Glass gives the light and stops the elements from spoiling your day! Most common is double glazing but triple glazing is available with up-to-date specifications that improve the glass thermal ability. More rooflights are being fitted onto flat roof extensions. These can be walk-on, flat onto kerb up-stands or raised double hip. Where you need a safety barier we have different types of balustrades and juliet balconies on offer.
We will give you an Insurance backed Guarantee for all replacement windows, doors, conservatories and roof-lights.

The early aluminium frames had no thermal barrier, these would condensate easily in the winter months and also required a timber subframe for strength.
The second-generation aluminium showed a marked improvement in the insulation by the insertion of a 'resin' thermal break.
Imagine a window cut in two down through itself so that half fell inside and half outside, now bring those halves back together and bond them with a resin that stops the outer aluminium touching the inner; that is how the thermal barrier works.

It can be painted and incorporate draught excluder.
Normally fitted with cockspur type handles the glass units are fitted from the outside; even so, the window is extremely secure.
The purpose of a window is to provide light and ventilation into a building.
Glass has to be fixed into a frame.
Early frames were steel and timber and latterly aluminium and plastic.
These frames have been developed to take double glazed units and sophisticated locking systems producing a finished product that is elegant, practical and efficient at keeping heat in and the cold and rain out.

In years gone by the timber used for windows and doors would be dried the appropriate length of time and frame cills would be of oak.
These would of course have the correct layers of paint and you would not be surprised to see those same frames in their original openings 100-years later!
A lot of rubbish timber windows have been produced over the last 40-years, due mainly to the demand generated by the birth of the double glazing companies.
However, that trend is receding and quality double glazed timber products are now being produced and designed for the British market.

This is a European style opener.
It is used in mainly commercial contracts where larger opening windows are required.
Its main drawback is that it opens inwards, something we would prefer not to do as it scatters orniments and gets caught on the curtains!
The mechanisum fits on all sides of the opener tucked away inside and hidden from view.
The single handle has two opening positions.
In the first, the window is hinged from the bottom and tilts-in about 5 inches aopens t the top; the second position allows the opener to hinge on the side and fully opens-in without restriction.
