										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Homeowners today are constantly looking for ways to improve their properties, not just aesthetically, but also in terms of energy efficiency and cost savings. One significant way to achieve this is through the installation of double-glazed windows and doors. Jack of Glass, a leading specialist in the supply and <a href="https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/2023/04/06/how-much-does-double-glazing-cost-in-high-wycombe/">installation of these transformative features in High Wycombe</a> and the surrounding areas, is here to guide you through the impressive benefits of upgrading your existing fittings.
<h4><strong>Understanding Double Glazing</strong></h4>
So, what exactly is double glazing, and how does it work? Double-glazed windows and doors are essentially made up of two glass panes separated by a gap, usually filled with argon gas. This design creates a highly effective barrier that reduces heat transfer, noise pollution, and condensation, thus providing your home with year-round comfort and tranquility.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Whilst double glazing is an economic, energy efficient investment for your home, you are likely to have questions about such a purchase, so let us help you break down the considerations and benefits, and show how Jack of Glass can support you in getting the best value for money.

<br><br>
<h4>So, how much does double glazing cost?</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Here at Jack of Glass, we know that the pandemic has brought people a lot of time to reassess their living space and to make the decision to invest in their homes. If you’ve made the decision that a new front door is right for you – due to a draught, weather damage, or purely for aesthetic reasons – then let us explain the costs involved.

<strong>Cost factor one: the material</strong>

<a href="https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/doors/upvc-entrance-doors-buckinghamshire"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6220" src="http://jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Urban-Augusta-Situ-1-1-1-300x178.jpg" alt="double glazing gerrards cross" width="300" height="178" srcset="https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Urban-Augusta-Situ-1-1-1-300x178.jpg 300w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Urban-Augusta-Situ-1-1-1-1024x609.jpg 1024w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Urban-Augusta-Situ-1-1-1-768x456.jpg 768w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Urban-Augusta-Situ-1-1-1-1536x913.jpg 1536w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Urban-Augusta-Situ-1-1-1.jpg 1600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />uPVC</a>: This material is recognised as the most affordable when it comes to making a front door. Not only does this make it an attractive option, but your uPVC front door can be made in a wide variety of colours, including a wood-effect if you have a traditional property and want the appearance of timber but the reliability of uPVC. Your <a href="https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/doors/upvc-entrance-doors-buckinghamshire">uPVC front door</a> is also very easy to maintain, being wipe-clean, and can have an energy efficiency of up to A+.

Timber: If you do not want wood-effect, but the real thing, then timber may be the option for you. A timber door can add a sense of grandeur to your property. They also offer good energy efficiency and will be long-lasting, but all of this comes at a cost so be aware that it is the highest-priced front door due to the materials and specialist installation process.

Composite: At Jack of Glass, we most frequently find our High Wycombe customers choosing composite doors as their front door of choice. Our composite doors are made of a combination of a solid timber core with a GRP (glass reinforced plastic) skin. As such, they provide many benefits, like having the highest level of energy efficiency and they also offer you a high level of security due to their solid structure. The GRP skin can be tailored to the colour of your choice and is effective at withstanding accidental damage: all 3.8mm of the skin (one of the thickest on the market) is made in your desired colour, so a scratch or knock would not leave you with an unsightly mark.

<strong>Cost factor two: accessories and features </strong>

<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6121" src="http://jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grey-Composite-Doors-Chesham-300x300.jpg" alt="Grey Composite Doors Chesham" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grey-Composite-Doors-Chesham-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grey-Composite-Doors-Chesham-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grey-Composite-Doors-Chesham-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grey-Composite-Doors-Chesham-400x400.jpg 400w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grey-Composite-Doors-Chesham-75x75.jpg 75w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grey-Composite-Doors-Chesham-460x460.jpg 460w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Grey-Composite-Doors-Chesham.jpg 850w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />We can offer you many upgrades to enhance your door, be these for security purposes or for appearance. For example, you can tailor the colour of any of the above materials to suit your home. You might also consider upgrading to stainless steel ironmongery for your handles or letterplates. We also have a wide range of glass options, depending on how much light you wish your door to let into your property.

<strong>Cost factor three: the size</strong>

The cost of your door will of course be dependent on the size of the front door that you need. As you may expect, the bigger the size of the door correlates to the cost of the door and installation. This may also include such factors as sidescreens and flag windows. Every door is made-to-measure to ensure it is the perfect fit for your home.

Whichever door you choose, keep in mind the cost will also include the amount of time, skill and effort that the door will take to fit, and this is dependent upon the property type the door is being fitted into. For your peace of mind, each one of our doors comes with a <a href="https://www.fensa.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">10-year insurance-backed guarantee</a> as standard. <a href="https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/doors/composite-doors-buckinghamshire">Why not get a free quote today</a>?<p>The post <a href="https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/2022/02/14/how-much-will-a-front-door-cost-in-2022/">How much will a front door cost in 2022?</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.jackofglass.co.uk">Double Glazing High Wycombe | uPVC Windows and Doors</a>.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[At Jack of Glass, we often get many enquiries from customers asking us whether our patio doors or bifolds would be better for their property. We have fitted many of both styles throughout Buckinghamshire. Therefore, to help you become better informed to make the right choice for your property, read on…

<strong>Similarities</strong>

<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6229" src="http://jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Bifold-Door-Installation-300x150.jpg" alt="gerrards cross bifold doors" width="300" height="150" srcset="https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Bifold-Door-Installation-300x150.jpg 300w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Bifold-Door-Installation-768x383.jpg 768w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Bifold-Door-Installation.jpg 850w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />When it comes to replacing your back doors, both styles let in lots of natural light &#8211; making the most of every hour of daylight &#8211; and both can be easily fitted into most properties. This also isn’t about a cost difference – aluminium patio doors and aluminium bifolds are of a similar price. Furthermore, there is no need to be concerned about choosing a certain style because it offers more security: bifolds and sliding patio doors both offer a high level of security, being fitted with advanced locking mechanisms as standard. This includes the latest multi-point locking systems and toughened glazing for your total reassurance. Our bifolds and patio doors are equally thermally efficient and have low U values, to both be cost effective options. Both styles offer a quiet operation to make either a great choice for when wanting to enjoy an evening without the concern of waking children or disturbing neighbours.

What the difference predominantly comes down to is how both styles operate and, as such, which better suits your needs.
<strong>Bifolds</strong>
At Jack of Glass, we are pleased to offer our High Wycombe customers <a href="https://www.smartsystems.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Smart Systems</a> Bifolds. They neatly concertina in a fluid motion to seamlessly help you connect your room to your outdoor space. When fully open, they will give your property the illusion of having much greater space, working for smaller and larger properties alike. Additionally, if you wish to have a master door to work in the same way as a back door, then this can be done for you if you order an odd number of leaves for your bifolds. Our stylish bifolds are made with strength and durability in mind and would be an asset to your home.

<strong>Patio doors</strong>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6231" src="http://jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Screen-Shot-2015-06-23-at-11.57.06-300x243.png" alt="aluminium doors gerrards cross" width="300" height="243" srcset="https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Screen-Shot-2015-06-23-at-11.57.06-300x243.png 300w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Screen-Shot-2015-06-23-at-11.57.06.png 381w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Our Smart Systems sliding patio doors are the perfect choice for you to benefit from uninterrupted views of your home’s exterior – whether that’s your garden or one of the many wonderful views that High Wycombe has to offer. Because they don’t have the same concertina as a bifold, they are an ideal choice where space is restricted. Their smooth sliding tracks ensure effortless opening and closing each time. The incredibly thin sightlines of sliding patio doors are the choice for you if you’re looking to bring a sleek, contemporary look to your property, whilst ensuring minimal disruption to the view when you have the door closed. They are a fabulous product.<p>The post <a href="https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/2021/10/28/patio-doors-or-bifolds-what-really-is-the-difference/">Patio doors or Bifolds?

When it comes to replacing your front door, there are many factors to consider. Not only will you be enhancing the look of your property, but you also have the chance to improve the security, thermal efficiency and accessibility of your home.

Deciding on which front door to have installed isn’t always easy as there are lots of factors to consider. The first and potentially most important is which material your new door will be manufactured using. Our suppliers, <a href="https://emplas.co.uk/">Emplas</a> use only the highest-quality materials to manufacture our <a href="/doors/upvc-entrance-doors-buckinghamshire">uPVC</a> and <a href="/doors/composite-doors-buckinghamshire">Composite Doors</a>.

Composite doors offer a remarkably authentic-looking wooden finish and an impressively strong structure. This is achieved using a combination of different materials which are pressed and glued together under high-pressure conditions. The other popular choice for replacing your front door is to opt for a uPVC profile. In comparison to other materials like timber and aluminium, uPVC is generally lower in cost and offers some great benefits including easy maintenance, durability and versatility.
<h2>1. Considering Your Budget</h2>
We understand that all of our customers have a different budget when it comes to buying a new front door. With this in mind, we want to remind those looking for a new front door that choosing the cheapest option probably won’t be the best option. At Jack of Glass, we believe that upgrading your front door should be seen as an investment.

uPVC is usually the lowest cost option when compared to other door materials as it is much cheaper to manufacture. Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride, which is the full name of uPVC, is a type of plastic that’s tough and hasn’t had any additives inserted when manufactured. It’s the most popular choice of material for UK homeowners because of its low-price tag.

For customers that have a higher budget for their replacement door, composite doors are constructed using more sophisticated and costly materials. If you choose to make the extra investment in a composite front door, it could last for up to 35 years, compared to the maximum lifetime of 20 years for uPVC doors.
<h2>2. Which Style Suits Your Home</h2>
Letting your taste show in your style of front door can transform the entrance to your home. The functionality and design is important when choosing the right front door, uPVC doors are more limited due to being made from a singular material. Composite doors offer a much more versatile and flexible design with a whole host of colours, glazing options and finishes with an authentic timber look.

In terms of door furniture, there’s no difference – simply select the handle, letterbox and knocker which is best suited to your home and taste. You can also choose from a wide range of glass options for your new uPVC or Composite front door.
<h2>3. Securing Your Home</h2>
When you are choosing the right front door, security plays a very important part. By comparing Composite Doors and uPVC Doors security benefits,  it is clear that they each offer unique features that make them secure.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that UPVC doors are not secure just because they are cheaper. Their galvanised steel core and multi-point locks combine to create an extremely strong front door. Although uPVC front doors easily meet modern security standards, Composite doors will offer customers an extra level of protection. Depending on the level of security you feel that your home will need, you may be more inclined to choose one of our composite doors.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5186 alignright" src="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/upvc-front-doors-300x200.jpg" alt="choosing front door prices" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/upvc-front-doors-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/upvc-front-doors-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/upvc-front-doors-768x511.jpg 768w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/upvc-front-doors-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/upvc-front-doors.jpg 1600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
<h2>4. Creating a Thermally Efficient Home</h2>
As well as weatherproofing your home against the harshest of elements, all uPVC entrance doors from Jack of Glass can provide high levels of insulation consistently. The enhanced insulation even allows for improved soundproofing, a particular benefit to those living alongside busy residential roads.

Our Composite doors are constructed to offer vastly enhanced door ratings because of the solid foam or compressed hardwood cores which have excellent thermal properties. The rebated frames installed during the manufacturing process and superior draught sealing all but eliminate draughts for your home.
<h2>5. Enjoy Maintenance and Longevity</h2>
When choosing your new front door, we understand that the level of maintenance required will play a big part in whether it will a suitable replacement. Homeowners often don’t want a door that will need to be re-painted or treated regularly. Opting for either a uPVC or Composite door will mean that minimum upkeep is necessary. Both of these materials are very resistant to the elements and require only a wipe with a damp cloth to keep them looking good as new.

As with every significant home improvement, choosing a new front door requires a lot of thought and consideration. The price will always play an important part in the final decision, but so should your personal preference.

While composite doors come at a higher price than uPVC, it’s worth bearing in mind the energy savings, reduced risk of burglary and customisation options might offset the price in the long-term. It’s also worth considering the effect higher quality front door may have on the price of your property should you decide to sell.

If one of our Composite front doors seems to be out of your budget, finance options are available with Jack of Glass, just get in touch for more information. Thankfully, no matter which material you choose, you won’t have to compromise on function over style – as both will transform and modernise the look of any home.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-441" src="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Oak-uPVC-Casement-300x300.jpg" alt="Oak effect uPVC casement leaded window" width="400" height="400" />One of the most common signs that your window needs to be repaired or replaced is when it lets in cold air. This may be due to damage or failure in the window seal. This happens naturally over time, but no there’s no need to panic. For over 30 years, Jack of Glass has been installing <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/windows/upvc-windows">new and replacement uPVC windows</a> in homes in High Wycombe and throughout Buckinghamshire. We also offer a <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/repairs">comprehensive repair service</a> to fix issues that you may have with your double glazing.

We’ve collected a few other signs that your windows may need to be repaired or replaced:
<h2>There’s condensation between the glass panes of my window</h2>
This is a sign that the seal on the windows is damaged or broken down. If this is the case, your windows will have to be repaired or replaced.

Check out our handy guide on <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/news/demist-double-glazing">how to demist double glazing</a>.
<h2>My energy bills are high</h2>
There are several measures you can take to improve the energy efficiency of your home, including changing energy providers and switching to LED lightbulbs. Updating to double glazed <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/windows">windows</a> could save as much as <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/587337/DECC_factsheet_11.11.16_GLAZING_LOCKED.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">£155 a year</a> on your energy bills. A draught meandering between rooms leaves an unpleasant chill in the air, leading to most people to turn up the heating. Make draughts a thing of the past and save money by updating to newer energy efficient double glazed windows.
<h2>My uPVC windows are cracked</h2>
This may seem like an obvious sign, but small hairline cracks can also drastically affect the comfort in your home. <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/windows/double-glazing">Double glazed windows</a> will generally feature an insulating layer of gas between the panes of glass. Releasing this gas radically affects the window’s ability to retain heat and keep the elements at bay.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Climate change is a hot topic in the news with several London protests and school pupils around the UK demanding action. These protests have echoed the feeling of many people across the country: we need to do more. While the debate rages on in the Houses of Parliament, every homeowner can do their bit by considering renovating their home in an eco-friendly way.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-880" src="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/AluK3-300x200.jpg" alt="Interior with black aluminium windows" width="300" height="200" />
<h2>Update to aluminium windows in your Buckinghamshire home</h2>
Aluminium is a natural material used for producing windows. It’s inherently robust, secure and almost completely recyclable. <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/windows/aluminium-windows">Aluminium windows</a> offer a stylish and modern aesthetic to any home. The range of aluminium windows in Buckinghamshire from <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/about">Jack of Glass</a> can be fully customised, allowing you to select your ideal style and finishes with a <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/colour-options">massive range of colours</a> to choose from.

On top of this, these frames are known for their energy efficiency, with their unique multi-chambered profile reducing heat loss by up to 60%. Combined with our <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/glass/glazing">double or triple glazed units</a>, aluminium windows will lower your energy bills and could reduce your carbon footprint.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-4055" src="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Wood-furniture-300x206.jpg" alt="Wood furniture" width="290" height="200" />
<h2>Use recycled or reclaimed materials</h2>
The unexpected and up-and-coming trend in the interior design community over the past few years is using recycled or reclaimed materials for home improvement projects. These materials provide a perfect blank canvas for budding DIY enthusiasts. Give reclaimed wood a chance and use it for flooring, countertops, drawers or household furniture.

Not a DIY aficionado? Some home improvement retailers offer products made from recycled materials such as plastic.

You can also do your bit by scouring second-hand furniture shops and giving the item a touch-up.
<h2><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-4075" src="http://jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Paint.jpg" alt="Paint" width="300" height="400" />Switch the energy efficient products</h2>
Using less energy is good for your wallet and the environment. Over the past few years, companies have sought to make their products more energy efficient with the spotlight being on the eco-friendly revolution.

According to <a href="https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/bills/article-6747693/How-money-save-year-switching-efficient-energy-appliances.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">This is Money</a>, swapping your C energy-rated fridge freezer for an A +++ rated equivalent could save you up to £113 a year. Perform an energy audit on the appliances <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/news/6-reasons-glass-splashbacks-are-great-for-kitchens">in your kitchen</a> and throughout the home, such as your fridge freezer, tumble dryer and washing machine, as replacing these white goods could save you money in the long run.
<h2>Opt for eco-friendly paint</h2>
Many paints have a high level of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). These carbon-based compounds can be harmful to health. Professional painters have a 20% increased risk of lung cancer according to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1327910/Paint-fumes-trigger-asthma-cancer-Hidden-dangers-decorating.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">World Health Organisation</a>. If that wasn’t bad enough, VOCs also contribute to global warming. Using paints with little to no levels of VOCs will benefit the environment and your health.

Draughty windows, freezing house in the morning, high energy bills? There are <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/news/spot-if-your-windows-need-repairs-or-replacing" rel="noopener">several signs to spot</a> if your windows need to be replaced. Over the years, significant developments have been made to making windows more energy efficient and secure so considering replacement windows could be a great investment for your home.</p>
<p>We’ve collected a few crucial factors to consider when looking for <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/windows" rel="noopener">replacement windows</a> to help you get a high-quality product you can rely on for years to come.</p>
<h2>Is the company certified?</h2>
<p>Government-backed schemes, such as <a href="https://www.fensa.org.uk/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">FENSA</a> or <a href="https://www.certass.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Certass</a>, have been set up to ensure quality work in the industry. Companies that are accredited by these schemes make sure that good building regulation compliance is followed for their installations.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/about" rel="noopener">Jack of Glass</a> is accredited by FENSA, meaning that we are assessed by them regularly to ensure our work meets a high standard.</p>
<h2>What is the warranty?</h2>
<p>Peace of mind is something everyone is striving for, especially with a home improvement like investing in replacement <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/windows/upvc-windows" rel="noopener">uPVC</a> or <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/windows/aluminium-windows" rel="noopener">aluminium</a> windows. Always make sure that the windows come with a good warranty to save yourself sleepless nights or a cold home in the future.</p>
<p>All windows installed by Jack of Glass come with a 10-year guarantee by our first-class repair service.</p>
<h2><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-353" src="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Sash-Windows-300x300.jpg" alt="uPVC Sash Window" width="390" height="390" />Are the windows energy efficient?</h2>
<p>A <a href="https://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/home-energy-efficiency/energy-efficient-windows" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Window Energy Rating (WER)</a> is given to a product by an independent authority to rate its energy efficiency, its ability to keep the cold out and retain warmth. Building Regulations for windows in most areas throughout the country require that the minimum energy rating for a window is ‘C’.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/glass/glazing" rel="noopener">Windows from Jack of Glass</a> have a rating of ‘A’ as standard. The gas featured in the sealed double glazing and the type of glass used may see this rating increase and U-values lowered.</p>
<h2>Are the windows secure?</h2>
<p>The thought of intruders finding a way into your home is terrifying and one of the most common ways of them getting into a home is through a window. We never compromise on the durability and safety of our windows. All of our windows are backed by <a href="https://www.securedbydesign.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Secured by Design</a>, an official police security initiative, meaning that our windows meet the strictest security standards, to keep your family and home safe.</p>

			<p>Aylesbury is only a short journey from our base in <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/about/window-glass-showroom" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">High Wycombe</a> through the beautiful <a href="https://www.visitchilterns.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chiltern Hills AONB</a> and is an area we visit often to assist our customers with their latest home improvement project. But what county is the town of Aylesbury in?</p>
<h2>Is Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire?</h2>
<p>Yes, <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/double-glazing-windows-doors-buckinghamshire/double-glazing-windows-doors-in-aylesbury" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Aylesbury</a> is in Buckinghamshire. Despite the county being named after Buckingham, <a href="https://www.visitaylesbury.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Aylesbury</a> is the county town of Buckinghamshire. The town assumed this title due to Buckingham being in the north of the county, a large inconvenience before the age of modern transport, and in 1889 the Buckinghamshire County Council was founded in the town. Today, Council Hall, a 15-story high-rise tower Grade II listed building in the centre of Aylesbury, serves as the meeting place and headquarters for the council.</p>
<h2>Demographic of Aylesbury</h2>
<p>The town has seen its population grow from roughly 28,000 in the 1960s to around 72,000 in 2011. This was primarily due to new housing estate developments that were built to ease pressure on London, which is only an hour away from Aylesbury by train.</p>
<h2>Architecture of Aylesbury</h2>
<p>In 1985, excavations in the town revealed evidence of an Iron Age hillfort thought to date back to 650 BC. The history of Aylesbury includes a visit from the Romans, with the town making up part of their great road network which was created to move troops and equipment from one base to another more efficiently.</p>
<p>The town still features buildings from the Georgian, Tudor and Jacobean eras as a reminder of its storied past. Dating back to 1455, the Kings Head is a favourite for locals and visitors alike. The building features an old cobbled courtyard, beautiful wooden beams and floors and is home to a pub run by <a href="https://chilternbrewery.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Chiltern Brewery</a>. The King’s Head is also known for stories of 3 ghosts known to haunt the property, one referred to as The Grey Lady is believed to be a barmaid who fell to her death around the turn of the 20th century.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[It’s that exciting time of the year again, where Christmas is just around the corner, but that also means that the weather outside has become substantially colder. For the unprepared, this comes with the risk of your home becoming unbearably cold. Luckily, there are a number of ways to avoid the heat loss associated with the winter chill, and we at Jack of Glass happen to be experts on the matter.

<figure id="attachment_442" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-442" style="width: 300px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-442" src="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Rosewood-uPVC-Window-300x300.jpg" alt="Rosewood uPVC casement window" width="300" height="300" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-442" class="wp-caption-text">Rosewood uPVC casement window</figcaption></figure>
<h2>Installing double-glazed windows to combat the cold</h2>
One of the biggest factors determining whether your house will feel the cold this winter is whether or not your <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/windows">windows</a> have <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/windows/double-glazing">double glazing</a>. Double glazing is when your windows utilise two panes of glass as opposed to just one. Argon gas is present between the two panes of glass which helps create a barrier against the cold. Heat normally travels through glass with ease, which is where a regular window fails. Argon gas traps this heat as it tries to leave, resulting in far less heat being lost overall and less money being spent on your heating bill.

Jack of Glass offers double glazing for both <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/windows/aluminium-windows">aluminium</a> and <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/windows/upvc-windows">uPVC</a> windows, and there are multiple <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/glass/glazing">glazing options</a> available. Things like textured glass options can be selected and we also stock almost any type of glass you can think of. Improved thermal efficiency isn’t the only benefit of double glazing, you’ll also have improved sound insulation, better security, and no condensation or draughts.
<h2>Insulation within the home</h2>
Another way to reduce the heat loss within your home this winter is to make sure your home is insulated. The previously mentioned double glazing is just one way of insulating your home, but you can also insulate your walls, roof, and floor. Insulation is the act of utilising a material that stops heat from escaping and cold from entering. To insulate your walls and reduce heat loss, you can install cavity wall insulation, which is a method that involves placing insulating material between the brick and the inside wall. The reduced air circulation results in minimised heat loss through your walls.

You can reduce the heat lost through your roof by insulating the ceiling of your loft. Many houses already have loft insulation but if yours doesn’t, you’ll definitely wish you’d done it sooner. It’s relatively easy to insulate your loft by yourself by using rolls of mineral wool insulation. Heat tends to rise upwards, so having something in place that stops it from leaving your home will make all the difference this winter.

<h2>Replacing your doors</h2>
You might not have known this, but your <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/doors">doors</a> can actually be one of the biggest culprits in affecting the temperature of your home. If your door is particularly old or wasn’t fitted securely to begin with, you might be experiencing draughts within your home. A brand-new door from Jack of Glass is sure to minimise the heat loss within your home. Whether you’re looking for a <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/doors/upvc-entrance">uPVC</a>, <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/doors/composite-and-stable">composite</a>, <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/doors/bifold">bifold</a>, <a href="http://www.jackofglass.co.uk/doors/french-and-patio">French or patio door</a>, Jack of Glass provides doors that are energy efficient and installed professionally to ensure that the least amount of heat is lost.
