Double Glazing FAQs
What Is Double Glazing?
Double glazing consists of glazing with two layers of glass with a separator/space between them. This reduces heat transfer across a part of the building envelope and therefore increases the overall efficiency of windows, glazed doors and other products that feature windows. This allows you to save money on your energy bills and make a return on your investment.
How Long Does Double Glazing Last?
The length of time that your double-glazing products will last will depend on the materials used. Typical lifespans are as follows:
UPVC – typically lasts for 20 to 35+ years.
Aluminium – typically lasts up to 40 years.
Conservatories – typically last for 20 to 50 years depending on the materials used and maintenance.
How Does Double Glazing Increase Energy Efficiency?
Double glazing is typically used to replace older windows, doors or conservatories. When you carry out this upgrade, you will increase energy efficiency – especially if you are replacing single glazing. When replacing older windows and doors, these become less efficient over time so double glazing increases efficiency when a new window or door is installed.
How Do Double Glazing Products Increase the Value Of My Home?
Double-glazing products are known to increase the overall value of your home as you are investing in security, increased energy efficiency and you are enhancing the look of your property. Replacing sets of windows and doors tends to increase the value overall and conservatories can increase the value of your property by up to 15% depending on the size of the conservatory and the materials used.
How Much Does Investing in Double Glazing Cost?
The amount that your project will cost will depend on factors including the materials used, the amount of products that you install and the size of each product. Not one property or home is the same so we will advise you on costs during your free quote.

Doors FAQs
What are the Benefits of UPVC Doors?
UPVC doors offer a wide range of benefits, especially when they are compared to timber doors:-
- UPVC is a strong material that requires little to no maintenance. Simply clean your doors with a specific door cleaning agent or soap & water. UPVC does not rot and is highly weather-resistant when compared to timber.
- UPVC doors are built with thermal efficiency in mind. Our doors that feature windows are equipped with double or triple glazing – which allows you to save money on your energy bills and make a return on your investment over time.
- UPVC can be recycled indefinitely, making it a sustainable material for use in windows and doors when it’s time to replace your door.
- Your front door is the first thing that people see when entering your home. Investing in a brand-new front door can increase the overall value of your property and make your property more attractive to buyers when it’s time to sell.
What is the Difference Between UPVC and Composite?
Choosing between a UPVC front door and a composite front door is down to your preferences as well as the type of door that you are looking for. We have a wide range of UPVC front doors and composite doors available to suit your needs and we can help you choose the perfect front door for your home.
Composite doors are a stronger compound than UPVC and can have advanced mechanisms installed. They are recommended for front doors if you want to increase the overall security of your home. Both types of doors are highly thermally efficient.
When is it Time to Replace My Current Door or Doors?
There are obvious signs on your door that indicate that it’s time to think about a replacement but some issues are harder to identify than others. Some common issues that you will want to look out for are as follows:
- Timber doors require regular maintenance if they are exposed to the elements otherwise they will rot and suffer environmental damage. If your timber door is showing signs of rotting, pests that have damaged the door or environmental damage then it is time to consider an upgrade.
- Although UPVC and aluminium doors do not rot and resist environmental damage – they can still become damaged over time. Check for buckling around the frame of your door and ensure that no draughts are coming into your house.
- If your door is approaching the end of its lifespan – then you may want to consider investing in a new door. Doors become less efficient over time so if you find that your doors are becoming less efficient – the money that you save on energy bills makes a new door a sensible investment.
How Long Will My New UPVC Door Last?
Your new UPVC door will last 20+ years or more – which returns your investment in terms of reducing your energy bills. Combining new UPVC doors with UPVC windows and insulation can make a large reduction in your energy bills. Combining this with other investments in your home can reduce your energy bills and reduce your environmental impact. UPVC is a 100% recycled material – which means that your door can be recycled when it needs to be replaced.
What Colours Are Available for My UPVC Door?
We offer a colour match service on our UPVC doors to ensure that you can match your desired colour and finish. This allows you to match the style and colour of your UPVC door to your property. This is especially important for your front door as this is the first thing that people will notice when entering your home.

Which Material Should I Choose For My New Windows?
The main materials that are used for home improvement and that we offer for windows are UPVC and aluminium. UPVC windows and aluminium aluminium have different stylistic features and benefits, so the choice comes down to personal preference.
Aluminium windows are slimmer and come available in different colours and finishes. They typically last longer than UPVC windows but tend to be more expensive. They are perfectly suited for modern and traditional homes. They require little maintenance and resist elemental damage and do not rot. Aluminium is the most recycled material on the planet and is 100% recyclable. Aluminium is highly durable and resists elemental damage, making it the perfect choice for replacement windows. Your preference to style as well as budget will determine which window material of window is best for you.
UPVC windows are the most popular style due to their low maintenance requirements, high versatility, wide range of colour options and styling as well as being more affordable than other materials. They are also able to match the style of both traditional and new-build properties with ease. UPVC windows are the most common choice when replacing windows and UPVC is 100% recyclable as a material.
Should I Upgrade Timber Frame Windows?
Timber is used as a material for its traditional and elegant aesthetic. Timber frame windows typically last from 20 to 85 years but this massively depends on the maintenance that is carried out on the windows over this time period.
Timber requires extensive maintenance, treatment and inspections to ensure that the window frame has not become compromised or damaged over time. If maintenance hasn’t taken place, it’s highly recommended to replace your timber frame windows with replacement windows if maintenance has not been carried out on the windows as this can lead to the threat of break-ins or structural failure of the window entirely.
Do New Windows Require Planning Permission and Building Regulations?
New windows often do not require planning permission if you are replacing your window with a new window that is similar or the same size. You may require planning permission for buildings that are within conservation areas or in certain areas of your property and we will advise you on this during your free quote. Building regulations apply and we will handle this process for you on your behalf during the project.
When is it Time to Replace Old Windows?
Physical issues – you can see that your window is visibility damaged which could lead to structural damage and other issues. If it’s difficult to open your window or operate the mechanism then this could mean that you need an upgrade as some issues can be very difficult to repair. This may also put the security of your home at risk if the locking mechanisms aren’t working correctly.
Condensation within the glass – this indicates issues with the seals which will likely lead to the window having to be replaced. This can cause water to build up in and around the window which can cause damage as well as mould.
Draughts when the window is shut – this is also an indicator of damage to the seals which will require a replacement window. Your window will be letting heat escape as well as cold air in. Replacing your window with a fully efficient UPVC or aluminium window will decrease the amount you spend on energy bills.
How Much Does it Cost to Replace Old Windows?
This will depend on many factors such as the materials that you choose for your windows, the number of windows that you choose to install as well as the size of your windows. Each property is different and therefore costs will vary. We will advise you on the cost of your project during your initial free quote and provide you with an accurate quotation.
Can New Windows Increase the Overall Value Of My Property?
New windows are known to increase the overall value of your property once installed. This is because you are investing in making your property more stylish, more secure and more thermally efficient. This saves money on energy bills and makes the property more attractive when it’s time to sell your property.
Conservatories, composite doors, UPVC and aluminium doors are also known to increase the overall value of properties after installation for the same reasons. Combining all of these can add significant value and appeal.
