Every time you open a newspaper there seems to be an article about climate change and how it is all our responsibilities to do our bit to help to protect the planet. Coupled with this the price of gas and electricity seems to be ever increasing meaning we are all looking for ways to improve the energy efficiency of our homes. Up to 25% of the heat generated in a home can be lost through inefficient windows therefore this is one of the major areas where Venetian Village homeowners can improve the efficiency of their homes by installing replacement windows.
Windows were traditionally built from timber frames and the glass was single glazed. These had many disadvantages such as high maintenance, high percentage of heat loss, draughty and low security. Window technology has improved and modern windows are now built using uPVC frames and double glazing are just some of the benefits of modern replacement windows.
A Venetian Village gutter guard system is something that covers the top of your gutters to prevent leaves, twigs, seeds, and other debris from every entering the system, but still allowing water to flow in unobstructed. There are two main types and both have advantages and disadvantages.
The first type of gutter guard is a screen. The screen will have holes in it that are large enough to let water in, but small enough to block out other debris. The size of the holes depends on what kind of debris is common near your Venetian Village home. If you have to deal with a lot of pine needles, then you may need smaller holes than someone who only has large deciduous trees nearby. This variety of protection will definitely limit the amount of trash in your gutters, but it will not eliminate it entirely. Therefore, you will still have to clean out the gutters occasionally. For this reason, it is a good idea to have screens that easily snap in and out rather than ones that are permanently attached. The main advantage of this system over the other one is that they are less expensive.
The second type of gutter guard works on the principle of water adhesion. There is a solid cover over most of the gutter, except there is a small slit at the front. The slit is actually slightly over the edge. As water and debris run down the slop of the roof, the debris will be carried over the edge of the house, but the water will adhere to the guard just a fraction longer; just long enough to fall through the slit and into the system. These guards let in almost no debris and you rarely have to clean out your gutters. You may need to occasionally clear away debris that collects on top of the guards like on the roof, but they are mostly a hands off system. The main disadvantage is that they are quite expensive.
