At first I was like Raylu???? Then I noticed you mentioned autocorrect and I was like ah- Rauru.

You absolutely can. I love every part of this idea. I feel like a perfect companion to Sage is one that is just such a sunshiney baby.

Anyway, I meant to get this out last night after work, but I got high instead and spent an hour watching the ceiling fan. I also wrote like the weirdest draft ideas and I'm deciding if they're worth fleshing out at all.

(Sage is TotK Link!)

Also smut so MDNI! 18+

Smut CW: Breeding kink, baby trapping, reader is a little naive. Sage. He's a crusty little bastard. (affectionately) Dumbification.

It had many names, the Legend of the Dragon's Daughter. Many of which titled it as either a legend or a story. A myth. Some warned of great dangers surrounding the aura of the spirit the legend told about. Other's told of the pure divinity that this being held in the palm of their hand. The grace and adroitness that lined their very pores was spoken of so fondly by the older generations who had heard the story from their own grandparents, who had heard it from theirs and so on and so forth. The older Zora especially spoke of her in such a tone he found himself lending a little belief to the legend.

The story told of a daughter, blessed to the first King and Queen of Hyrule by the Three Goddesses themselves. A princess bestowed with the gift of beauty and grace, a beacon to the budding kingdom. There were even carvings under Hyrule Castle, hidden by toppled boulders, that portrayed her image.

And he would admit. She looked like a being having been blessed by the heavens above.

The carvings had showed an ugly side to an already bitter story. How this princess, this goddess sculpted muse, was struck down by the Demon King as a means to get back at both King Rauru and Queen Sonia. The carvings from there had been too worn down to get a clear reading, but it was enough to pique his interest. Besides, what else did he have to do? Save a princess who had no issues with leaving him to die? Deal with monsters that the people of Hyrule already knew damn well how to deal with and were no longer scared of them? Traverse the depths and all the lightroots he had already found?

At least this way, he may get some new power out of it. If nothing else, at least he had a good story for Traysi.

His first area to investigate was the sky island he woke up on. He could still spot Rauru's spirit in certain areas, understanding the solemn look he seemed to wear much more than he previously did.

It was also much easier to travel around the island this time around, which was a bonus.

When prodded for answers, something complicated flashed over the spirit's face before it settled into a Grim acceptance. One Link had worn too often right after remembering the untimely demise of the Champions.

"She was gravely injured. My precious sunshine. I almost lost her that day." He had spoken in a grave echo, eyes glazed and far off, as if seeing his daughter right in front of him. "My sister, Mineru, had offered her services in an effort to preserve her soul. I am unsure if it had worked. I haven't had the heart to look. I would be such a disappointment to her fiery heart and iron strong will to shine in the brightest ways possible. She was kept in the Temple of Time if you are at all curious."

He was. He was curious. He wanted to see this being for himself. If Rauru spoke so highly of you, it had to be worth it. And it was either this or go save Zelda, and he figured she was fine doing what she currently was for a little while longer.

At least until he looked further into this.

Walking into the temple, he hummed to himself as he looked around, spotting the blue glow of Rauru near a wall closer to the exit. He nodded solemnly when Link approached. The hand that matched his own raised to the wall, pulling forth one of those green symbols that chimed at his hand. The bricks shuffled and moved while Rauru faded out, leaving an unactive construct in front of him. It rattled to life, chirping up at him before recognizing that he was friend and not foe. The Construct explained that he was designed to protect the chasm the Princess was being kept in, but since Rauru had deemed him worthy, he would escort the blond to the place. It wasn't a long journey, not at all, just down a spiraling staircase with stone walls curtained by moss.

But the moment he laid eyes on you, he understood why you were hidden.

You face was lax in such a peaceful expression as your body remained weightless, suspended in a bubble of seafoam green and ocean blue. Your hair was splaying up behind you as if you were underwater with your hands clasped around a hilt of a sword. Even the sword itself was divinity in a blade, glowing a bright white from it's place in front of you. You were clad in white robes trimmed in cold with a stone necklace laced around your delicate neck, those same white earrings hanging from your ears.

You were...ethereal. From the curve of your jawbone to the plump flesh of your cheeks, he was enthralled by your very essence. The curve of your shoulders and the toned flow of your arms, even the dip in your collarbone-- all of it had his eyes trailing every bend and curve of your body.

What he wouldn't do to get a piece of you.

He ached to just touch your sun-kissed skin, to feel it under his palms as he held you. To feel the run of your hips, fingers gripping at the dips that decorated them. To paint them a splattering of blues and purples in a lasting reminder of who he was and what he had done to you. To bite and nibble at the flesh just to hear the kind of cries you would make.

Goddess, he couldn't imagine what your voice sounded like, but he wanted to. He wanted to hear what it sounded like while you breathlessly gasped out. To hear what it sounded like when you cried out his name in pure ecstasy as you withered underneath of him. To hear you give yourself to him entirely.

He wanted to feel your weight on top of him, to experience your hands in his hair (Or cupping his cheeks if he chose to allow himself that vulnerability), to live in your orbit, worshipping you as his one true Goddess.

His eyes landed on the same green symbol that unlocked everything pertaining to the Zonai. He raised his hand in response. It lit up a bright green before fading. The bubble shined brightly before growing, eventually popping and exposing you to the elements. Which why? You were so vulnerable like that? Why not just give you to him directly? You were at risk like this. Couldn't they SEE THAT-

Whatever invisible force keeping you suspended gently laid you on your feet, which were bare, only adorned with an anklet matching your necklace. The tip of the sword in your hand clinked against the stone floor. The echo of it made your eyes, your gorgeous, gorgeous eyes, snap open. If he thought seeing you before was captivating, this was downright...enchanting. The light of your irises positively glowed as your silently gasped, hands tightening around the hilt of the weapon. He rushed to your side as he saw your balance falter, cradling you in his arms as one of your hands came to gently hold your own temple. Even just the sound of your groan made him swallow hard, fighting the blood threatening to rush to his (dick-) cheeks.

You blinked before realizing that he was not someone you knew, pushing him away with much more force than he would expect from someone fresh out of a comatose state. The only thing stopping him from wrapping his arms around you once more was the tip of the very blade now prodding at his neck. He swallowed.

"Who are you?" You demanded, hold on the weapon shaking just a tad.

(Which was so adorable. How someone like you, all soft skin and doe eyes, expected to make someone like him, rugged scars and gnarled morals, bend to you was beyond him.)

(But he'd love to see you try anyway.)

"Where are my people?! Or Queen Sonia and King Rauru?!" Oh, you were so cute.

He wanted to decimate that innocence you carried.

With a careful hand, he gently pushed the blade aside with the back of a hand, letting a smug smirk settle on his lips. Your cheeks immediately reddened as your attention remained on him. Just as he liked it, he decided then and there. He liked having your attention (and only yours) on him. But having you acting so hostile towards him just wouldn't stand. But you didn't know any better, not yet anyway, so he'd let it slide.

He gently explained that you had been fatally wounded protecting your people, something that your parents were endlessly proud of you for-- even in death. While it was a direct shot in his, admittedly lacking, heart to be the one to tell you of the passed time and the death of your parents (The sacrifice of your father and the betrayal that lead to your mother's death), he was evidently the best and only option. He understood, on an intimate level, what it was like to loose so much time, healing yourself, while the rest of the world carried on, carrying the loss of friends and family with it. He knew what it was like. It had to be why you two were so perfect for each other.

He held you as your cried, soothing down your hair as your tears (Which should never have been shed) soaked his shoulder. While he was never interested in defeating the Demon King for Zelda's sake, he may have just found another motive.

One much more worthy of his time and attention.

<><><><>

When he first saw you, he understood why you were hidden, on a surface level.

He understood why much more on a deeper, more intimate one now.

You were so bubbly. Even when faced with the devastation of your home, you remained optimistic, greeting the constructs that roamed around happily. Bestowing your cherished kisses (Those should belong to him.) upon their cold exterior while wiping them free of dirt. Even the wildlife that had squawked and charged at him crooned and chirped under your touch, hankering for the scratches you gifted them under the chin. You saw beauty in the overrun weeds and fauna, taking great interest in the new species that had popped up.

When he took to the mainland, via shrine travel because he would be damned before you got down the same way he originally did, it seemed like you couldn't see everything fast enough. You loved exploring the caves, despite the Like-Likes baring their disgusting teeth and innards (Which he quickly disposed of), ached to get as close as possible to the chasms (Which wasn't very as he refused to risk you falling in), yearned to traverse the mountain peaks and snow dunes of the mainland (Which killed him on the inside since didn't you know how dangerous those were?!).

You were quite the adventurer, full of inexperienced naivety and unpoised curiosity. The exact opposite of the princess he knew. He forgot you were royalty have the time with your mannerisms, nothing like Zelda. Which was so refreshing.

If only you weren't so fragile. He would never admit it (Too your face at least) that he's thought of just tying you down and keeping you in his (He saw it as your shared home these days) home. It was on the far outskirts of Tarrey town (Far enough no one would hear your cries for help should it come to that) with a pasture out front so you could keep a horse nearby as a friend (Should you behave).

(It wouldn't be a young, steady horse. No, most likely an older horse who had long since retired from any sort of running or getaway attempts.)

He just needed a way to keep you stationary.

And it hit him like a Hinox. You two were walking around Hateno (It was deemed safe and far enough from Tarry Town that it was still new to you), when you stopped, let out a high enough squeal his ears pinned to his head as his head snapped towards you. You were always in his peripheral, but now you were right in front of him with his hands quickly holding your arms, checking you over for injury. There were none, but you were beaming like someone had handed you a million rupees (He would. He could. He'd do it just for you), instead redirecting his attention with a call of 'Link, look!'. He had followed your line of sight just as you began squeezing his own hands, expecting you to be aweing over a cow or goat or, Goddess forbid, a dog again (You very nearly took one of stable dogs home last time). But you weren't.

And that's when it hit him.

You were loosing any semblance of a mind you had over a small infant, strapped to their mother's back by a wrap of some sort. The babe smiled at your reaction, letting out a small cascade of giggles that had you squealing in pure joy.

That was it.

The answer was right there! How could he have been so blind?! It was right there. If he gave you a baby, his baby no less, you would have no choice but to remain dormant. You would have to stay right where he put you to not only protect yourself, but to your protect your child. He had no doubt you would do it. You were too kind, too naive, for any other option. Once you figured out you were carrying his child, you'd fall for thing, claiming it as your own before it was any bigger than an apple seed.

And from then on it would just be a matter of formalities. You'd be his for the rest of your lives.

Exactly what he wanted.

Exactly what had led up to this moment. You were nothing but a babbling, crying mess underneath of him, pulling at the roots of his hair as he folded your legs against your chest. You were pleading with him, some mindless demand that he wasn't even sure you knew what you were asking, but it was background noise. He was too focused on watching the way he disappearing into your cunt, a milky sheen coating the shaft of his cock as heavy dollops of past loads dripped past your gaping opening. It was mesmerizing the way your body reacted to him, sucking him in and fighting him every time he pulled out. Even on an unconscious level, you ached for him. Not nearly as much as he breathed for you, but that would come with time. He knew it would. He'd ensure it.

The cry of his name on your lips had the coil in his gut steadily tightening as his pace picked up, thoroughly hammering your insides. He needed to make sure he was prodded right against your cervix for this to work. He needed to get this right. He needed to father any and all of your children. Starting here and now.

Whether you knew about it or not.

You had babbled something about him pulling out too long ago, but he had...distracted you with long laps at your clit and soft nipples along your thighs. He didn't even think of truly ruining you until you were clenching your thighs around his head and drenching his bottom jaw, too gone to properly process anything going on around you.

And he'd keep it that way.

His thumb, rough and calloused, rubbed harsh little circles into your clit, feeling it pulse in time with his ministrations. You whimpered beneath him, chest arching up to push against his own as you cried out, squeezing around him. You were positively milking him for every drop he had to offer.

There was no way you didn't want his children. Not with the way you were clenching around him as he jutted as far as he could go, filling your womb once more. You laid boneless beneath him, hands dropping to hang around his neck as he took a moment to breath. Your cunt spasmed once more and his cock twitched inside of you.

"You're not done yet, are you, Princess?" He purred into your ear, making it flicker as he rolled his hips against yours, even if overstimulation rocked his entire system in a flash of shot nerves.

None of that mattered to him. He had a mission. A mission he would do anything to accomplish.

Anything to keep you as his.

Yes, the reader was holding the Light Sword. Yes, I know that's not how you get it. I just thought it would be a cool tidbit bc YES, Sage seems like the type to get turned on by a hot princess threatening with a sword.

A Demigods desire

◇ NSFW~ 18+ only ◇ Minors/Ageless blogs DNI◇ You will be blocked ◇

Finished writing: unfinished

Pairings: DomGn! Reader, C!Foolish

Warnings: shibari, not complete

An: Welcome to the first post of the unfinished masterlist. A bunch of broken drafts I have no motivation of finishing and hope you'll show some love

Contrary to people's beliefs Foolish is a very busy demigod. He was almost always at ready to help Las Nevadas with whatever it required, to offer his building services to other, and even work on his own on the side. Not only that but he had side goals as well. A debt to be repaid. All of these things meant a great deal of thinking and there were sometimes he wished to never think again. Luckily you were very good at offering that.

"I dont understand," Foolish tilted his head confused at you holding the rope.

"I think you know exactly what I mean," you hummed.

The totem hybrid only squinted before taking a step back in realization. "Oh," his cheeks flushed and he began nodding.

You began moving towards his throne room, the land puppy in tow behind you.

"Is this something you'd like to try now?" You asked looking back at him.

He didn't say much. The only noise he made was the sound of his knees hitting the ground. There in front of his very own throne the demigod was looking up at you with glossy eyes.

Foolish knew he couldn't get much further without giving you what you wanted though.

"Please," he licked over his lips.

"Good boy," You began removing the clothing over where you would bind, which happened to be everything.

The rope traveled over his shoulder, around his chest, under his thigh. Each length across his skin carefully laid to be safe yet pretty. You pulled back to admire your work. Eyes lingering over his body, glowing golden from the sun's departing light.

A finger moved between the rope and his skin checking for how tight it was looped around his body. You returned to his throne, sitting down to watch him closely. The rise and fall of his chest, the faint flush covering sections of his bare skin.

"Look at you," you hummed. The demigod glanced up at with glazed eyes. "You look pretty like this,"

Foolish's breath caught in his throat, the hybrid hanging off of your every word. "Sitting so pretty and perfect wrapped on display,"

It was a cute design with a heart on his chest, not that Foolish noticed. There was something about being wrapped in those ropes. about being on display that stuffed the brain with fuzzy cotton.

He needed this.

While the hybrid could easily snap the rope with his unusual strength, you knew he wouldn't. It wasn't long at all before the falling sun had turned into silky moonlight on his skin.

------

Foolish shuddered in your grasp, his head thrown back as your hand wrapped around him.

------

Carefully you removed your hand as to not overstimulate him. The intense orgasm sent the hybrid into a foggy daze. His muscles relaxing almost going limp.

"No, no, cmon big guy we need to get you cleaned up and out of this,"

Mentally this was being jotted down as a favor to ask you more of. Foolish was sure he'd be stressed again soon enough.

Skylight you can Transform and Improve virtually any Space with Daylight

"Welcome to a world where natural light reigns supreme and transforms your living spaces into havens of warmth and comfort. Introducing the magical skylight – a simple yet powerful addition that can revolutionize any room, from the darkest basement to the smallest bathroom. Say goodbye to dull, dreary interiors and hello to enchanting rays of sunshine that invigorate both mind and body. Join us on an exciting journey as we explore how skylights can brighten up your life in ways you never thought possible!"

What is skylight?

One of the best ways to improve any space is by adding skylights. Skylights are a great way to let in natural light and make a room feel more open and airy. They can also help reduce energy costs by reducing the need for artificial lighting. In addition, skylights can help improve indoor air quality by providing ventilation and helping to control humidity levels.

How does skylight work?

In order to let in natural light, a skylight is placed in an existing roof or ceiling. Skylights work by admitting sunlight through a glass or plastic lens set into the roof. The light is then reflected off mirrors and diffuse panels onto the ceiling and walls of the interior space below.

The benefits of skylight

There are many benefits of skylight, including the following: -Skylights can help improve the quality of light in a space, making it brighter and more inviting. -They can also help reduce energy costs by allowing natural light to enter a space during the day and reducing the need for artificial lighting. -In addition, skylights can help improve ventilation in a space by providing fresh air and helping to circulate stale air. -Finally, skylights can simply make a space feel more open and spacious – something that is especially beneficial in small rooms or confined spaces.

How to choose the right skylight for your home

There are many factors to consider when choosing the right skylight for your home. The first is the size and shape of the window. Skylights come in a variety of shapes and sizes, so it's important to choose one that will fit the space you have available. The second factor to consider is the type of glass. There are two main types of glass used in skylights, tempered and laminated. Tempered glass is stronger and less likely to break, but it is also more expensive. Laminated glass is cheaper, but it is not as strong and may break if not installed properly. The third factor to consider is the angle of the window. Skylights can be installed at different angles, depending on how much sunlight you want to let in. The fourth factor to consider is ventilation. Some skylights come with vents that can be opened to let in fresh air or closed to keep out drafts. Others do not have vents at all. The fifth factor to consider is energy efficiency. Many skylights are now made with energy-efficient glass that helps keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Skylight installation tips

If you’re considering adding a skylight to your home, there are a few things to keep in mind during the installation process. First, skylights should be installed on a roof that’s pitched at least 30 degrees. This will ensure that water will properly drain from the skylight. Second, it’s important to choose a quality skylight. Look for skylights with double or triple glazing and an energy-efficient seal. This will help reduce heat loss in your home and keep your utility bills low. Third, when installing the skylight, make sure the flashing is properly installed around the perimeter of the window. This will prevent water leaks. And finally, be sure to caulk around the edges of the skylight after it’s been installed to further prevent any leaks. https://therooftechnician.ca/our-services/skylights/

Conclusion

Skylights are an excellent way to bring beautiful natural light into any room. Not only do they add a sense of beauty and style, but they also save you energy and money in the long run. With so many different styles, shapes and sizes available, you can easily find one that suits your tastes while still providing enough brightness to light up your space. With skylight installation services readily available from professionals across the country, transforming a dark area with daylight is easier than ever!

Energy Efficiency Tips for Homes with Timber Sash Windows

Timber sash windows are commonly found in Sydney homes because of their timeless beauty and usefulness. However, sash windows may diminish your home's energy efficiency. Whether you want to add modern conveniences or keep the vintage look of your timber sash windows, these tips will help you make them more energy-efficient.

Inspect and Repair Your Sash Windows

If you wish to save energy, maintaining the condition of your sash windows would be beneficial. Over time, holes, cracks, and malfunctioning or broken equipment can contribute to drafts and heat loss. If you have misaligned frames or broken lines, you should consider contacting a sash window repair service. Maintaining the window properly will increase its lifespan and reduce energy loss.

Upgrade with Window Sash Replacement

If your windows cannot be fixed, window sash replacement could be preferable. Modern sash windows significantly reduce heat transfer with double-glazed panes and enhanced seals. Especially in Sydney, where the temperature is often erratic, these adjustments will help you save money on energy bills and maintain warmth in your house all year.

Install Weather Stripping

One affordable and efficient method to seal the regions surrounding your timber sash windows is weatherstripping. This adjustment will help your house stay calm and reduce the likelihood of drafts. Using premium materials that will withstand Sydney's surroundings and having them professionally fitted will help you maximise your investment.

Buy Energy-efficient Glass

Installing energy-efficient glass is one of the most significant upgrades you can make. Adding low-emissivity (low-E) or double-paned glass to your windows can help keep heat inside. These types of glass perform best when paired with the natural insulating properties of hardwood sash frames. To keep your home's essence, ensure the remodelling is consistent with the style.

Use Curtains or Blinds Strategically

Covering your windows with curtains or shades can bring more warmth. In the summer, heavy, lined curtains can protect against the sun and keep heat inside. Thermally efficient shades can also help improve the energy efficiency of your timber sash windows.

Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance is necessary to ensure your timber sash windows work well. The procedure involves greasing the pulleys, covering the frame, and examining it for decay or rust. Routine maintenance protects your investment and maintains the energy efficiency of these windows.

The Benefits of Professional Help

If you are experiencing more serious concerns, like structural damage or significant heat loss, having your window sash repaired or replaced by a professional can save your life. After studying your specific needs, they can successfully create unique solutions that integrate form and function.

Following these energy-saving tips will help you improve the energy efficiency of your timber sash windows while maintaining their historic beauty. Choosing new glazing, repairing sash windows, or weather stripping can reduce energy costs and make your home greener.

Breaking Down the Costs of Window Replacement: What Influences the Price

Replacing your windows can be a big investment, but it’s one that pays off in the long run with improved energy efficiency, enhanced curb appeal, and a more comfortable home. If you're considering window replacement, you might be wondering what exactly affects the price. The window replacement cost Pleasanton CA can vary widely based on several factors, and understanding these can help you plan your budget and make the best choice for your home.

Type of Window

One of the biggest factors that determine the price is the type of window you choose. Basic double-hung windows are generally more affordable, while specialty windows like bay or bow windows tend to be more expensive due to their size and complexity. If you're looking to improve energy efficiency, you may opt for windows with double or triple glazing, which will cost more upfront but can save you money in the long run by reducing heating and cooling costs. Energy-efficient windows are often a great investment, but they can raise the initial price.

Window Materials

The materials used for your window frames can also influence the cost of window replacement Pleasanton CA. Vinyl windows are one of the most cost-effective options and require little maintenance. Wood windows, while attractive and excellent for insulation, can be pricier due to the higher cost of materials and the need for regular upkeep. Aluminum windows offer durability but are often more expensive than vinyl. Fiberglass windows, known for their strength and energy efficiency, are the priciest option but offer excellent value over time.

Labor Costs

The price of the windows themselves is just part of the equation. Labor costs for installation can add up quickly, especially if the job is complex or requires custom work. Hiring experienced window fitters ensures the job is done right, preventing future issues like leaks or drafts. Installation costs can vary based on the complexity of the project, the number of windows being replaced, and your location. It’s always a good idea to get a few quotes to compare prices and ensure you’re getting the best deal.

Size and Customization

Standard-sized windows are typically less expensive because they are mass-produced. However, if your home has unique window openings or requires custom sizes, the cost will rise. Custom windows are made to fit specific dimensions, and the process of designing and manufacturing them can add to the overall price. Whether you're replacing a large picture window or adding a set of French doors, customization will impact your budget.

Additional Features and Upgrades

Many homeowners choose to add extra features like window grids, tinting, or soundproofing to enhance the look and functionality of their windows. While these upgrades can increase the price, they can also add significant value to your home. If you're upgrading your windows for aesthetic reasons or to improve insulation, these features are worth considering as part of your investment.

Understanding the factors that affect window replacement costs helps you make an informed decision for your home. If you're in the Pleasanton area, reach out to residential painters Pleasanton CA skilled in window replacement for a detailed estimate and professional advice.

For more significant drafts or if you prefer a long-term solution, it may be wise to seek professional help. Here are some options:

Window Replacement: If your windows are old and drafty, replacing them with energy-efficient models can significantly improve your home's insulation and comfort levels.

Aluprof Excel in Passivhaus Projects

Passivhaus design is a set of standards and design principles to achieve exceptional energy efficiency, significantly reducing heating and cooling demands in buildings. By employing rigorous insulation standards, airtight construction and high-performance windows, Passivhaus buildings minimise energy loss and maintain stable indoor temperatures. The use of heat recovery ventilation systems ensures that fresh air is continuously supplied, whilst retaining warmth in winter and coolness in summer. This leads to dramatically lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint. Additionally, the controlled indoor environment enhances occupant comfort, eliminating drafts, temperature fluctuations, and cold bridging.

Specifying Passivhaus windows, doors and facades from Aluprof contributes to sustainability by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and supporting the transition to net-zero carbon emissions. The methodology prioritises efficient use of materials, often incorporating sustainable and recycled options. Beyond environmental benefits, Passivhaus buildings promote superior indoor air quality through continuous ventilation and effective pollutant filtration. This is particularly beneficial for occupants with respiratory issues or allergies. The focus on thermal comfort and noise reduction further enhances the well-being of occupants, making Passivhaus a holistic approach to healthy and sustainable living spaces.

Aluprof was the first systems company in the UK to design and supply Passivhaus certified aluminium framed glazing systems and currently has the widest range of Passivhaus Trust certified aluminium windows, doors and curtain wall systems. Utilising low-carbon aluminium helps reduce embodied carbon emissions during the production phase, while the thermally efficient products further lower operational carbon emissions throughout the building's life by reducing energy demand. Sustainability is further enhanced as quality methods of construction with high quality finishes, well specified and designed products supplied by Aluprof, can offer many decades of extended service life.

Some of the projects supplied by Aluprof in recent years include the following high profile buildings:

The RAD Building (GERA Building) is a 2,500 sqm Passivhaus certified research facility for the University of Nottingham, providing laboratory, office and support accommodation for the UK Government Energy Research Acceleration Initiative, known as the ‘RAD’ Building (Research Acceleration & Demonstration) on the Jubilee campus. The building achieves a BREEAM Excellent rating and includes extensive Passivhaus measures to reduce energy requirements. Aluprof’s high performance TT50 curtain wall & MB104 window and door systems have been used throughout the building offering very high levels of insulation. On completion the building has been extensively tested and has gained the coveted Passivhaus certification.

Purdown View at University of Western England (UWE) Bristol, is a remarkable milestone in sustainable living, featuring more than 900 bedrooms distributed across three striking six-story buildings. With a total floor area of 21,000 sqm, Purdown View is distinguished as the largest certified Passivhaus development in the United Kingdom to date. It was designed by Stride Treglown and uses Aluprof’s high performance TT50 curtain wall & MB104 window and door systems, the project was fabricated and installed by DenvalCo.

The Greenhaus project stands as the largest Passivhaus affordable housing initiative in the North West. The development was completed for the English Cities Fund (ECF), a collaborative effort involving Muse, Legal & General, and Homes England, in partnership with Salix Homes, a Housing Association in Salford, and with the support of Salford City Council. Greenhaus features 96 highly sustainable and affordable residences within a nine-storey structure located on Chapel Street in Salford. The project, designed by Buttress architects and constructed by Eric Wright Construction, has received official certification from the Passivhaus-Institut, the organisation dedicated to promoting and certifying this internationally recognised building standard.

Voreda House in Penrith has undergone a significant transformation from its previous role as an NHS office to become the council's energy-efficient northern anchor building. This facility is notable for being the first retrofit office in the UK to achieve the Passivhaus EnerPHit standard, with projected energy savings of 85%. This initiative aligns with the council's dedication to minimising its carbon footprint and taking a leading role in the pursuit of carbon neutrality.

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) undertakes groundbreaking research and maintains a Research Station located 67º south on Adelaide Island which was established in 1975. Known as Rothera, the busy station is used as a hub for other countries working in the area, offering a landing strip and wharf. The site has continued to develop over the years and in 2018 work began on the new Discovery Building, named to commemorate the discovery of Antarctica 200 years ago by the British naval officer Edward Bransfield in 1820. High thermal performance windows specified on the project have been provided by Aluprof. The MB-86 ST window and door system has been designed to offer outstanding insulation properties. Offered in three varieties, ST, SI and AERO the MB-86 was the first ever aluminium system to employ silica aerogel, a nano-porous material that has a very high proportion of free void volume compared to conventional solid materials. Aerogel’s high pore volume, low solid content, and its ‘torturous path amorphous structure’ offer very low values of thermal conductivity.

Aluprof UK have been supporting specifiers in the UK and Ireland for over fifteen years with advanced systems that include, high performance windows doors and facade systems. Many UK and Ireland based fabricators and installers supply these systems and are on hand to offer surveys and cost analysis as to what improvements can be made with likely paybacks. Further information about systems and specification support is available through the company website at aluprof.co.uk or direct from their UK head office in Altrincham by phoning +44 (0) 161 941 4005.

Common mistakes to avoid during window replacement in Anniston, AL

Replacing windows is one of the most impactful home improvement projects a homeowner can undertake. While a well-executed window replacement can enhance energy efficiency, improve your home's appearance, and boost its value, mistakes during the process can lead to costly and frustrating outcomes. At Vinyl Window Solutions, we’ve encountered many cases where avoidable errors resulted in less-than-ideal results. To help homeowners in Anniston, AL achieve a successful window replacement, we’ve compiled this guide on the most common mistakes to avoid.

Choosing the Wrong Type of Windows

One of the first and most significant mistakes homeowners make is selecting the wrong type of windows for their needs. With so many styles and materials available, it’s important to choose windows that suit both your home’s architecture and your lifestyle.

Neglecting Energy Efficiency: Anniston’s warm summers and cooler winters make energy efficiency a top priority. Selecting windows without features like Low-E glass or double glazing can result in higher energy bills.

Ignoring Climate Compatibility: Materials like wood may not perform as well in Anniston’s humid climate compared to more weather-resistant options like vinyl or fiberglass.

Overlooking Aesthetic Fit: Choosing a style that clashes with your home’s design can hurt curb appeal. For example, sleek modern windows might look out of place on a historic home.

Take the time to research or consult with experts like Vinyl Window Solutions to ensure your selection meets both practical and aesthetic needs.

Skipping Professional Consultation

Another common mistake is attempting to replace windows without consulting a professional. While DIY projects can save money upfront, Window Replacement Anniston AL is a complex process that requires precision.

Improper Measurements: Accurate measurements are essential for a perfect fit. Incorrect dimensions can lead to air leaks, drafts, or even structural damage.

Inexperience with Installation: DIY installation often results in issues like misaligned frames, gaps, or damaged walls.

Ignoring Local Building Codes: Anniston has specific regulations regarding window installation, and non-compliance can result in fines or the need to redo the work.

Working with professionals like Vinyl Window Solutions ensures the job is done right the first time, saving you money and stress in the long run.

Focusing Solely on Price

While budget considerations are important, choosing the cheapest windows or installation service can lead to long-term problems. Low-cost windows often compromise on quality, and a poorly done installation may require costly repairs down the line.

Inferior Materials: Cheaper windows may lack durability, energy efficiency, or aesthetic appeal.

Unqualified Installers: Bargain installation services may cut corners, leading to poorly fitted windows and potential issues with leaks or drafts.

Limited Warranty Coverage: Low-cost products often come with minimal or no warranty, leaving you unprotected in case of defects or damage.

Instead of focusing solely on price, consider the overall value. High-quality windows and professional installation may cost more initially but provide better performance and longevity, making them a worthwhile investment.

Neglecting Energy Efficiency

Energy-efficient windows are essential for reducing utility bills and maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. However, many homeowners overlook this critical aspect during window replacement.

Skipping Energy Star-Certified Windows: These windows are designed to meet stringent efficiency standards, ensuring optimal performance in various climates, including Anniston’s.

Failing to Consider Insulated Frames: Window frames play a significant role in thermal performance. Vinyl and fiberglass frames, for example, offer superior insulation compared to aluminum.

Ignoring the Importance of Double or Triple Glazing: Single-pane windows are inefficient and can lead to significant heat loss or gain.

By prioritizing energy-efficient options, you can lower your monthly utility bills and add long-term value to your home.

Poor Timing for Replacement

Timing plays a significant role in the success of your window replacement project. Many homeowners make the mistake of delaying replacement or scheduling it during inconvenient times.

Waiting Too Long: Old, drafty windows that no longer perform well should be replaced promptly. Delaying the project can result in higher energy bills, moisture damage, or pest problems.

Scheduling During Extreme Weather: Installing windows during heavy rain, extreme heat, or freezing temperatures can complicate the process and lead to improper sealing.

Plan your project during moderate weather conditions to ensure a smooth and efficient installation process.

Not Accounting for Maintenance Needs

When selecting Window Replacement Anniston AL, it’s important to consider the maintenance requirements of different materials. Many homeowners overlook this factor and end up with windows that demand more upkeep than they’re prepared to handle.

Choosing High-Maintenance Materials: Wood windows, for example, require regular painting or sealing to prevent rot and warping, which can be time-consuming and costly.

Ignoring Cleaning Ease: Modern vinyl and fiberglass windows are designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, making them ideal for busy homeowners.

Opt for low-maintenance options like vinyl to save time and effort while still enjoying durable, attractive windows.

Improper Disposal of Old Windows

Failing to properly dispose of old windows is another mistake that can cause headaches during replacement. Some homeowners are unaware of local disposal regulations or overlook the importance of recycling materials.

Illegal Dumping: Anniston has specific rules regarding waste disposal, and improperly discarding old windows can lead to fines.

Missing Recycling Opportunities: Many window components, such as glass and aluminum, can be recycled, reducing waste and environmental impact.

Working with a professional installer ensures that old windows are disposed of responsibly, adhering to local regulations.

Underestimating the Importance of Installation

Even the highest-quality windows won’t perform well if they’re not installed correctly. Many homeowners underestimate the importance of professional installation, leading to problems such as:

Air Leaks and Drafts: Poorly sealed windows allow air to escape, reducing energy efficiency.

Water Damage: Improper installation can result in water leaks, which can damage walls, floors, and insulation.

Reduced Lifespan: Incorrectly installed windows are more prone to wear and tear, shortening their lifespan.

At Vinyl Window Solutions, our expert team ensures precise installation, maximizing the performance and longevity of your replacement windows.

Overlooking Warranty Coverage

Skipping warranty details is another common mistake. A warranty provides peace of mind by covering defects or damage, but many homeowners fail to understand their coverage or choose products with limited warranties.

Not Reading the Fine Print: Ensure you understand what the warranty covers, including installation and material defects.

Choosing Products Without a Warranty: Always opt for windows backed by a reliable warranty to protect your investment.

Forgetting to Match Windows with Home Style

Window replacements should enhance your home’s appearance, but choosing mismatched styles can detract from its overall aesthetic.

Ignoring Architectural Consistency: Ensure your new windows complement your home’s design. For example, casement windows may suit a modern home, while double-hung windows fit a traditional style.

Overlooking Interior Design: Consider how the windows will look from the inside as well. Choose finishes and designs that enhance your interior décor.

Failing to Consider Long-Term Value

Many homeowners focus on immediate needs rather than long-term benefits when choosing replacement windows. This short-sighted approach can lead to missed opportunities for adding value to your home.

Choosing Low-Quality Materials: Investing in durable, energy-efficient windows may cost more upfront but offers better value over time.

Ignoring Resale Potential: High-quality, well-installed windows are a major selling point for potential buyers, increasing your home’s market value.

Conclusion

Window replacement is a significant investment that can dramatically improve your home’s comfort, energy efficiency, and value. However, avoiding common mistakes is key to achieving a successful outcome. By carefully selecting the right windows, prioritizing professional installation, and considering factors like energy efficiency and maintenance, you can ensure your project meets your expectations.

At Vinyl Window Solutions, we’re committed to helping homeowners in Anniston, AL make informed decisions and avoid pitfalls during window replacement.

The Trouble with Drafty and Misty Windows: How to Restore Comfort to Your Home

What Causes Drafty Windows?

Drafty windows occur when air leaks through gaps or cracks in the window frame or seals. These leaks can be caused by aging materials, poor installation, or wear and tear from weather conditions. Drafty windows often lead to higher energy bills as your heating or cooling system has to work harder to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.

Signs of drafty windows include:

Feeling a cold breeze near the windows.

Difficulty maintaining indoor temperature.

Higher-than-normal energy costs.

Addressing drafty windows promptly is crucial to avoid escalating utility bills and potential structural damage to your window frames.

Understanding Misty Windows

misty windows, also known as fogged windows, occur when condensation builds up between the panes of double- or triple-glazed glass. This usually happens when the seal that separates the panes fails, allowing moisture to enter. Not only does this obstruct your view, but it also indicates that your windows are no longer effectively insulating your home.

Common causes of misty windows include:

Seal failure due to age or damage.

Poor manufacturing or installation.

Significant temperature fluctuations that stress the seals.

Misty windows are more than an aesthetic issue. They can lead to further deterioration of the window's insulating properties and even encourage mold growth if left unchecked.

Solutions for Drafty and Misty Windows

Both issues require timely attention to restore your windows to their optimal condition. Here’s how you can tackle them:

Fixing Drafty Windows

Weatherstripping: Adding weatherstripping to window frames can seal small gaps effectively

Caulking: Applying caulk around the window frames can close larger cracks and gaps.

Window Insulation Film: This temporary solution reduces drafts during colder months.

Professional Repairs: If the damage is extensive, calling in professionals to replace seals or refurbish the frame may be the best option.

Resolving Misty Windows

Dehumidifiers: Reducing indoor humidity can prevent condensation, but this won’t resolve existing mist.

Seal Replacement: Professionals can replace the failed seal and restore your window’s efficiency.

Glass Pane Replacement: In some cases, replacing the affected glass panes may be more cost-effective than fixing the seals.

When to Call the Experts

While some quick fixes can temporarily address drafty and misty windows, professional services ensure a long-term solution. Ignoring these issues can lead to increased energy bills, reduced home comfort, and even structural damage to your property.
