounts on offer during the Spring, as installers aim to schedule orders for the first part of the year.
Pros:
The weather is noticeably warmer-which provides a greater window of opportunity (pardon the pun!) for you to set a date for the installation, without the worry of it being re-scheduled.
Cons:
The downsides of installing windows in the Springtime are few and far between-the only slight drawback you’ll encounter are the extra bugs, which may try to scuttle into your home whilst the work is being carried out.
Installing Windows In Summer: An Overview
Another popular time for replacement, Summer suggests thoughts of holidays and lighter evenings, and in recent years, the ‘working staycation’ instead.
For some of us, booking a week off provides the ideal opportunity to go full steam ahead with our homes, transforming them with upgraded windows, a new lick of paint, and a few potted plants for the garden!
Pros:
Looking to let more light into your home? Installing new windows in Summer enables you to achieve exactly that.
Moreover, you’ll also be able to see how they transform your room first-hand-a perfect proposition for creating the illusion of extra space!
Cons:
In older homes, the higher levels of humidity at this time of year can pose some problems-but most installers are able to work around them.
This is also the busiest season for glazing contractors-so you may find you’re unable to book the installation for the week you want.
Is It Better To Install Windows In Autumn And Winter Instead?
If the best price is your main prerogative, then absolutely! In Winter, double glazing installers are incredibly sharp with their pencils; they're keen to gain your custom before Christmas, and, consequently, will drop their prices considerably if you book your install before mid December.
Most contractors have good availability during these two seasons; ideal if you have a particular day in mind that you want to set aside for sorting this project.
This is also the time of year when you'll feel the tangible benefits of your brand new windows-especially if you opt for low e glass in your windows, or for triple glazing instead. It's a win-win situation!
