Double Glazing Quotation Checklist, Windows Midlands, UK
February 18th, 2008Welcome to the first of our 4 part guide to getting the best double glazing quotation and service possible in Leicestershire, Northampton, Bedford, Coventry and Milton Keynes.
Whether you are interested in upvc replacement windows, a new porch, french doors or a conservatory, following these rules will save you money, ensure you get a good service whilst making sure that you dont make a big mistake.
Firstly, its handy to know that there are around 9,000 independent double glazing companies across the United Kingdom. This might surprise you as it did me when I first started working for Trustyle. With so many companies out there you wont be surprised to know that standards and products can vary wildly so just getting several quotes wont necessarily ensure you’ll make the right decision as all companies will say that their product is of good quality! There are bench marks of quality in place so its important to compare prices of like for like upvc products.
This means doing a bit of research. Trustyle products for instance have a sculptured profile. This means that when you look at our window, door and conservatory frames, you’ll see a shape, grove and style like a simple picture frame which is most appealing especially when comparing against many of our competitors who manufacture flat looking frames. Asking if a company supplies sculptured profile could be your first question.
Second, we use Pilkington Glass throughout our range. Many companies choose Pilkington for its excellent quality and we are no exception, this could be your second question.
Their are various grades of pvc-u which companies use for their frames - some better than others. A good quality upvc is VEKA or Alastoprene and we use both. Checking on their pvc-u product and comparing like for like double glazing could be your third question.
Check back tomorrow, where I’ll be posting part two of this article and showing how to get your double glazing quote down across the Midlands.
