Common questions

How much to double glaze a whole house?
A typical three bedroom house with around 8 to 10 windows costs roughly £4,500 to £7,500 in uPVC. Aluminium or timber pushes this higher.
Which window frames are cheapest?
uPVC casement windows are the cheapest. Aluminium costs more but is slimmer and stronger, and timber is the most expensive and needs maintenance.
