Bifold Doors
Our bifold doors offer seamless indoor-outdoor living with low thresholds and slim sightlines. Available in 2-7 panel configurations, they maximise natural light while maintaining thermal efficiency. Crafted from durable aluminium, these doors provide enhanced security and require minimal maintenance. Suitable for both modern and traditional properties.
Conservatories
Custom-designed conservatories create bright, spacious living areas using Ultraframe's market-leading systems. Options include Victorian, Georgian, and lean-to styles with choice of solid tiled or glazed roofs. All structures meet building regulations and offer excellent thermal and acoustic insulation.
hup! Extensions
hup! extensions use thermally efficient Ultrapanels for rapid home expansions. These prefabricated systems achieve A-rated energy efficiency and can transform existing conservatories or create standalone garden rooms. Installation typically completes in days rather than months with minimal disruption.
Casement Windows
Classic casement windows combine traditional aesthetics with modern performance. Available in uPVC and aluminium, they feature multi-point locking systems for security and advanced glazing for noise reduction. Customizable to suit period and contemporary properties alike.
Porch Canopies
UPVC porch canopies add architectural interest while protecting entrances from weather. Available in flat, sloped, or arched designs with over 100 colour options. These low-maintenance structures enhance kerb appeal and provide practical weather protection for residential properties.

We have just had 4 very large and 3 smaller windows and a door installed. The weather was atrocious. Rain and high winds on the first two days. The fitters coped very well and sheeted up to protect our carpets. They were courteous and hard working. I would thoroughly recommend GHW to anyone. From our initial contact with Liam through to the survey carried out by Ashley we were very impressed with the quality of the products and the advise given. We are very pleased with the end result. We had a couple of post installation problems but these were quickly and efficiently resolved. Great after sales

We cannot say enough about the professionalism of Great Harwood Windows Ltd we gave them a huge task with our previous badly fitted conservatory, to the point all the window frames and roof needed to be completely replaced. We did have to wait a while but that was down to deliveries of the frames not GHW but my goodness was it worth it. Adam and Cameron stepped way outside of the box and did a stunning job. They were curtious, hard working and even cleaned up, on the first day they dismantled the old conservatory installed all the frames in terrible weather conditions they stayed in the dark fitting

Completed an e-contact form for someone to call out for a quote, instead I received an email with instructions on how to measure up and send in the details via email.

Thank you to Great Harwood Windows Ltd who have recently replaced my outdated conservatory roof with a new roof. I absolutely love it has transformed the room to be used all year round. The installers worked so hard in torrential rain and snow and never complained and the service was five star in explaining what options I had. Highly recommended I would definitely use again

Brilliant customer service, from Ash doing the initial survey, then Rich & Paddy did a grand job replacing 13 windows and 3 doors, working in freezing temperatures, they were punctual and worked hard to ensure we were left in a secure state at the end of each day. We would have no hesitation recommending GHW.

We had our front door and patio doors replaced recently and the finished product and fitting was excellent. They turned up on time for the appointment and left an excellent finish with no rubbish left etc. Very polite and professional from the start.
