People will often colloquially refer to replacement windows as "double glazing" so it is not too far fetched to be a little confused as to what the term really means.
Essentially, the difference between double and triple glazing is quite simple, it just refers to how many panes of glass are being used in the glazed unit.
Double glazing is two panes of glass, Triple glazing is three panes of glass.
Do I need double or triple glazing you may be thinking?
Replacing your old window frames for new will often drastically upscale and improve the energy efficiency within your home. Reducing draughts and providing greater thermal efficiency with our A-rated glass units (as standard). These units are coated with an invisible film on the inside pane which reflects internal heat energy - sending it back inside the property. Instead of letting it leak through the glass!
So with this in mind, the upgrade provided by double glazing is often enough to feel a noticeable difference after you have your windows replaced.
However, if ultra-performance is your goal then choosing triple glazing will provide that extra boost you are looking for. Keeping your home warmer for less, by ultimately reducing the cost it takes to heat your household.

All of our windows carry an A+ energy rating, ensuring a very high level of energy efficiency.
What are the energy ratings and what requirements are there for new windows?
Energy ratings are a simple and easy way for you to quickly identify and compare how energy efficient a replacement window system is.
There are several energy rating schemes, the most common is operated by the British Fenestration Rating Council, which we use to allocate our energy rating.
The latest Building Regulations require that all newly installed windows must meet the requirements of a C rating. The exception to this is windows fitted into listed buildings.

Installing a window with a higher standard of energy efficiency allows you to save more money on your heating and energy bills. This is because it will cost less money to maintain the temperature of your home.
The way this works is twofold:
Firstly, the latest technology in the manufacturing process ensures that our window frames are made to be draught proof, weathertight and thermally preservative.
Secondly, we install A-rated energy glass units, which are coated with an invisible film on the inside pane which reflects internal heat energy - sending it back inside the property. Instead of letting it leak through the glass!
With this in mind, replacing your old double glazing can be seen as an investment in your household. As the reduction in your energy bills will pay dividends over time.

All of our windows, whether in uPVC or Aluminium are available in a wide variety of colours, meaning you can tailor your windows to match your design aesthetic.
We can manufacture windows to match any RAL colour swatch, just bear in mind that custom colours do come with a slightly higher price tag.
Picking a conventional colour is the cheaper option, and the available colours for each window can be found near the bottom of each relevant web page.
