Which window gives me a better energy rating?
uPVC windows typically offer better energy ratings because their multi-chambered frames insulate naturally and can reach A+ or higher. Aluminium can also be efficient with modern thermal breaks, but uPVC generally provides lower heat loss. Your choice depends on whether maximum insulation or slim, modern design matters most for your home.
Do I need planning permission to change my windows?
You usually don’t need planning permission to replace windows on a house if they’re similar in style and size. Permission is required for flats, listed buildings, conservation areas, or major design changes. Adding new openings or altering window sizes also needs approval. Always check local council rules before starting or alternatively ask our expert sales team for advice.
What are U-values when talking about windows?
U-values measure a window’s insulation, showing how much heat passes through it. Lower U-values indicate better thermal performance, reducing heat loss, energy bills, and drafts. Factors affecting U-values include glazing type, gas fills, Low-E coatings, frame material, and seals. Triple-glazed, insulated frames achieve the lowest, most energy-efficient U-values.
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.
