How to Prepare Your Home for Winter: Windows & Doors Checklist

Introduction

As the days grow shorter and the temperatures drop, many homeowners in Yorkshire start to notice drafts, condensation, or higher energy bills. At JADE Windows, we’ve been helping families prepare their homes for winter for over 30 years. Here’s our expert checklist to make sure your windows and doors keep you warm, secure, and energy-efficient all season long.

1. Check for Drafts

Run your hand around the edges of your windows and doors. If you feel cold air, it’s a sign that seals or weatherstripping may need replacing.

✅ Solution: Modern uPVC and aluminium frames with double or triple glazing eliminate cold spots.

2. Inspect Locks & Hinges

Winter often brings higher burglary rates as darker nights set in. Make sure your locks, hinges, and handles are working smoothly.

✅ Solution: Upgrade to PAS24:2022 and Secured by Design (SBD) certified windows and doors for peace of mind.

3. Deal with Condensation

Persistent condensation can lead to mould and damage.

✅ Solution: Energy-efficient glazing and proper ventilation help balance indoor air quality and warmth.

4. Maximise Energy Efficiency

Old single-glazed or inefficient windows let heat escape.

✅ Solution: At JADE, we don’t just talk about efficiency — we deliver it. As standard, with our traditional window profiles, we upgrade our customers to FREE triple glazing. That means better insulation, reduced heat loss, and a warmer home this winter at no extra cost.

5. Choose Products with a Guarantee

When making an investment in your home, peace of mind matters.

✅ Solution: At JADE, every product comes with a 10-year guarantee, so you can be confident your windows and doors will perform year after year.

Conclusion

A warm, secure, and efficient home makes all the difference during winter. Whether it’s replacing draughty windows, upgrading to triple glazing at no extra cost, or enjoying the reassurance of a 10-year guarantee, JADE is here to help.
