Double Glazing
Double glazing improves energy efficiency by trapping a layer of air between two panes of glass, reducing heat loss and external noise. Our installations enhance home security, lower energy bills, and comply with British Standards. Customers benefit from tailored solutions, including uPVC, aluminium, or wooden frames, with options for low-emissivity or tinted glass to suit diverse aesthetic and functional needs.
Conservatories
We design and install bespoke conservatories in styles such as Edwardian, Victorian, and lean-to, using aluminium or uPVC for durability and thermal efficiency. These structures add living space, natural light, and property value. Our team ensures compliance with building regulations, offering customisation options like self-cleaning glass, insulation upgrades, and seamless integration with existing architecture for year-round usability.
Secondary Glazing
Secondary glazing involves adding an extra pane to existing windows, improving insulation and reducing noise pollution without replacing the original frames. Ideal for listed buildings or conservation areas, this cost-effective solution retains historical aesthetics while enhancing energy efficiency. We provide hinged, sliding, or fixed units tailored to window type, with options for 3mm or 4mm glass to optimise thermal and acoustic performance.
Composite Doors
Our composite doors combine uPVC, wood, and glass-reinforced plastic for superior strength and insulation. Available in custom colours and finishes, they feature multi-point locking systems for enhanced security. These doors resist fading and warping, offering long-term durability and improved thermal efficiency. Installation includes precise fitting to ensure draught-proof seals and compliance with Secured by Design standards.
UPVC Windows
uPVC windows provide a cost-effective, durable solution with minimal upkeep. Available in casement, tilt-and-turn, or vertical sliding designs, they offer excellent insulation and security features like reinforced frames and anti-lock bumping mechanisms. We supply and install energy-efficient models that reduce heating costs and enhance property aesthetics, backed by warranties for long-term peace of mind.
Questions
How does double glazing improve energy efficiency?
Double glazing traps air between two panes, reducing heat loss in winter and external heat in summer, lowering energy bills.
What types of double glazing glass are available?
Options include clear, low-emissivity (Low-E), and tinted glass, with Low-E reflecting heat back into the home.
Are there regulations for double glazing installations?
Yes, installations must meet regional building regulations for energy efficiency and safety standards.
How much can I save on energy bills with double glazing?
Savings average up to 20% annually on heating costs, depending on existing insulation levels.

Yes, the warmer internal pane temperature minimises condensation compared to single-glazed windows.
Is secondary glazing suitable for listed buildings?
Yes, it preserves exterior aesthetics while improving insulation without altering original windows.

Had a side door removed and replaced and we were really happy with the service and quality of door. Fitting was quick and straight forward and we are happy with the finish. Reasonably priced and would use again. We opted for a composite door in green and so far are very happy with it.

We had full window and door replacement,
from the initial consultation with Adrian through to the window installation, windows world couldnt have been more helpful, kept us fully informed with the production times etc, and considering we were dealing with a World wide pandemic the turn around was faster than expected. Windows and door look absolutely amazing, fitting was mess free, and the gentleman who fitted the windows were professional and polite. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for windows and doors.

Customer after service appalling, you call there office, they never get back to you regarding your complaint. I have had ongoing problems with my bifold doors since installed in 2018, now considering changing them with another company even though there suppose to have a 10 guarantee.

Poor company. I held back 500 of a 5k job because i wasn't happy with a few bits with the full intention of paying when problems were rectified. They turned up telling me to pay the money now or they would take the front door off. A year later when i was getting some work done which exposed the ceiling, it revealed they had sawn through a joist when fitting the front door...we invited them out to show them. They turned up but never heard from them again. Don't fall for the charms of the salesman. Never heard from him again once problems occured. The owner said, 'how was he supposed to know
