We’re all for bringing in the light, especially when the dark days are drawing in, so updating it now could help you battle against that SAD syndrome that gets us all a little down over winter.

Ventilation and sun screening are essential qualities in a window to ensure that your room has a well balanced climate.
During long, hot summer days, if your room is becoming stiflingly uncomfortable to sit in, then the main cause of this will be your out of date windows.
