How long does it take to replace double glazing?

It depends how many windows you’re are replacing as to how long it will take to install as well as the type of window being replaced

On average, each window takes anything from 1.1 to 3 hours to install. The time it takes to install the window will be different depending on the size and type of window.

We use rebated brushes fitted to the top, bottom, midrail and both sides of all installations (all concealed).

  • The most common benefits of new double glazing are:
  • Stylish design
  • A significant increase in the value of your house
  • Energy efficiency and reduced heating bills
  • Heat retention
  • Noise reduction
  • Increased security
  • Reduced condensation

Our windows and doors are guaranteed for 10 years. This is backed up by an insurance backed warranty which will be issued once we register your installation with certass.

We pride ourselves on offering the utmost security for your home, giving you total peace of mind. All of our window installations are incredibly secure, featuring high security locking as standard to keep any would-be intruders at bay. You can put your trust in us to keep your home safe and secure.

Our most efficient double glazing has gas between the panes, but also uses low-emissivity glass (Low-E). This works reflecting sunlight back into a home through a reflective coating set within the glass. This is applied to all glazing units as standard.

No, we only offer an installation service. However, all products are rigorously tested and precision fabricated by industry leaders to meet your exact specifications.

Triple glazing works like double glazing, with the only difference being the addition of one extra layer of glass and inert gas. As expected, this quite simply creates window and door units which are even more resistant to heat transfer. For this reason, triple glazing is generally only recommended to homeowners living in extreme climates where ensuring warmth through winter is more of a struggle.

Most customers in the UK would be better off enhancing the double glazing they already have – through lamination, low-emissivity coatings or increasing the existing glazing gap – than seeking triple glazing.

This all depends on what double glazed windows you decide to go for and their energy efficiency rating, as well as your house size and how you use the heating.

As an average, a property can expect to save around £200 when switching from old single glazed windows to at least B rated double glazing.

Condensation occurs when there is a sudden change in temperatures. Warm air rises, cools and loses its capacity to hold water vapor. In the home, when warm air which is full of moisture comes into contact with a window, that is cooler than it is, the warm air is unable to retain the same amount of moisture causing condensation.

Triple glazing reduces the likelihood of condensation: because it has a lower U-value, which means that there is less of a temperature difference between the glass and other areas of the house. If your home is prone to condensation, then this can be an important factor to take into account.
