As the warmer months are approaching, it is the perfect time to upgrade your home’s practicality, ventilation, light, and aesthetic. This guide will take you through WFS Anglia’s summer must-haves that will transform your space this season. At WFS Anglia, we specialise in helping homeowners around Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, and surrounding areas upgrade their property. We offer high-quality patio doors, double glazing, and home extensions – the ultimate summer must-haves.
High-Quality Doors to Open up Your Home
Patio doors are an excellent way to provide welcoming access from the inside to the outside space of your home. They feature a sliding mechanism that utilises space and can be fitted into small rooms. There are several benefits to consider including the light it allows into your space due to the large window panes on the panels. WFS Anglia‘s range of patio doors are all fitted with air glide systems to ensure they smoothly operate and open fully to increase airflow. As the warmer months approach, homeowners need to reduce their energy bills by maintaining constant ventilation in the home.
French doors are another great option as they are timeless and add character to your home. They are great for their light-enhancing and ventilating qualities however, security is still a top priority for us. We use leading suppliers such as Liniar for our patio doors, as well as security systems from Yale. All of our patio doors have an anti-bump cylinder to eliminate forced entry – keeping you and your family safe all summer.
Bifold doors offer a seamless transition as their panels fold back into themselves opening up your home for the summer. They are sleek and stylish, whilst offering great thermal efficiency to ensure your property is warm during the winter and cool during the warmer months.
Superior Double Glazed Windows – Not Just For Winter!
There is a common misconception that double glazed windows are to serve the best purpose during winter. At WFS Anglia, we install a variety of windows including uPVC casement windows, flush casement, tilt and turn, french casement, sash as well as bow and bay windows. There are a range of benefits of having these double glazed windows installed during the summer months:
uPVC Casement Windows: Casement windows allow for control of the airflow within the property as they can either open at the top or swing out at the bottom. This means you are able to choose the amount of air that is allowed into the property so you are comfortable all season.
uPVC Tilt and Turn Windows: These windows can tilt open slightly or turn completely out – which allows for airflow. One great advantage of these windows is that they have one large pane which enables maximum light and unobstructed views of the sunny outdoor area.
uPVC French Casement Windows: Along with their incredible architectural look, French casement windows have no central panel and both windows can hinge outwards – much like French doors. This creates maximised airflow, light, and views of the outdoor area. This also makes them incredibly low maintenance and easy and accessible to clean.
uPVC Sliding Sash Windows: Sliding sash windows have a timeless design yet provide a wealth of benefits. They slide up and down creating a large opening to increase ventilation but also save space due to not having windows that turn outwards. These may be ideal for smaller spaces or to add character to a property.
uPVC Bow and Bay Windows: These are large windows made up of multiple panels, providing a panoramic view of the outdoors. The design of these windows floods the room with light and transforms your home giving it a clean appearance.
Conservatory or Orangery: Create More Space to Enjoy Summer
If you love hosting friends and family or simply want a space to function as a living room, dining room, or something else – consider a conservatory or an orangery!
Conservatories
There are many conservatories to choose from based on what you require:
Victorian Conservatory: A three or five-facet design that allows for maximised light within a room – creating a bright space. The shape allows for a panoramic view of the outdoors, making it an ideal area to relax during the summer.
Edwardian Conservatory: These offer a symmetrical design that looks sleek and clean – suiting both the contemporary and traditional home. This shape can enhance functionality as it can be used for a number of purposes.
Lean-To Conservatory: Lean-to conservatories are a popular choice amongst Peterborough customers and surrounding areas for many reasons. They are affordable and quick to install by WFS Anglia’s expert team of installers, meaning you can enjoy your conservatory sooner rather than later.
Gable-End Conservatory: These conservatories add character to a home with their high-angled roof. These open up a room whilst flooding it with light and have multiple windows in order to control airflow.
P-Shaped Conservatory: P-shaped conservatories are great for larger properties. They are much alike a Victorian conservatory however feature an extra part to increase space whilst keeping a light, airy atmosphere.
