Aluminium Windows
Our aluminium windows combine sleek modern design with exceptional thermal performance. Engineered for durability, these windows resist corrosion and require minimal maintenance while offering slim sightlines for maximum natural light. Available in a range of RAL colours, they suit both contemporary and traditional properties. The advanced glazing systems ensure energy efficiency, reducing heating costs and noise pollution for a more comfortable living environment.
Conservatory Refurbishments
Transform outdated conservatories with our comprehensive refurbishment solutions. We replace inefficient roofs with insulated alternatives, install energy-saving windows, and upgrade doors to enhance usability year-round. Our work eliminates common issues like overheating and poor insulation, converting underused spaces into functional living areas. The process includes structural assessments to ensure compliance with current building regulations.
Roof Lanterns
Add natural light to kitchens, hallways, or extensions with our custom-designed roof lanterns. Constructed from thermally efficient aluminium frames and double-glazed units, these structures prevent heat loss while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Available in pyramid, flat, or geometric styles, they create a striking architectural feature that enhances property value and interior ambiance.
Composite Doors
Our composite doors offer superior security with multi-point locking systems and reinforced frames, while maintaining the visual appeal of traditional timber. The GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) outer skin resists warping and fading, eliminating the need for regular painting or staining. Insulated cores improve energy efficiency, making them a cost-effective upgrade for enhanced home security and thermal performance.
Verandas
Extend living spaces with our bespoke verandas featuring low-maintenance aluminium frames and toughened glass panels. Designed for year-round use, these structures provide weather protection while maintaining unobstructed views of gardens. The modular system allows custom configurations to match property architecture, with optional guttering and post designs to complement existing exterior features.

Caused burn damage to our conservatory carpet during the replacement of our conservatory roof. Unfortunately they refused to accept responsibility for this damage and will not reply to my emails. Very disappointing after sales service. I will be taking this up with the consumer protection association.

The description of the work carried out by your company that you have provided here is not accurate. The removal of the existing roof was undertaken by your install team using power hacksaws as they needed to cut through the heavy duty bolts and screws which fixed the roof together

Excellent non-pushy and knowledgeable salesman in Bruce at the shop in Rochford, consultation was excellent regarding the design and fitting. Guys who did the install did a first-class job and we can't find fault with anything at all, very pleased.

I highly recommend Carter Glass Double Glazing. They are an all round "quality" firm, in my opinion. Their doors and windows are excellent and good value for money. Everyone on the team has been a pleasure to deal with and the installers were some of the tidiest workmen I have used. We did our homework before selecting Carter Glass and certainly made the right choice. They are brilliant.

Absolutely first class. We've just had our entire house reglazed with the Signature range of doors and windows and noticed the benefits immediately in terms of heat and sound insulation. The workmen were exceptionally clean and tidy ... and even touched up a bit of my own DIY ... well worth the cost of the odd bacon sandwich and cups of tea!!! :-)
Price wise, everything was more than competitive and a lot less cheaper than the larger local companies. We were concerned about having everything done in January because of the weather, but the efficiency of the guys installing the windows meant
