Triple glazing is often presented as the obvious next step from double glazing: three panes of glass, better insulation and a warmer home. But is triple glazing worth the extra cost, or would you get better value from high-quality A-rated double glazing?

A conservatory can be one of the brightest and most versatile rooms in a home. But if yours is too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and rarely comfortable for long, the problem may be the roof.

If you have noticed water on your windows, the first question is not simply, “How do I stop condensation?”

Condensation on the room side of the glass, on the outside of the glass, and between the panes are three different things. They have different causes, and they do not all need the same solution.

For many homeowners, original timber sash windows are one of the things that give an older property its character. The proportions, glazing bars and traditional vertical opening all contribute to the look of a Victorian, Georgian or Edwardian home.

The problem is that old windows can also bring draughts, rattles, sticking sashes and regular maintenance. That is where PVCu sash windows offer a useful alternative. Modern designs recreate many of the details associated with traditional timber windows while adding the practical benefits of modern glazing, weather seals, security and lower maintenance.
