TruStyle UK - Windows And Doors Blog

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.

A customer has just mentioned that we do not have any details of our finance or credit deals on our website for replacement windows, doors or conservatories so here’s some info!

If you live in Leicester, Nottingham, Loughborough, Northampton, Bedford or surrounding areas we can offer low rate finance deals. One example is a recent purchase for one of our Leicester Conservatory customers. The purchase price was £7850, purchased for £37 per week / £147.58 per month over 60 months with a low APR of just 4.9%. The total repayable is £8,854.80. Compared to our competitors and banks, this APR rate is good value. We can also offer 0% interest on other products too making superb quality upvc home improvements affordable when shopping with us.

We are pleased to announce that we are now approved suppliers for the Swish range of quality pvc-u windows, doors and conservatory frames.

Veka is another of our past providers proving that you can rest assured, we only use the best materials to provide stylish, built to last home improvements.

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.

Having fitting hundreds of PVC-U Double Glazed Windows across Nottinghamshire, Trustyle UK have seen a vast range of Glass requirements. In fact you’d be amazed at the options we can provide.

Most quality UPVC Double Glazing companies will use Pilkington Glass in their products and Trustyle are no acception. What you are often not told is just how many choices you really have, something that we can do for your home.

Peoples Double Glazing Nottingham priorities are different but they usually fall into these main categories / Keep Sun Out / Keep Heat In / Protect From Fire / Protect From Crime & Security / Decoration, Appeal & Privacy / Protect From Fire / Self Cleaning Glass.

Now here’s the interesting part. Take a look at the Pilkington Glass options :

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.

Because of our fully sculptured profile Trustyle are often the preferred choice of Architects and discerning period homeowners.

Welcome to our fourth and final part to this PVC-U Windows article on how to get the best quote and service for double glazed products and PVC-U replacement Windows Midlands and Milton Keynes, UK.

Guarantees

Obviously you’ll want to ask what guarantees are in place and there is one point worth mentioning here. All good companies should offer a 10 year insurance backed warranty and Trustyle have offered this from day 1. This protects your home improvement should the company that you use go into insolvency.

Because of the above though you should ask what after sales service the company provides as standard and what you can expect if your UPVC home improvement needs attention. This is important, on top of your 10-year insurance backed warranty.

It goes without saying now that you just need to check that the company you choose is FENSA registered. Most are, including Trustyle and this is the body that governs the specification and installation of your double glazed home improvement.

At Trustyle, this means that every single pvc-u home improvement that we complete across Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Nottinghamshire and Milton Keynes is of the same high standard – no exceptions! Visit FENSA

Finally, always verify exactly when you expect your doubling glazing improvement to start work and how long it will take. Our usual installation is between 1 and 3 days and we always remove any windows or old Porch’s and Conservatories as part of our price and service.

Make sure you make it clear that you want your installation completing within the agreed time frame and that you don’t expect workers to start and then come back to complete your job a week or so later. This doesn’t happen at Trustyle but I have heard of this happening to other people so it’s worth mentioning.

If you have old UPVC or traditional installations, make sure you get their removal as part of the service and ensure you don’t become foul of “extra charges”. This is not a factor if you use Trustyle, I am just mentioning it if you live outside of the Midlands or Milton Keynes where we can not service at present as we wish to remain a medium sized company.

This completes the 4 parts to this article. I hope that you found it informative.

Come back again as I’ll be looking at every conservatory design available within our range and answering lots of common questions.

Welcome to part three of our UPVC Home Improvement guide to getting the best double glazing quote across Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes.

As we’ve discussed, getting the lowest double glazing quote doesn’t mean you’ll be getting the best deal as standards of product and service vary wildly in this business.

The trick is to make sure that you first find 1 or 2 companies that can deliver on product quality and service to a high standard and then negotiate a double glazing price with these companies whilst discarding any companies that dont meet your own checklist.

Criteria to tick off might be to see some actual customers houses and its not unusual for people to ask to see some specific houses in their area where we have installed new UPVC products, windows, doors or a conservatory.

If you live in the Leicestershire region you might want to visit our double glazing showroom where we have already built a conservatory and have many samples of our range, clear to see.

It can be a good idea to ask to speak to previous customers. You can ask questions like:

Did the fitters arrive on time and complete the work as stated?

Did they wear uniforms, clean up after themselves, were well spoken?

Would you recommend them to your friends?

These are all excellent questions to ask a window companies previous customers if you are able to provide you with the confidence to go ahead with complete peace of mind. After all, supplying your home with quality upvc home improvements is a big decision so you are well within your rights to ask as many questions and expect the company to bend over backwards to give you clear answers.

Our ongoing success at Trustyle has come through customer satisfaction and personal recommendations.

Getting the price down.

It might seem like an obvious statement but always ask for the best price. Say that you are ready to strike a deal but it depends on the price. Home Improvement Companies including ours have set price guidelines but can run special offers on products like any other window company so asking if a company can lower their price to get the business is not unreasonable and good sense.
