Joe Public's information on double glazing, replacement windows, doors and conservatories, tips and advice on buying double glazing in the uk.

"After hearing of my friends and colleagues difficulties when buying double glazing, and about to purchase double glazing myself,
I realised that there is an awful lot of information and mis-information about double glazing or
plastic windows and conservatories.

Its probably one of the biggest home purchases home owners will make so it needs to be right. I have tried to include every scrap of information I could find about double glazed windows and doors and conservatories on this site to help you make an informed choice.

My grateful thanks to all those companies and sites that have provided the information and inspiration for my own efforts."

Windows
Research shows the three most important influences on consumer choice are Design, Security and Price.

1. Choose the Right Design for your home
Careful design selection will enhance the value of your home.

Window design has improved dramatically in recent years but there are still many companies selling ugly chunks of plastic designed twenty years ago!

The very best companies will offer you a wide range of designs; with colour choices, decorated glass, leaded glass, quality handle finishes and opening options. A first class wood effect finish is almost impossible to differentiate from real timber and it can add a real touch of class to your home.

Why not carry out your own research by looking at other homes in your area to get a feel for the designs that enhance properties like yours?

Choose the right design for your replacement windows and double glazing

2. Security
With an internally glazed window, glass is inserted into the window frame from inside your home, making it very difficult to remove by forced entry. An externally glazed window will be just as secure if it is installed with security clips to permanently fix the glass into the frame.

A good Upvc window system will have many in-built security features that are impossible to achieve with timber. Make sure that you have a multi-point locking system where the opening window locks into the frame at the top, side and bottom. Some companies will even offer a security guarantee against forced entry through their window locking system.

3. Price
The wide variety of designs and specifications available make it difficult to compare like-for-like prices. The price of similar designs may also be affected by installation costs, for example, it is easier and cheaper to fit windows into a modern bungalow than into a stone built Victorian house on a hillside!
