Home Improvements that make buildings more energy efficient, First Home Improvements is reducing energy consumption and preventing energy waste, thereby reducing its impact on the climate. In the UK alone, upgrading to better windows could slash carbon emissions by almost five million tonnes per year. According to the Glass and Glazing Federation’ s calculations, if all replacement windows installed in the UK were A-rated( like those offered by First Home Improvements) rather than merely meeting the minimum building regulation specifications, each household could save enough energy to make 34,000 cups of tea. Since 2008, First Home Improvements has been a driving force in sustainability, exclusively supplying highly innovative, A-rated energy-efficient products. These solutions remain largely unrivalled by its competitors within the same industry.
Financial savings
Indeed, with all First Home Improvements being rated A * in terms of efficiency, customers are guaranteed marketleading quality that effectively combines performance and sustainability. In recent years, customers have increasingly started prioritising energy efficiency, partly because of the government’ s growing focus on energy ratings, but also due to the general rise in awareness amongst consumers when it comes to the environmental impact of their purchases. However, the benefits extend beyond environmental responsibility, as energy efficiency also translates directly into financial savings. First Home Improvements’ energy-efficient windows are designed to prevent internal heat from escaping the building while allowing natural heat to enter, thereby reducing heat loss. As a result of this innovative design, clients could witness the amount of condensation in their home reduce by as much as 80 percent. In the short term, customers’ heating bills could also be lowered considerably. Additionally, there is a noteworthy impact on the future price of their home, as having high-performance windows enhances a property’ s long-term value, making it more attractive to future buyers. Still, First Home Improvements ensures that these practical benefits do not come at the expense of aesthetics. Its products are not only highly efficient but also beautifully designed, offering a perfect blend of functionality and visual appeal.
Amongst First Home Improvements’ key offerings is a wide range of high-security double-glazed doors, which combine style, durability, and advanced safety features. Customers can choose from composite and uPVC doors, patio doors, French doors, and more. In addition, the company provides an extensive selection of double-glazed external doors, including bi-folding doors and stable doors, all equipped with premium hardware and intelligently designed multipoint locking systems by Yale. For those seeking a personalised touch, First Home Improvements crafts coloured uPVC front doors available in a variety of solid colours or woodgrain finishes. Similarly, its uPVC doors come with customisable glazing options, such as double or triple glazing, resin and glass bevels, lead and film designs, Georgian grills, or sandblasted glass. To further enhance aesthetics and functionality, the company provides a wide array of decorative glass designs along with a choice of door furniture like handles, peepholes, and letterboxes that complement the unique style of its clients’ homes.
