How do I know when I should replace my windows?
Common signs include condensation between double glazed panes, drafts, outside noise, difficulty opening or locking the windows, and damaged or deteriorating frames. Replacing old windows can improve energy efficiency, security, and comfort.
What are U-Values?
A U-value measures how effectively a window retains heat. The lower the U-value, the better the thermal efficiency and insulation performance of the window. Modern energy-efficient windows are designed to meet low U-value standards to help reduce heat loss and improve home comfort.
What is the difference between PVC, PVCu, and uPVC?
There is no real difference between PVC, PVCu, and uPVC. They all refer to Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride, a durable, low-maintenance material commonly used for modern windows and doors due to its strength, energy efficiency, and weather resistance.
What are secondary windows?
Secondary windows are an added layer of glazing installed inside existing windows, improving insulation, reducing noise, enhancing security, and cutting condensation. They are cost-effective, minimally disruptive, and ideal for older or listed homes where full window replacement isn’t possible, offering many benefits of double or triple glazing without altering the exterior.
