Can the British weather affect your windows and doors?

From heavy rain and strong winds to summer heat and winter frost, the changeable UK weather can take its toll on your home’s windows and doors. Over time, temperature changes and moisture can affect seals, hinges and locks, leading to draughts, stiff handles, condensation and even water ingress.

🔍 What should you look out for?
✔️ Windows and doors that are difficult to open or close
✔️ Draughts around frames and seals
✔️ Condensation between double-glazed panes
✔️ Signs of damp or water getting in

The good news? A few simple maintenance checks and early fixes can help keep everything working properly. Want to know what to look out for and how to protect your windows and doors throughout the seasons?

How do you choose the perfect colour for your new windows and doors? 🫟

You may have heard the term RAL colour before, but what exactly does it mean? RAL is a standardised colour-matching system used worldwide, making it easier to specify and reproduce the exact colour you want. From classic whites and subtle greys to bold greens, blues and contemporary shades, there’s a huge range of RAL colours to choose from.

But with so much choice, where do you start? Our blog explains what RAL colours are, how the system works and what to consider when choosing a colour for your windows, doors or conservatory.

Thinking about a new conservatory? You may not need planning permission… but it’s worth checking first.

Planning permission, permitted development, building regulations… it can all sound a bit complicated. The good news is that many conservatories can be built under permitted development, as long as they meet certain requirements.

📏 Size, height, position and how far the conservatory extends from your home can all affect whether planning permission is needed. And even if planning permission isn’t required, Building Regulations may still apply.

Our latest guide explains it all in plain English, including:

✔️ When planning permission is likely to be needed
✔️ The rules around permitted development
✔️ Why Building Regulations still matter
✔️ What to check before you start
✔️ When a Lawful Development Certificate could be useful

And if you’d rather leave the paperwork to the experts, Glevum Windows can take care of Planning Permission and Building Regulations when you purchase a bespoke conservatory or roof upgrade from us.

Give your entrance a little more…

A porch can do so much more than simply look good. It creates a welcoming entrance, gives you a useful place to leave muddy shoes and coats, offers extra protection from the weather, and can even help keep cold air out of your home.

And, of course, a beautifully designed porch can make a real difference to your home’s kerb appeal too! At Glevum, we can design and install a porch to complement your home, whether you’re looking for something traditional, contemporary or somewhere in between.

Thinking about giving your home a more welcoming entrance? Let Glevum help you create a porch that looks fantastic and works hard for your home too.
