What are the
benefits of fitting new PVC windows?
Savings
Windows and doors are the
biggest causes of escaping heat in a home, costing you more
money on heating bills during winter. Double Glazing can
save you money. For example, by replacing your old windows
with our double glazed windows and doors you can save as
much as 14% on your annual bills! More than this, you
will also be reducing your carbon footprint as you use
less energy and reduce the amount of heat escaping into
the atmosphere. So you save money and the planet
too! That's something to feel good about.
Low Maintenance
Unlike many timber windows,
PVC-U windows and doors do not suffer from rot and need
regular patching, filling and re-painting. PVC Windows,
PVC Doors and PVC Conservatories are in fact very low
maintenance, needing little more than a quick wipe over.
Improved security
All our PVC-U window, door and conservatory systems
incorporate extra security features including special
locks, to protect your home. Giving you piece of
mind that you are secure in your home.
Reduced noise
Do you live on a busy street or road? Does passing noise
irritate you? The latest double glazed PVC-U windows can
significantly decrease the amount of noise 'transmitted'
through your windows for a quieter, peaceful home.
Better weather
performance
Modern PVC-U windows are tested to withstand gale force
conditions. This means no more drafts by the curtains or
damp creeping around rotting wooden frames.
Do I need planning permission?
Sometimes (but rarely) planning
permission may be required in order to fit replacement
windows. This is particularly the case in "listed buildings"
and "conservation areas". Also if you are "converting" a
flat window into a "bow" or "bay" window you may need
planning permission. You may also need planning permission
for altering an existing window to a French doors if you
have been in your property for less than 12 months. If
you have any specific concerns, we can discuss them with you
and give you advice on the best way to proceed. You can also
check this your self with the local authority.
If I ask you for a quote, do
I have to pay for it and use you to do the work?
NO (on both parts). We
will provide you with a quote free of charge, if you then
decide that you don't want the work done or choose another
tradesmen, that is you choice.
Do your windows, doors and
conservatories have a guarantee?
Yes. All the windows,
doors and conservatories come with a manufacturers
guarantee, periods vary but are typically a 10 year
guarantee. We will provide specific information on
guarantees provided for the units of your choice before you
buy.
