Talk to our team today!
In some cases, it may be the right decision to repair existing timber windows rather than replace their profiles entirely. First, you’ll want to be able to identify the signs that windows need repairing or replacing. Some tell-tale signs we’ve seen over the years range from physical deterioration to sub-par thermal performance – if heat is escaping out of your windows, now more than ever it’s vital to ask quickly to avoid wasting energy.
If aesthetics are a primary concern, then the good news is that the paintwork of your timber windows could be rejuvenated relatively easily. A fresh coat of paint can last almost 10 years on your wooden windows, so if that’s all it takes, it could be a decent option to buy you a little time until you want to replace your timber windows altogether.
From a performance point of view, you may have noticed rotting or warping having an effect on older timber window profiles. The good news is that if this is spotted early enough, it can be treated quickly and relatively easily. Skilled repairers might be able to separate any damaged sills from the rest of the profile and replace these separately, so you won’t have to swap out the whole window.
In all cases, whether you’re looking to repair or replace or just get some advice, it’s always best to consult the experts. If you’re handing delicate timber window components or potentially hazardous fumes on older window profiles, you’ll want to make sure your repairs are carried out safely and responsibly. At Dempsey Dyer, we offer plenty of advice and support, so speak to us today.
If repairing isn’t an option, you’ll want to look at replacing your existing timber windows with the latest, most stylish and highest performance profiles on the market – such as those manufactured by Dempsey Dyer. Our specialisation in the industry means that we know what it takes to make windows that are truly the best of the best.
Perhaps you’ve looked at repairing timber windows as the first option. If you’ve found rot and mould early enough, then it can be treated. But in some cases, this has developed too far and compromised the bulk of the window profile. As such, you won’t want to waste time and money trying to fix a broken timber window that will never perform as well as it needs to.
After all, you might end up having to do it all again sooner rather than that. In this case, replacing your timber windows will be the best time-efficient and cost-effective choice in the long run.
For many homeowners, the opportunity to replace their windows opens up a wealth of existing design opportunities. With trends always changing and evolving, you’ll want to keep up with the latest style options. Whether that’s in colours or hardware, since you last replaced your timber windows (if ever) there are sure to be plenty of new options on the market to suit any home and express a customer’s personality uniquely.
From a thermal efficiency point of view, there’s never been a more pertinent time to replace older, outdated timber windows. This is because many wooden windows feature single glazing. Compared to double or triple glazing, single glazed windows suffer from sub-par energy performance, with hot air easily escaping. With upgrades to new double glazed timber windows, homeowners can save money on heating bills and stay more comfortable all year, all ways.

With energy efficiency at the forefront of everyone’s minds no matter where they are in the journey – from manufacturers and tradespeople to homeowners – it’s only right that there is a lot of discussion around which type of windows and doors are the most thermally efficient.
One of the most popular types of windows at the moment is aluminium. This material offers a distinctive, striking aesthetic that is ideal for modern homes looking to retain their up to date appeal or even traditional homes looking to bring themselves up to date.
But how does aluminium compare to timber and uPVC as an energy efficient window? It’s one of the products we offer here at Dempsey Dyer, and thermal efficiency is highly important to us, so we want to make sure our installers and homeowners stay educated about its properties to make an informed decision. That’s why we’ve put together this guide on aluminium windows’ thermal efficiency. Read on to find out more.
Several years ago, aluminium windows were not thought to be one of the most energy efficient options on the window market. That’s because, as a material, aluminium has high levels of heat transference. So, once installed, when customers would heat the inside of their homes, the windows would absorb this heat – and its transference properties would pass the warmth to the outside world, so it was lost.
From an energy efficiency perspective, this is far from ideal. If homeowners are spending money and energy heating their homes, the last thing they want is for it to escape – what’s more, frustratingly, with the help of their windows, rather than them stopping it. This leads to lost heat and therefore lost money.
Additionally, aluminium windows’ thermal transference properties led to them expanding in heat. With the profiles changing along with the temperature, the window seals would become damaged, leading to condensation, which is as unsightly as it is unhealthy. Older aluminium windows could even break away from the glass as a result of this expansion, which only exacerbated the issue of them losing heat too!
However, this changed with the development and popularity of a thermal break for aluminium windows.
A thermal break is what has made aluminium windows more viable and more popular as a result. So what is a thermal break? For those who are not aware of what it is or perhaps more likely how it works – put simply, a thermal break separates the inside of the outside from the window.
This means that when one side of the window becomes too hot, there is an extra layer in between that stops the same thing from happening on the other. It’s the same case for the cold, too.
A thermal break is an excellent addition to aluminium windows. With this in place, it reduces the issues that these profiles were facing previously – condensation and heat transference, and therefore extra expensive for customers in all cases. Now, with a thermal break, aluminium windows are as modern in their performance as they are in their aesthetics.
Here at Dempsey Dyer, we are at the forefront of development in the fenestration manufacturing sector. Our timber, uPVC and aluminium windows and doors perform expertly, with a range of options available, making them ideal for modern homes or even traditional properties looking for a modernisation.
Aluminium windows are thermally broken to ensure they limit condensation and lost heat. This means they will stay looking at performing at their best for longer, so homeowners can be sure that they have made the right investment financially and ecologically.
Sustainability and thermal efficiency are hot topics, which is why we’re keen to inform our customers about aluminium windows and how they relate to this. With energy efficient glass and profiles manufactured with thermal properties in mind, homeowners will be sure to save money on their bills and be proud of their investment.

Window energy efficiency ratings have become increasingly important for homeowners, and therefore it is key for tradespeople and installers to understand as well. With energy efficiency ratings explained, you will be better able to get across the importance of these scores – and how windows perform in relation to them.
At Dempsey Dyer, energy efficiency is important for us as manufacturers. We know that everybody wants to save money on their energy bills, so they need profiles that are thermally efficient to keep the heat in and reduce the strain on central heating systems.
To help our installer customers and end-user homeowners understand window energy efficiency ratings, we’ve put together this complete guide with all the information you need. As an introduction to energy efficiency scores, this should give you a good starting point. If you have any questions about energy ratings or would like to talk about our expertly manufactured windows and doors, we welcome you to get in touch with our team today.
A window energy rating (or WER) is the score relating to its thermal efficiency and heat transference. It’s a scale between E (at the lower end) and A+ at the top. This is generally the case, as different energy review bodies will have slightly different metrics, although some scoring systems may vary slightly.
You can find out more about the specific examples by visiting Certass, BSI and British Fenestration Rating Council respectively.
To place windows on the scale, a formula is used based on the total solar heat transmittance – that is, the amount of heat from the sun that can pass through the glass, also known as the g-value – plus the U-value of the whole window, frame and glass combined, which is how well the window keeps heat in your home without letting it escape.
While the formula itself may be complicated, you can see how these factors are massively important to homeowners and therefore installers and manufacturers, since they clearly assess how thermally efficient a window is – and as such, how much money customers can save on heating.
A formula is helpful since it makes the scoring system consistent with other products, so customers can easily see how energy efficient one type of window is compared to another, or how a window performs next to a door, for example, or even a washing machine or lightbulb!
As you can tell from the formula above, the energy rating takes into account the glass and the frame combined. As such, energy efficiency ratings are not attributed to one instead of the other, like the frame or the glass individually – instead, it’s the whole unit.
That means that the manufacturing process is key here, which is why understanding energy efficiency ratings are so important to us as manufacturers. At the point when these window elements are combined, the energy rating can be given. If poor quality glass is installed into sub-par frames (or vice versa) the score will drop and the overall product will not score as well.
Window energy efficiency ratings keenly and intelligently are based on the whole product, so customers can be reassured that they are getting the full package that performs as well as it needs to once installed. This makes the WER system a trusted resource throughout the process.
Here at Dempsey Dyer, we’re all about educating our customers on the benefits of our windows and how they will improve the end users’ lifestyle. As such, now you know how window are scored with the energy efficiency ratings systems, here are some of the key benefits of why homeowners should invest in them:
Everybody can rely on numbers and formulae. With WER scored by a set system that’s easy to compare within the industry and across other sectors, it’s easy to rely on. Like results from other neutral, impartial accreditation bodies, window energy efficiency ratings will give you the facts.
With an impartial scoring system in place to go by, WER forces (quite rightly) manufacturers to create quality products on all fronts. They can’t compromise on any elements, such as the frame or the glass, since the score of calculated combined. As a result, energy rated windows are made to impress – both the efficiency score and customers.
Perhaps the most important benefit for homeowners (understandably) is how following the scores of the window energy efficiency rating system can save them money. With windows that score better on WER, customers will enjoy improved heat retention and reduced heat loss – meaning less reliance on energy bills and more disposable income!
Here at Dempsey Dyer, we’re passionate about sustainability, and educating our customers on and abiding by the regulations of the window energy efficiency ratings system is a significant part of this. That’s why we wanted to put together this guide to explain not only why it’s so important to homeowners – but also why we work towards this.
Our windows and doors achieve excellent energy efficiency ratings, so end users can save money on energy bills in line with this trusted scheme.
