Securing Funds for Your Double Glazing Project

We appreciate that funding a new double-glazing project for your Wanstead home isn’t always the cheapest thing to do. That’s why we offer several finance options to our customers to help them achieve their double glazing dreams.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Double or Triple-glazing Increase The Value Of My Home?

Yes, both double and triple glazing will increase home value by improving energy efficiency and security and reducing noise, making your property more attractive to buyers.

What Does U-Value Mean?

U-Value is the measure of the rate of heat transfer through a building element. This value proves how well an element is an insulator. Expressed in W/m2K, the lower the U-value, the better the insulation and therefore, less heat will escape in the Winter.

Will Double Glazing Improve Energy Efficiency?

Double glazing significantly improves a property’s energy efficiency, reducing heat loss and minimising heat gain. With an insulating barrier, your home will be warmer, and you will reduce your energy consumption. Less energy consumption lowers your utility costs.

Is Double Glazing Easy To Maintain?

Double glazing is easy to maintain. Regular cleaning with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth, and lubrication of moving parts, is all that is required. With this simple care, you can prevent condensation, seal failures and ensure smooth operation for many years.

Are Double Glazed Windows Secure?

Yes, modern double-glazed windows are very secure. The toughened glass and the multi-point locking systems, commonly included with double-glazed products, deter burglars. The dual-pane construction of double-glazed windows makes them significantly harder to break and pry open than older single-pane windows. This offers significant impact resistance and better home security.

Should Double-Glazed Windows Get Condensation?

Double-glazed windows can form condensation; however, whether it is a problem depends on where the condensation occurs.

External condensation means your windows are highly efficient, whereas internal room-side condensation indicates high indoor humidity or poor ventilation. However, condensation between the two panes suggests a failed seal, and so your double-glazed windows require expert attention.

How Does Double Glazing Work?

Double glazing consists of two panes of glass, separated by a spacer bar and a sealed, narrow air or gas-filled gap. This acts as an insulating barrier, dramatically reducing the heat lost through conduction and convection. This will also keep the heat outside during the summer and reduce noise.

What Do Window Energy Ratings Mean?

Window energy ratings measure the thermal efficiency of windows on a scale of E to A++, with A++ being the most efficient. These ratings will help you understand how well your new windows will retain heat and prevent draughts. Similar to appliance labels, they let you compare energy-saving potential, with higher ratings resulting in warmer homes and lower energy costs.

What Is A FENSA Certificate For Windows?

A FENSA certificate is an official document that verifies that the replacement windows installed in your home comply with UK Building Regulations, meet energy efficiency standards and are registered with the local council. This certificate is crucial for compliance when selling your property, as it proves that a FENSA-registered installer has carried out the work.

What Are The Benefits of Double Glazing?

Double-glazed windows offer significant benefits, including improved energy efficiency through reduced heat loss, which lowers energy bills. This improves home comfort thanks to better thermal insulation, reduces outside noise, and enhances security with stronger panes that are harder to break.

Should I Replace All Windows And Doors At Once?

Yes, replacing all windows and doors at once is recommended to achieve maximum energy efficiency, consistent aesthetics, and lower labour costs.

Will Double-Glazed Windows Help Me Soundproof My Home?

Double-glazed windows will significantly reduce the outdoor noise in your home. Whilst they are not completely soundproof, you’ll notice the difference when upgrading from older windows or single-glazing. This is thanks to the two panes of glass, the sound-dampening gap between them, and the tightly sealed frames.

How Do I Know If I Need To Repair or Replace My Windows?

There are several window issues that indicate it’s time to repair or replace your windows. If your windows are difficult to open, have minor air leaks, or are starting to chip, a repair may be cost-effective. Simple fixes such as replacing weatherstripping, caulking, or swapping out broken hardware can extend the life of your windows. However, fogging between double glazing indicates a failed seal. While the glass unit can sometimes be replaced, this is often a sign that the window’s insulating properties are compromised.

If you’ve noticed your windows rotting or experiencing drafts around the frame, the structural integrity of the windows has been compromised, likely meaning that a replacement is necessary. You may also notice higher energy bills, another sign that your windows aren’t performing as they should.

Modern, highly efficient windows should pay for themselves from the comfort and long-term savings you’ll enjoy from installing them.

What Should Double Glazing Be Cleaned With?

It’s recommended that you clean your double glazing with mild soap using a damp soft cloth to avoid scratching. Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, bleach, or solvent-based cleaners, as these can all permanently damage the glass and surrounding surfaces.

How Long Does Double Glazing Last?

Double glazing typically lasts between 20 and 35 years, which has significantly improved over the years.

What Are The Signs of Failing Double Glazing?

You can tell if your double glazing is failing by noticing condensation between the two panes of glass, as well as visible draughts, and rising energy bills. You may also notice that your windows are tougher to open and close, that excessive exterior noise is making its way into your home, and that water is leaking around the frame.

How Should I Maintain The Functionality Of Double Glazing?

To maintain the functionality of your double glazing, ensure regular cleaning, lubricate moving parts, clear drainage slots, manage condensation, and inspect seals and gaskets for damage. Performing these maintenance tasks every 3-6 months, say in Spring and Autumn, can extend the life of your windows and doors.

Can I Get Double-Glazed Windows and Doors in Different Colours?

Yes, double-glazing windows and doors are available in various colours. We offer a wide range of colours and finishes to create the perfect windows and doors to match the aesthetics of your home, and the colours of other aspects of your property, to create a harmonious look.

Which Material Is Best For Double-Glazed Windows?

There are various material options available for double-glazed windows.

uPVC is a popular choice, offering excellent thermal insulation, affordability and zero maintenance without the risk of rot or warping.

Aluminium is exceptionally durable and strong, allowing for larger, slimmer frames. Modern aluminium has thermal breaks to improve energy efficiency, though it often costs more than uPVC.

Timber & wooden frames create a suitable look for period properties; however, they require significant maintenance and upkeep and have a higher initial investment. You will need to frequently sand and paint your wooden windows to prevent decay, which is why homeowners often choose uPVC or Aluminium.

Which Material Is Best For A Front Door?

Front doors are available in a variety of materials, including uPVC and composite.

Composite front doors offer superior security, durability and insulation compared to uPVC, typically with a longer lifespan and a timber-like appearance. However, uPVC is cheaper, lightweight and low-maintenance, making it an excellent budget-friendly option.

Will Any Window or Door Style Fit In My Home?

Technically, you can install almost any window or door style in your home, but the real question is whether you should from an aesthetic and structural standpoint. Mismatched windows and doors can feel off, which is why a wide variety of styles and finishes are available so you can choose the perfect ones for your home and overall aesthetic.

It’s also important to consider that if you live in a conservation area or a listed building, you will be legally restricted to particular window styles and configurations.

Are Modern Windows and Doors Environmentally Friendly?

Modern windows and doors are considerably more environmentally friendly than older models. They have superior energy efficiency, reducing your household’s carbon footprint, thanks to improved insulation and construction from recyclable uPVC or aluminium.

Does uPVC Discolour?

Older or low-quality uPVC frames are susceptible to ageing, which causes them to turn yellow from prolonged UV exposure. However, modern, high-quality uPVC frames are UV-resistant and will retain their colour.

Are Double-Glazed Windows Difficult To Break Into?

Double-glazed windows are significantly harder to break into than single-pane windows. This makes them a strong deterrent against burglary. The two panes of glass and the vacuum-sealed layer of air or gas act as a shock absorber, withstanding significant force.

Breaking double-glazed windows makes a lot of noise, alerting those around to the disturbance.

How Long Will Installing Double Glazing In My Home Take?

The installation time for your new windows and doors will depend on the number, size, and type of windows we are installing. Our team will advise you on the window replacement timeframe so you can prepare.

Do I Need Planning Permission To Replace My Double Glazing?

Replacing your existing windows with double-glazed windows will typically not require planning permission. However, you must ensure compliance with local building regulations for thermal performance, and listed buildings have stricter rules for window replacements.

Must Double-Glazed Windows Meet Building Regulations?

All replacement double-glazed windows and external doors must meet building regulations. This has been in place since April 2002, and requires doors and windows to meet strict standards for energy efficiency, safety, and fire safety. Working with a FENSA-certified installer will ensure your windows and doors align with current Building Regulations.

Do French Doors Require Planning Permission?

You typically do not need planning permission to install French doors when the work aligns with Permitted Development rights, such as replacing existing doors or windows at the rear of the house.

Planning permission may be necessary if you live within a conservation area, a listed building, or if you plan to change the building’s exterior appearance significantly.

Regardless of whether or not you need planning permission, you’ll usually need building regulations approval to install new doors, especially if you wish to enlarge an existing opening.

Is A FENSA Certificate Required For French Doors?

You must receive a FENSA certificate once your French doors have been installed, to prove that the work meets building regulations for thermal efficiency and safety. Once you come to sell your property later, having a FENSA certificate means that you are less likely to need an indemnity policy or a retrospective ‘Building Regulation Compliance Certificate’.

Your installer should be able to provide you with a FENSA certificate once the work is complete.

What Are The Planning Laws Surrounding Conservatories?

As long as your conservatory meets the right criteria, you shouldn’t need Building Regulations approval to replace a conservatory roof. This means that your conservatory must be separated from the main house by external-quality walls and/or windows and doors, and it must have an independent heating system with a separate on/off and temperature controls from the main house’s heating system.

As long as your conservatory meets the above requirements, once the roof has been replaced, you’ll be good to proceed without Building Regulations approval.

However, it’s always recommended that you check with your local planning authority to be sure that the work you have planned doesn’t require any further approval before you start any building work.
