BUYERS GUIDE

Choosing the right materials

Depending on the style of your home, you may wish to decide between the following materials for your new windows.

UPVC Windows

High quality, durable UPVC windows are by the far the most popular choice for modern homes. Offering the ideal combination of design appeal, security and performance, you can rest assured that your new windows will provide you with many years of comfort, safety and enjoyment.

Timber

 If you are looking for a more traditional look, timber is an excellent choice, but it can be costly. You also need to consider the need for ongoing maintenance and wood care to keep your timber looking at its best.

Aluminium

 If you are looking for maximum lighting, aluminium windows provide thinner frames, allowing for larger glass panels. They are also extremely durable and require little maintenance.

Casement Windows

Watch your profits increase and your value rise as you boost efficiency. It’s easier than you think. 


Selecting Your Glazing Options

You may think that choosing your glass is the easy part, but there are in fact a wide range of options available.

Single Glazing

This is often required in traditional homes where planning or conversation regulations must be adhered to. There can be significant heat loss with this option, so it is sensible to consider secondary insulation alongside for greater efficiency.

Double glazing

This is the most popular choice and is the standard specification for new windows. We pride ourselves on delivering A+ rated double glazing, ensuring that your home remains warm, comfortable and safe.

Triple glazing

This option is ideal for reducing the effect of outside noise and certainly retains the heat more effectively than double glazing. If your home is situated near busy roads, train lines or perhaps is in the centre of town, triple glazing could help to significantly reduce outside noise, helping you to relax in a peace!

Secondary glazing

When single glazing is required, secondary glazing can help to tackle noise and heat loss, whilst adding additional security.

Low Iron Glass

Panes are clearer which helps to bring more light to the room.

Security Glass

Opt for thicker, toughened or laminated glass for greater security. It is also a requirement for low-set windows.

Noise-Reducing Glass

Helps to reduce the presence of external noise.

Privacy glass

A range of designs and patterns are available to help create additional privacy for bathrooms and other areas of the home.


Design Decisions

Although the most common choice for homes is casement windows, there are several options available,

depending on style and practical considerations.
