Double Glazing Cardiff

To use a much-quoted answer; ‘how long is a piece of string?’ It really is as diverse as that. You can buy cheap windows from DIY stores such as Wickes and B&Q. That’s probably the cheapest way if that’s the priority. Will they stand the test of time? It’s a gamble and you won’t know the answer until they fail. The same applies if you buy from the cheaper nationals. If you can negotiate, you may get a good price but please look at the feedback on Trustpilot before ordering.

The cost will depend on several factors. Quality has an effect on the price, both in the materials used and the fixings. The difficulty for you as the customer is know ing the difference. Windows and doors look the same when they are fitted. It’s only in time that you start to see windows dropping because the hinges aren’t sturdy enough or frames bowing because the aluminium or steel inside the frame is not strong enough. The fitting can also make a difference. Your windows need to move smoothly and this relies on level fitting. Unfortunately, the industry is known for sub-contractors who value speed over quality. That’s the reason that, as a premier window supplier, we fully employ our installation engineers. They know that quality takes precedence and will take their time to ensure the perfect installation.

Sometimes the perception is related to house value. There is no difference in cost whether you live in Cardiff or anywhere else. A window costs the same whether you have a 2-bed bungalow in the South Wales countryside as it does for a 6-bedroom house in the middle of Cardiff.

The difference is that when you pay for quality, you can expect your windows to last a lot longer. With double glazing, you really do get what you pay for. Our quotes are free and without obligation, so there’s no harm in letting us measure up. Pop your details in the chat below and we’ll give you a call to arrange to come and measure for you.

We’re often compared to Everest although we are not as expensive as them so a quick word on why we think Heath Windows and Doors is the better choice.

There is nothing wrong with the quality of Everest Windows but when you buy from them, you really are paying for a name and the high commissions that are paid to everyone involved in the sales process. 10% commission means that if you spend £10,000, £1,000 is going to the salesperson plus the cut for the sales manager, the canvasser and the cost of lead generation. They have a massive operation that has to be paid for. When we quote, we give you our best price without any games or inflating prices to show false discounts. There is no pressure or obligation and we won’t stay in your house for three hours.

We would claim that our double glazing products are just as good as Everest, especially when taking all of the factors into account. We think our feedback shows that. Everest won the right to use the ‘Fit the Best’ tagline based on one strength test many years ago. Since then, they have been through many changes including closing the company and starting again twice.

We choose our manufacturers for quality, style and value and believe we match Everest for quality. When you call us, you speak to a person and are not left on hold for a long time. Our fitters are fully employed which means that we control the quality of our installations. Everest sell on the basis of having a life-time guarantee but that guarantee is only for condensation between panes and that is an extra cost. The usual guarantees are the same as ours – 10 or 20 years depending on the product.

With all factors considered, for peace of mind and continuous relationship, we believe that Heath Windows and Doors offer a better service than Everest and certainly more value.

Our complete range of products is available on finance including double glazed, windows and doors and conservatories.

If you’re considering having double-glazed windows installed in your home, then you’ll want to know if they’re worth the investment, and rightly so. Here you can learn all about double-glazed windows, from the key assets to how long they last.

Reduce Noise.

If you live next door to a screaming baby, double-glazed windows are your answer to blocking that unbearable noise out. Granted, all babies cry, but it doesn’t mean you want to hear these cries in the middle of the night when you’re trying to sleep.

Say hello to double-glazed windows and goodbye to sleepless nights. These stylish windows are brilliantly soundproof and will therefore create a barrier between your home and the environment outside… even traffic on a busy main road.

Your home is your refuge, so it’s important that you take care of the soundproofing. Our UPVC double glazing will keep out unwanted noise from outside and give you a quieter house to live in.

Stylish as well as Functional.

Who would have thought that windows, of all things, could be stylish? Well, they can. In fact, windows can often be a focal feature of a home; they are, after all, one of the first things you notice about a house.

So, whether you want double-glazed windows to make your home look aesthetically pleasing for yourself, your guests or potential buyers, double-glazing is the way forward. They look much nicer than traditional windows without compromising on other essential qualities.

Security is Maximised.

Double-glazed windows are tougher to break than standard windows, and the fact that they’re sealed tighter means they’re difficult to force open. Burglars will have a struggle trying to access your home via double-glazed windows. Do we need to convince you further?

No Escape for Heat.

Double-glazed windows mean that there’s no chance of warm air escaping. With the UK renowned for having very unpredictable summers, houses can get cold quite quickly if heat is able to seep out.

However, double-glazed windows create thermal insulation thanks to their airtight construction. In turn, this will reduce the amount of money spent on heating your home.

Energy Saving.

Due to heat retention, lower energy bills are inevitable. And who’s going to complain about that? It’s estimated that after the installation of double glazed windows, an average home-owner will save £170 a year on energy bills.

Multiply this annual saving by the number of years the windows last and the homeowner could have saved a whopping £3400 as they are expected to outlast their ten-year insurance backed guarantee..

Long Lasting.

You can reasonably expect your double-glazed windows to last as much as twenty years. There are some that have lasted even longer than that. That’s a long time so, it’s well worth splashing out on these durable windows.

Poorly fitted windows won’t last half as long, which is why it’s important to choose a reputable double glazing installer.

We are just as much fans of uPVC double-glazed windows as we are of aluminium windows. They both have their place in the market and we help our customers choose the right windows depending on the house, their personal taste and the budget. The most popular windows in the UK are uPVC casement windows. Sometimes our customers will choose the same style of windows as the neighbours to help create a cohesive look in the street. Other customers choose windows that are completely different from any other houses because they want to stand out and maybe want a more contemporary look. Get in touch and we will help you make the right choice.
