Premium uPVC windows typically last 25-40 years with proper maintenance, while aluminium windows can endure for 40 years or more due to their robust, corrosion-resistant construction. Composite doors are engineered for exceptional longevity, often lasting 35+ years without warping, cracking, or fading.

Absolutely. We offer extensive customization options to match your home's architectural style and personal preferences. Choose from a wide palette of colours including traditional white, elegant anthracite grey, sophisticated black, natural woodgrain effects, and contemporary dual-colour finishes where the exterior and interior colours differ.

Yes, modern replacement windows dramatically reduce winter heat loss through multiple advanced technologies. Low-E glass coatings minimize thermal transfer, while warm-edge spacer bars between glass panes prevent cold bridging. Multi-chambered uPVC or thermally broken aluminium frames create insulation barriers that keep warmth inside where it belongs.

Double glazing features two panes of glass separated by a spacer bar and gas-filled cavity, typically 16-20mm wide, providing excellent insulation for most UK homes. Triple glazing adds a third pane of glass and an additional cavity, creating two insulating chambers that further enhance thermal performance and sound reduction.

Security is paramount in all our window and door designs. Every product features multi-point locking systems with hooks, bolts, and deadlocks that engage at multiple points around the frame, making forced entry extremely difficult. We use toughened safety glass or laminated security glass that resists impact and holds together even when broken.

Reinforced frames with internal steel or aluminium cores, anti-drill and anti-pick cylinder locks, and hinge protectors provide comprehensive protection against common break-in methods. Many of our products are certified to PAS 24 security standards and meet Secured by Design (SBD) requirements—police-approved specifications that reduce burglary risk by up to 75%. Our composite doors achieve Secured by Design approval with 44mm thick solid cores and external laminated skins.

Professional installation typically takes 1-2 days for a complete house of standard-sized windows, though the exact timeline depends on your property size, the number of units being replaced, and access considerations. A single window replacement can often be completed in 2-4 hours, while full window and door replacements for an average three-bedroom home usually require 2-3 days.

Modern energy-efficient windows significantly reduce condensation problems through improved thermal performance. Older windows with cold glass surfaces cause warm indoor air to cool rapidly, creating condensation. New double or triple-glazed units maintain warmer interior glass temperatures, preventing moisture from forming on window surfaces.

We provide comprehensive warranties covering all aspects of your investment. Our manufacturer guarantees typically include 10-year insurance-backed warranties on frames, hardware, and glazed sealed units, protecting you against manufacturing defects, seal failure, discolouration, and mechanical failures.
