Choosing your double glazed window style can be influenced by several different things, a design to complement your home, ventilation requirements, fire escape requirements or an individual design with some decorative glass to add your own touch of flare.
Double glazed window styles and designs have evolved, in the early years of double glazing the main criteria was to replace rotten timber windows with UPVC double glazing which was "maintenance free". Home-owners today want more from double glazed windows, they still want to reduce maintenance on their homes but energy efficient and secure double glazed windows are often the priority. With the Pilkington Energy Care range of glazing we offer a range of double glazed windows that keep the warmth in your home and save you money. You can combine these energy efficient options with Pilkington Active Self Cleaning glass to create double glazed windows which require as little maintenance as possible. Our double glazed window designs also have the option to up-grade to the Police Approved Standard of Secured by Design meaning your home can be fitted with doubled glazed windows that reduce maintenance, provide excellent insulation and keep unwanted visitors out!
There are also differences in the performance and appearance of different UPVC systems to consider for double glazed windows. Our showroom in Ilkeston has the Deceuninck UPVC system on display in natural light so you can see the difference for yourself. Deceuninck has long been regarded among the best for quality of finish and durability so you can feel confident that your double glazed windows and doors will stay beautiful for longer, with very little maintenance.
