Energy efficient replacement windows Leicester - what’s it about?

July 20th, 2010

Double Glazed, Triple Glazed and Energy Ratings for your Windows Leicester home. 

Your property will lose heat through it’s windows and installing energy efficient replacement windows is a sound way to reduce your heating costs and keep your Leicester home warmer.

Double glazing uses two sheets of glass with a gap between them which creates an insulating barrier.  Triple glazed windows have three sheets of glass. Both options can deliver a high level of energy efficiency but in the UK we have found that it is not cost effective to supply triple glazing as we do not have the weather conditions to require it.

With our sculptured frames and pilkington glass double glazed unit,  we supply all you’ll need for tip top performance with an “A” rating for windows in Leicester.

We only supply high rated energy efficient windows for windows Leicester.  This is similar to the one you may have seen your household appliances. A-rated windows are the most efficient and our replacement windows come with a ratings sticker to show its effectiveness.

Pvcu Leicester Windows supplier guideline for East Midlands

June 14th, 2010

I’ve just had a customer mention that he’d received a quotation that was £1500 cheaper than our for his entire house windows and that he had decided not to use us.  This is disappointing,  especially as I know the competition in our area does not provide the quality or service that we do - in fact it’s more likely that this customer will be looking to replace his Leicester windows again within 10 years - not good!

To ensure you gain a quality service - compare our benchmarks against other Leicester window companies.

  • Pilkington K glass - A quality material made into 28mm double glazed sealed units with high thermal insulation and noise reduction.
  • Up to 70mm frames – along most original window profile size.

  • Fully welded framework, no screwed together joints improving rigidity.
  • Use of virgin materials – long lasting whiteness and U. v. light stability.
  • Reinforcement metal frame chambers to resist against burglers.
  • Glazing beads on the indoors to enhance security.

  •  Shoot bolt locking plus middle mortise bolt - for security each opening window is secured at several areas.

  • All British standards met or exceeded

  • Ten year guarantee and warrantee. 

  •  FENSA registered for Windows Leicester.

  • Compare all these check lists against any quote before making your final decision as all windows Leicester companies are definetely not the same.

Wood effect pvcu windows leicester by Trustyle UK

May 26th, 2010

I’ve just been asked if we can have various wood effect colour options on our windows - yes and no - we find that the vast majority of homes fall nicely into one of the wood colour window effects that we supply - often cherry wood or oak effect looks superb on many properties.  We can provide more windows leicester colour options but we’ve found that the cost of customising colour takes the jobs price up too much for most.

Doubling Glazing Leicester and across the East Midlands

February 23rd, 2010

Just a note to note the difference between sculptured pvcu double glazing frames against the main stream frames supplied by much of our competition.  Basically the Sculptured profile frames found in both double glazed windows and our doors provide the raised edges,  almost a picture frame effect but on a much more subtle basis.

What you’ll see when comparing other pvcu frames is that the surface is flat with less appeal - this is often the case when companies manufacture their own windows.

There’s little comparison when it comes to looks - ourselves and the majority of customers much prefer a sculptured profile window for their Leicester home.  In short,  it’s a beautiful looking piece of doubling glazing - we also try to keep the pricing as low as possible - style and quality is never compromised though and a high quality product comes as standard every time - this is because we dont manufacture on site - we buy our frames in to exacting standards so if it’s not 100% perfect,  it wont be fitted into your home.

Double Glazing Quotes | Price Negotiating Tip | Windows Midlands

June 19th, 2008

There are a couple of tips for getting the lowest price from the Window representative that visits your home. I know a team of sales people for the company that I work for and the best tactic is to just be yourself and be polite and friendly to build a rapport with the salesperson first.

You’ll have a price in mind and if your quotation is higher, ask them if they can go lower and see what they come up with. Next, tell them that you can make a decision today but the price has to be much lower because its way more than you expected - at this point, don’t say anything.

If the original price now drops by 10% or more you’ve done your job and if you are happy with everything consider taking the deal. After all, quality home improvements are expensive but they increase the value of your home sometimes by more than the cost of the home improvement immediately so it’s a sound investment, providing you’ve done your homework.

Windows Buckinghamshire Service And Maintenance

April 25th, 2008

For the oiling of hinges use a furniture aerosol wax spray containing silicone. Avoid using oil. Do this once a year to keep your windows hinges and door locks in tip-top condition.

One common mistake when cleaning windows is to use general washing up liquid. This can break the seals down over time.

Don’t use abrasives to clean your windows no matter how long you’ve left them. For white PVC-U use a cream window cleanser. If you live in the Midlands, Windows Buckinghamshire, Nottingham or Milton Keynes, our designers can help with maintenance advice.

For Patio Doors give the track a brush through on a regular basis. Avoid using lubricants on the runners.

Whilst you shouldn’t keep your Window lock keys in full view on every window sill, we do recommend that you keep each window key within the room itself in case of an emergency situation.
