Keep the Heat In and Peace of Mind High This Christmas
Prepare Your Home for a Warm, Secure and Peaceful Winter
As the festive season approaches, there’s no better time to make sure your home is warm, quiet, and secure. The dark evenings and falling temperatures highlight how much difference small improvements can make — from sealing draughts to upgrading old glazing. At Shane Howells Ltd, we help homeowners across Ledbury, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire stay comfortable and confident through winter with expert advice, professional installations, and trusted aftercare.
Simple Checks That Make a Big Difference
Before winter fully sets in, walk around your home and check the following:
- Seals and weatherstrips: Look for any gaps where cold air might be entering. Replacing worn seals around windows and doors is quick, inexpensive and highly effective.
- Trickle vents: Make sure these small openings are clear and adjustable, allowing fresh air circulation without losing heat.
- Locks and hinges: Ensure your doors and windows close smoothly and engage firmly. A tight, secure fit reduces draughts and helps keep your home safe.
Even simple maintenance helps your home retain more heat and feel more comfortable — but if you’re still noticing cold spots, it may be time to consider an upgrade.
Modern Upgrades That Transform Comfort
Our VEKA uPVC double glazed windows and composite or uPVC doors are designed to deliver long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. They feature:
- Multi-chambered frames to trap warm air and prevent cold bridging.
- High-performance glazing with low-emissivity coatings to reduce heat loss.
- Multipoint locking systems for enhanced security and peace of mind.
- Weather-sealed joints and precision fitting for complete insulation.
These systems not only make your home feel warmer but also help reduce heating costs and outside noise — ideal for the busy winter season.
Conservatory Comfort Through Winter
Many conservatories feel too hot in summer and too cold in winter. A high-performance glass upgrade or a solid warm roof system, such as the Leka Roof, can completely change how you use that space.
Leka roofs provide:
- Exceptional thermal insulation to maintain stable temperatures year-round.
- Noise reduction, perfect for heavy rain or busy surroundings.
- A bright, modern appearance with internal plaster finishes and optional rooflights.
Replacing a dated polycarbonate roof with a warm roof can make adjoining rooms more comfortable and improve your home’s overall efficiency.
