Glazing

In 1984, our uPVC double glazing was created and this quickly became the window of choice for the UK. The primary benefit of double glazing is thermal insulation – to retain heat in a room whilst stopping cold air entering from outside to make the room more energy-efficient. When we install insulation measures, we will paint any areas that will be affected during our work to make good to the existing finish. If, for example, your windows are decorated to a specific colour, we will need details of your paint finish so that we can match it.

Deposits start from £249 for windows and doors (excluding timber windows and doors which start from £999), Rooftrim and garage doors, or £999 for living spaces. We are able manufacture flyscreen lift out panels or integrated flyscreens within our secondary glazing units, to provide year round benefits. This type of glass has become standard in everything from car windscreens to telephone boxes, and double glazing that uses toughened glass provides a vastly safer and more secure option.
So, the Argon layer transfers less of the temperature difference to the internal pane of glass which remains at a median temperature between the Argon glass and the room. Being much stronger but softer than glass, plexiglas can get scuffed by abrasives. However, scuffs can be polished out and, in our experience of fitting over 1,000 windows, we find that in normal use CosyGlazing does not scuff. Unlike early forms of perspex, plexiglass is fully UV-proof and carries a 30-year manufacturer’s guarantee against UV damage. Most period homes have specific hardware such as monkey tail or pig tail catches and stays, and particular locks etc. We usually replace your original hardware with a like-for-like but modified alternative to meet the crafted CosyGlazing panel.

Orders with optional extras or cut-to-shape pieces can take longer.Where possible, we will let you know if something is going to take longer than expected. There are a number of reasons why DIY secondary glazing is a great investment. Frames and their material play a key role in the performance of glazing systems. The many layers make breaking the glass difficult, so your property is better protected against break-ins. For more information, or to book in an installation with our team, all you have to do is give us a call.

Lastly, consider only replacing the most inefficient windows first to spread costs over time. Be aware that TGAS’s decision is legally binding, meaning you won’t be able to proceed to court action if you’re unhappy with the outcome of arbitration. If you feel these criteria haven’t been met, your installer is required to put things right. However, it is up to the company to decide whether to repair them or provide replacements, and they will generally choose the cheaper of the two options. These are the steps your double glazing installer will take when putting in your new windows.

UK building regulations require that all new windows be at least C-rated. Most double glazing companies have developed units with different levels of energy efficiency, some as high as A++, allowing you to choose the best option for your home and your wallet. Many homeowners are installing replacement windows to help reduce their heating bills as the cost of living crisis is still impacting household budgets. When planning home improvements, it’s wise to consider return on investment, as the right windows can lower heating bills and improve comfort. Triple glazing offers better insulation than double glazing, potentially cutting heating costs further.

But where we are required to, we can usually modify the original hardware where it is essential to the listing of the property. There are of course some situations where this is not possible and your surveyor can advise you accordingly. With those aims in mind, along with our mission to be as environmentally friendly as possible, we created CosyGlazing, our advanced secondary glazing system. Once you’ve chosen the quote that best matches your budget and vision of how your new windows will look, below are the things to remember as your installation progresses.
