Trusted Window Installers in Bridgend

One question that we get asked quite often…. “Is it worthwhile replacing uPVC double glazed windows that are over 20 years old?” The short answer is Yes. Replacing your outdated double glazing is a sensible option to consider. As with most things advancements in technology & increased environmental awareness has lead to improvements in the quality & performance of uPVC window frames & double & triple glazed glass units. Older double glazing can lead to increased energy costs & reduced warmth in your home during the colder months. Newer windows can improve the heat retention in your property & ultimately save money on your utility bills, you may also notice noise reduction. The manufacturing technology in the glazing industry has advanced significantly over the last 20 years with products now having a much improved U values (the lower the U value the better the insulation & energy efficiency). This is in part due to the increased volume of chambers within the frames, greater cavity size between the glass panels, the use of special coatings on the glass & filling the gap between the panes of glass with an inert gas such as Argon rather than air. All of the windows that we install are A rated or above by the BFRC (British Fenestration Rating Council). They have developed an A - E rating system similar to something you might see on a fridge or tv to make it easier for consumers to understand the energy performance of the products you are considering.
