We helped you increase your home security
The security of your home is of utmost importance. It's the place where you and your loved ones should feel safe and protected. Investing in high-quality windows and doors is a crucial step when it comes to safeguarding your home. At Hinson Custom Made, we specialise in crafting bespoke timber windows and doors that enhance the beauty of your home and provide the highest level of security.
At the end of 2022, a total of 192,060 break-ins were reported for the year. That equates to around one home break in every 164 seconds, according to Barry Bros Security. Unfortunately, many of these break-ins were as a result of an unlocked door, with only 30% of burglars gaining access through the window. It is for this reason that home security has never been more paramount.

We advised you how to care for your windows and doors
Wooden windows and doors add a classic and elegant touch to any home. However, to ensure their longevity, it is essential to properly care for and maintain them. In this blog, we will offer tips on how to maintain and care for wooden windows and doors, including regular cleaning and sealing, and avoiding exposure to extreme weather conditions.
REGULAR CLEANING
Regular cleaning is an essential part of maintaining wooden windows and doors. Dust and dirt can accumulate on the surface, causing damage to the wood and the finish. Use a soft cloth or brush to remove dirt and debris from the surface of the wood. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or rough scrubbers, as they can cause scratches or damage to the wood.
SEAL THE WOOD
Sealing the wood is another important aspect of maintaining wooden windows and doors. Sealing protects the wood from moisture and prevents it from warping or rotting. Apply a wood sealer to the surface of the wood, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow the sealer to dry completely before applying another coat or finish.
AVOID EXPOSURE TO EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS
Wooden windows and doors are susceptible to damage from extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow, and high winds. To avoid damage, keep the
windows and doors well-maintained and avoid exposing them to extreme weather conditions. If the windows or doors are exposed to moisture or rain, wipe them dry immediately to prevent water damage.
REPAIR DAMAGE IMMEDIATELY
If you notice any damage to your wooden windows or doors, it is important to repair it immediately. Minor damage, such as scratches or dents, can be repaired with wood filler and sandpaper. More significant damage, such as rotting or warping, may require professional repair or replacement.
REFINISH THE WOOD
Over time, the finish on wooden windows and doors may start to fade or wear off. Refinishing the wood can help restore the beauty and longevity of your windows and doors. Remove the old finish with sandpaper or a chemical stripper, and then apply a new finish or stain to the wood.
