When the temperature rises outdoors, it can be tempting to put off those long-overdue home improvements. You can probably think of far more enjoyable ways to spend your time while the weather is at its best.
Nevertheless, there are several reasons why replacing your windows and doors in the summer can be advantageous. It’s possible to upgrade your windows at any time of year, but the summer is often preferable.
Here’s why:
1. Keeping things comfortable
While having your windows and doors replaced, it’s inevitable that your interiors will spend a fair amount of time exposed to the elements. This can make it difficult to control interior temperatures – especially in the middle of winter.
In the summer, the temporary removal of your windows and doors needn’t pose much of a problem in terms of temperature control and comfort. The days are also much longer, meaning the whole job can be completed much quicker by your team of fitters.
2. Windows to beat the bad weather
Upgrading your windows and doors during the summer means your home is ready for anything the winter weather throws your way. Rather than spending another cold season struggling to keep draughts at bay, you’re prepped in advance for a warm and comfortable winter.
Along with improved comfort, you’ll also be looking at lower energy bills as an added bonus.
3. More efficient glazing
Of course, keeping temperatures comfortable isn’t a challenge that is limited exclusively to the winter. It can also be surprisingly difficult to keep things cool and comfortable during the summer, particularly when a heatwave hits. The very best double-glazing on the market is designed with optimal thermal efficiency in mind, keeping interiors cool and exterior heat at bay.
The summer can also be the perfect time to reconsider your window treatments, perhaps upgrading to quality blinds or shutters. Both of which can help create more comfortable and consistent conditions indoors.
4. Effortless patio doors
If your existing windows and doors don’t provide you with the opportunity to make the best of the seasonal warmth, you may benefit from an upgrade. In this instance, we’re talking windows and patio doors that can be easily and smoothly opened to bring the outdoors indoors.
All fitted with advanced security features for added peace of mind when closed.
5. Noise reducing glazing
The summer months have a tendency to bring more people into the great outdoors than any other season. This often leads to things getting quite noisy – particularly in Oxford city centre and the surrounding towns. If you live in close proximity to other households that aren’t known for their subtlety and discretion during summer, you could definitely benefit from upgraded windows and doors.
High-quality windows and doors can make all the difference in the where noise reduction is concerned. The high quality window seals are also great for shielding your interiors from bonfire and BBQ smoke, which can likewise prove to be a nuisance.

6. Better window efficiency
Lastly, it’s worth remembering that the quicker and easier a home improvement project is, the less it is likely to cost you. When a job is delayed and disrupted for days (or weeks) on end due to poor winter weather, you’re inevitably going to be looking at higher costs than a quick and easy weekend fit out in the summer.
Of course, there are no guarantees – the Great British summer time is notoriously unpredictable. Nevertheless, you’re far more likely to enjoy a smooth and streamlined home improvement project when the weather isn’t at its worst.
