Five Irresistible Invites For Burglars.

Some things are hard to pass by – two for one on ice cream multipacks, small dogs that really want their ears scratched, and – if you’re a burglar – some of the following common mistakes are really hard to let go without a closer look. Here’s what draws the eye of the average thief…

1. Unlocked doors and windows

Nipped off to the shops for five minutes? Warm sun beating through the living room window? Decided to leave it open a little crack, since you’ll only be gone five minutes? Probably better not to – burglars see this as a welcome invitation!

Talk to Dalmatian today about your window and door security – we can help.

2. Visible keys

These days, it’s not as simple as leaving a spare key under the plant pot. Burglars are sharp enough to take a look around all the obvious places. If you need to keep a spare key nearby, you’re safer to leave it with a neighbour or a friend.

Visible keys

It’s not enough to make sure you haven’t left your keys outside, either. You should also make sure to keep your window keys securely away from view.

3. Signs you’re not home

Heading away on holiday? Any newspaper subscriptions or milk orders piling up are a sure-fire sign that nobody’s home, so be sure to put them on hold.

Likewise, when the lights are off, nobody’s home. A set of light timers can give the impression of an active house every evening.

4. Easy pickings

There’s nothing a burglar likes better than an easy target. Student houses are usually empty over the holidays, and elderly people can often be vulnerable. In circumstances like these, it pays to have properly secure locks and alarms in the home. Take a look at our new secure doors, perfect for the security conscious home-owner:

It’s not just the indoor stuff that thieves are after, either. Leaving your gardening tools around is a really easy way to find yourself in need of some replacement gardening tools, since they’re so easy to snatch, make off with and sell on. Keep them locked up!

5. Hiding places

Burglars like a good spot they can hide in while they take a proper look for valuables. Any obstructions, such as pot plants or statues, set neatly in front of your ground floor windows, can do a lot to stop any loitering. It always helps to have your house well-lit, which a motion-activated light can ensure without wasting money and energy leaving lights on all night.

Hiding places

So keep your house well-lit, your doors and windows locked securely, and don’t leave anything lying about (including keys), and your house shouldn’t provide any kind of temptation for passing opportunists. If you are concerned about the security of your doors and windows, Dalmatian can help. Book a visit today: http://dalmatianwindows.co.uk/

6 Steps to an Energy Efficient Home

Here at Dalmatian, we focus mainly on three things; the satisfaction of our customers; the quality design of our products; and the continuous improvement of both our security features and energy efficient technology.

We have combined the three for this blog post in order to bring you 6 Steps to an Energy Efficient Home. Kick off with step one, sit back, and watch the savings pile up!

1. Look out for your general appliances

All over your house you’ve got electricity being used up when you’re not around, and there’s lots of tiny ways that you can save on the usage; Only fill your kettle with the amount you need to boil, fill your washing machine and dishwasher completely before turning them on, and try turning your thermostat down by a degree or two.

You’ll be surprised by huge the difference these small actions can make.

Oh, and when you’re turning in for the evening, remember to turn everything off. No sense keeping your TV on standby when you’re in bed fast asleep, is there?

2. Double-Glaze your windows

Keeping your curtains closed at nighttime can seriously reduce the amount of heat that escapes, keeping your home nice and toasty. Or you could do one better, and replace your single panes of glass with double-glazed windows from Dalmatian.

Once they’re fitted, you won’t just notice the difference in heat – you could be saving upwards of a hundred and fifty pounds a year in heating bills. The satisfaction of that money in your pocket should be enough to keep you warm at night, all by itself.

Take a look at our ‘Double Glazing Energy Efficiency’ range and start seeing the savings immediately.

3. Know how you’re heating your home

It’s important to know what kind of boiler you own in your home, since it’s likely that at least half of your monthly fuel bills are going to home heating. If your boiler’s quite old, it’s more likely to be running at a lower level than it’s peak efficiency.

You can also keep the heat in your home during the colder months of the year by upgrading your doors and windows with Dalmatian’s specialist energy efficient technology. See how much you could save on heating here.

4. Insulate your home, well

There’s a lot of room for insulation in a home, and if you’re doing it right then you’re using the minimum amount of energy for the maximum amount of results. Cavity wall insulation can save you hundreds of pounds a year, and double glazing in your windows can do just the same.

And don’t forget to keep your boiler and your water pipes insulated – your hot water is going to stay a whole lot hotter.

5. Consider your utilities providers.

These days, there’s no shortage of available utilities companies, and there’s no reason not to keep your options open and your eye on any deals.

The easiest and simplest way to save on your monthly energy bills is to just pay less for them in the first place.

6. Install an energy monitor.

Energy monitors don’t do anything to save you money in and of themselves, but what they can do is pinpoint those areas where you might be wasting energy, and you can decide from there where you could make the small changes that could lead to big savings.

The final step on this energy efficient journey is to relax in your warm home, enjoy the extra cash in your pocket, and bask in your pollution-free conscience. Enjoy!

7 Creative Ways To Improve Your Home With A Sunroom

Enjoy reading, and want to open your home to natural sunlight? Want to utilize the sun’s natural heating properties to bring warmth to your house? Looking for an ideal gathering space for your family?

If you are looking to extend your house and provide extra space, a sun room is an ideal option. They’re cost ­effective and multinational, and integrate smoothly with the rest of your home.

The Dalmatian Windows team have put together seven of the most popular uses for sun rooms. We have seen these transform people’s houses overnight. As you read through the list, let your imagination run free and consider the different ways you could use a sun room, and once you know what you want to use it for, let Dalmatian Windows provide you with a competitive quote to create your ideal space. We can build you a sun room that is exactly what you are looking for.

1. Dining Area

One of the main concerns people have with a sun room is that it will be too cold in the Winter. Obviously a room isn’t a valuable addition to your home if you can only use it 3 months out of the year! However, sun rooms can let you enjoy the white beauty of a cold winter’s day in the warmth of an enclosed space.

2. Indoor Greenhouse

Many people fill their sunrooms with plants You can add one, two or more potted plants or flowers to your sunroom to provide more oxygen, and to anchor the room in a natural setting.

3. A Reading Area:

Install comfortable couches or plush seats in your sunroom, and enjoy your favourite books in the natural light.

4. Entertainment Space

Install a TV and surround sound system in your sunroom. Consider placing your furniture along the window, facing inside, for an enclosed atmosphere. You can even install a bar along the inside wall for the perfect hosting area.

5. Gym / Exercise Area

Install your sun room to make space for exercise machines and an indoor exercise area.  Your exercise will be more enjoyable with plenty of natural sunlight!

6. Family room

Install an entertainment system, play area, games shelf, and tables. A sun room blends the best of the inside and outside, and is a great place to relax with your family. You can even install doors to the outside, and supervise your children’s play from the comfort of your couch.

7. Indoor Spa Area

Install an indoor spa. Enjoy the starry night sky while relaxing in the soothing warm waters.

Once you have an idea for how to use your sun room, give us a call. We will develop a customized solution that fits your needs. If your focus is on using your sun room as a way to collect solar heat, we recommend using thicker, insulated windows that wrap around most of the structure.

If you envision a room that can be opened for fresh air, we will accommodate this. Greenhouses require fresh air, light, and protection from temperature fluctuations, and a customized solution will take these into account.

You can also choose whether you want your sun room to be totally enclosed, with doors, or open to adjoining parts of the house. Our sun rooms are Secured By Design so you can be assured that we have your security in mind.

Double Glazed Windows Glasgow

In Glasgow, there are many homes including local authority properties that have double glazing installed. Although Dalmatian Windows has enjoyed great success in the greater Glasgow area, we would like to see all homes enjoy the benefits that go along with Dalmatian Windows double glazing and uPVC doors.

The reasons for his are fairly straight forward, as Scotland’s choice supplier for Double Glazing, Doors and conservatories, we have upped the ante. Our products are technologically advanced and although we are not talking star trek, “its double glazing Jim, but not as we know it”.

Double Glazing Glasgow

We use glass with highest quality A+ rated glass in our Windows, conservatories and sunrooms. The is Planitherm Glass which not only reflects heat back into your home, it also stops the cold from penetrating it as it has a special coating that is made up of tiny particles of metal that actually deflect the cold and whilst the maximum amount of light comes through the window, your home actually gains from free solar heat.

The uPVC Dalmatian Windows Use

The uPVC we use in manufacturing our Window frames and the frames of our conservatories and roofline products is actually very friendly to the environment as we recycle uPVC to minimise the impact of our carbon footprint and although not all of the uPVC is recycled, that amount that is recycled is on the increase. This actually helps us achieve our Environmental Management accreditation.

Police Approved Dalmatian Windows

The uPVC products that we carry have gained the much coveted “Secure by Design” accreditation from the police in their flagship initiative. This is based on the rigorous tests the police put our products through and these include how long it takes an expert to gain entry using a burglar’s toolkit and attempt to do this in under 3 minutes. They attempt to remove the glass from the outside and try to replicate forced entry. As if that wasn’t enough, there is mechanical load testing carried out to ensure the integrity is maintained. Only once the police were satisfied that our products had successfully passed all of these tests they can carry the ‘Secured by Design’ logo that we are so very proud to display on our products. The focus of the Secured by Design initiative’s main focus is on crime prevention within homes of people like you and me as well as promoting the use of security standards for a vast selection of applications and products. The principles used have a proven track record to significantly reduce crime risk by up to a whopping 75% through combining the principles of defensible space, natural surveillance and the minimum standards of physical security. All of the products Dalmatian Windows supply have been tested and gained certification from the “Secured by Deign” scheme, with a large portion of them exceeding the security standards that are required by the initiative.

The uPVC Frames Dalmatian Manufacture

The actual design of the frame we manufacture at our East Kilbride Branch is also very energy efficient and can be fitted with warm edge spacer bars, thermal reinforcing in the frame of the window and the outer frame has a 5 chamber profile which can produce a u value of 0.8 when used in certain combinations.

uPVC Doors Glasgow

The wide range of residential uPVC doors Dalmatian Windows carry are all designed and manufactured to the highest standards to ensure they are accredited by the secured by Design initiative leaving you free from worrying about various aspects which affords you the chance to choose the Double Glazed doors that suit your home to create a perfect entry point with our flexible range of colours and styles which everyone will see, all the while not compromising on the you, your family and your homes safety. Our uPVC Doors also have the same excellent design of frame we use in our windows, conservatories and sun rooms.

Energy Efficient Double Glazing

The energy efficacy of Dalmatian Windows Double Glazing is unsurpassed at saving you money. We save you money on your heating bills by improving the thermal flow in your house. The Thermal flow is basically, the temperature throughout the house and how far it heats and cools. We do this by using Thermally Reinforced uPVC, which is where the inside of the uPVC window has small pockets trapping any air and as a result, reducing heat loss. By slowing the airflow down within each of these chambers, less air can escape and the cold air outside can’t penetrate the window frame as easily as it does with older, less technologically advanced Double Glazing. We use Planitherm Glass as Planitherm is a low emissivity glass, which has a special advanced coating which will minimise any heat loss and maximise the amount of natural solar heat that you get from daylight, entering your home. This is called ‘Free Heat Gain’. The advanced coating technology used in Planitherm Glass maximises on the ‘free’ heat that you get from natural daylight and by letting as much daylight as possible to enter which will help heat the home. Thermal Insulation is another great benefit of Planitherm Glass, which is designed to reflect heat back into your rooms which means that much less energy is needed to heat your home because less warmth is lost through your windows. Not only that, but as this Planitherm glass maximises the amount of natural light that enters your home, without the haze or tint effects which is associated with some older double glazed windows. To top it all there is another huge benefit; it will help reduce Noise pollution too. Planitherm Glass from Dalmatian Windows affords you the highest possible ‘A+ energy rated glazing across this industry. The A+ rated Planitherm glass virtually eliminates any internal condensation and in turn will reduce draughts and cold spots in and around windows, which can only be of huge benefit to anyone suffering from any breathing related illness.

Dalmatian Windows Saves you Money

Double glazing has come a long way since it first started becoming more popular in the early 80’s and with all the technological advancements in our Double glazing like the energy efficiency of our uPVC frames and glass, you will not need to spend as much on your heating and the difference can be incredible, an average household can save a lot of money and when you add the years your Double Glazing will last. The Energy Saving Trust stated on their website, that the yearly savings that can be made on (gas heated) homes by installing standard double glazing (not like Energy Efficient A+ Rated Double Glazing from Dalmatian Windows) in an entirely single-glazed house. The savings on an average family living in a detached house can save anything from £130 to £175 per year and a mid-terraced house with an average family could save somewhere in the region of £80 to £105 every year. As our Windows are guaranteed for 10 years, with even standard double glazing, you will save up to £1750 on your heating bills alone but with The Double glazing you get from Dalmatian Windows is not just the bog standard and will save you even more money. The reason we will not provide standard and inferior products at Dalmatian Windows, is that we do not want to associate ourselves with any substandard materials or products, we want to give our customers the best service and best products at the best price. Because we have established an excellent reputation on a foundation of dedication to our customer care and hard work, from initial contact, through design and pricing, to final installation, at every step you will speak to a professional, and be treated with the respect and courtesy you would expect. It’s not in our interests to provide you with a bad service or products and we simply will not jeopardise that by fitting double glazing that simply doesn’t measure up.

The Accreditations Dalmatian Windows Received

ISO 9001:2008 – Quality Management This standard is based on a strong customer focus and a number of quality management principles, which is the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement.

ISO 14001:2004 – Environmental Management This certification should give you, our customer’s, assurance that our environmental impact is being measured and continually improved. We are continually striving to reduce our waste and energy consumption and reducing our carbon footprint

uPVC Doors

Dalmatian Windows uPVC Doors really are second to none. There is a lot of scope when considering uPVC Doors with so many styles and finishes to choose from. These are the uPVC Doors Dalmatian windows fit:

Patio Doors

Dalmatian’s Patio Doors are what my daughter would describe as ‘The bomb’, alarmingly enough. The great thing about the double glazed patio Doors is that they allow a huge amount of light into your home, which enables you to enjoy your garden even when you’re inside. The Planitherm Glass in these uPVC Doors allows ‘free heat’ to come in through the glass because of the special advanced coating which helps minimise heat loss and maximise the amount of solar heat coming into your home producing a high level of energy efficiency.

Bi Fold Doors

Some people believe that Bi Fold Doors are the most stylish of our uPVC Doors are the most stylish, personally I think it comes down to personal taste. I do like the way they open and close with a concertina like effect. Mostly used in conservatories or where there is a large opening to the rear of houses giving you the effect of a Glass wall when closed allowing the very maximum amount of daylight into your home, giving you a light and airy feel to your room.

French Doors

From our range of uPVC Doors, our double glazed French doors have and continue to prove very popular. This could be for reasons the light getting into your room, easy access to your garden and the ability to enjoy it in poor weather from the comfort and warmth of your home. Our French doors are hung on either a right or left hand hanging which you can have as either inward or outward opening. Dalmatian’s Multi-point locking mechanisms that operate in a tri-directional way offer the very best security options and our French doors are fully accredited by ACPOS (Association of Chief Police Officers) in the flagship Secured by Design initiative, just as all of our uPVC Doors are.

Composite Doors

Composite Doors represent a huge leap forward in the technology in our uPVC Doors, combining proven and accredited levels of security, an incredible choice of styles and unbeatable thermal efficiency. We are one of the few companies in the United Kingdom to have our uPVC Doors fully approved by the Police for maximum security.

Double Glazed Doors

Thermally Reinforced uPVC and Planitherm Glass help make our uPVC Doors energy efficient. This is where the inside of the uPVC Frame has pockets to trap air which helps reduce heat loss and increase heat retention by slowing down the flow of air within each chamber. You will find that very little air can escape and advantageously, cold air cannot penetrate these Energy Efficienct Double Glazed Doors easily.

If you are thinking of having uPVC  Doors installed in your home, the great news is that we are still fitting in time for Christmas, so if you want to reduce your carbon footprint and increase the energy efficiency of your home, save money on heating costs and have one of our great energy efficient double glazed doors, call Dalmatian Windows on  0800 652 3545 to get your free, no obligation quote for uPVC Doors.

Dalmatian’s Energy Efficient Double Glazing has, as the name suggests, two sheets of glass with a gap filled with Argon gas in between the two panes. This helps to create an insulating barrier that keeps heat in and cold out, as well as using thermal inserts to vastly reduce any form of heat loss. To choose the most energy efficient double glazed windows look closely at the energy efficiency ratings and you will see another reason why so many people are choosing to deal with a Dalmatian Windows for their high quality double glazing.

Energy efficient windows from Dalmatian come in a vast range of colours and styles and they meet all the criteria that measures how energy efficient they really are. These include how much air can leak both in and out, how much they can prevent heat from being lost by passing through the windows as well as the amount of light they let in. Dalmatian Windows use Thermally Reinforced uPVC. This is where the inner frame of our uPVC windows has little pockets to trap air and reduce heat loss, which helps us achieve the highest possible A+ Rated Energy Efficient Double Glazing available.

A+ Rated Energy Efficient Planitherm Glass

At Dalmatian Windows, Planitherm glass is used in our A+ rated Double Glazed Windows because the uValue is significantly better performing than other types of glass. The Planitherm Glass has a coating of tiny particles of metal oxide, which is exactly what lets the light and heat in but reduces the amount of heat that can escape. The advanced coating technology in our double glazed windows capitalises on the ‘free’ heat that natural daylight provides, letting as much as possible enter to help heat the home, this making Dalmatian Windows, the most energy efficient double glazing available.

Energy Efficient Double Glazing uPVC Frames

Dalmatians Windows  uPVC frames last a long time and are recycled in line with our green policies. Although wood frames have a lower environmental impact, they will always require maintenance at some point and are seen particularly in homes within conservation areas where the original houses had wooden window frames. With Dalmatian Windows, you can get the best of both worlds, you can get our double glazed vertical slider windows which look like the old sash windows (which had terrible insulation properties) and you can even have a wood effect finish on the frames to keep them in line with the environment around you, whilst making the savings which you deserve.

Double Glazing Ventilation

If at any point, although particularly during cold snaps, you start to see condensation building up around your windows, is is very possible your home may have a problem with damp. Generally speaking, damp only really occurs when there is inadequate or unsuitable ventilation, poor heating and insulation or any combination of these factors. Dalmatian Windows energy efficient double glazing will reduce this and as the thermal flow in your home improves, so does the heat in your home and we always have trickle vents in our thermally reinforced frames in order to maintain a healthy level of ventilation to prevent damp from occurring and we all know damp has a terribly adverse effect on anyone suffering from any sort of breathing issue.

So now you know some of the reasons why Dalmatian Windows is Scotland’s leading supplier of quality windows, doors and conservatories. The best thing is even although we are currently having our Biggest Ever Sale, we are still installing windows in time for Christmas. With finance packages to suite every budget and a top notch guarantee, we won’t ask for a single penny until you are completely satisfied.
