If your windows are single glazed, mouldy, damaged, letting in cold air or allowing your heating to escape, new double glazed windows can deliver huge benefits to your everyday life. But which window installer or double glazing companies is best for the job in 2021?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Replacing windows in your home is a fantastic way to upgrade your home\u2019s curb appeal, your everyday comfort, reduce unwanted noise from the outside and can also deliver energy savings by lowering heat loss and getting rid of draughts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n New double glazing windows should last around 20 years (on average) before you need to think about replacing them again. However, if they are poorly installed windows can develop problems and their lifespan shortens significantly, so it\u2019s really important you use only the best window installer. Here\u2019s how to find them\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n At Smart Home Improvement People<\/a>, we highly recommend obtaining at least 4 quotes from different window companies. You can do this really easily by putting in a double glazing enquiry. We will get you in touch with up to 4 local window installers who will visit your home to discuss what type of new windows you\u2019re looking for. And to provide you with a no-obligation quote for the work your looking to get done.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n When it comes to choosing a window installer the more experience they have the better. That\u2019s why it\u2019s a very good idea to do some research into how long the installer has been in business for and how much experience they have installing windows. They should also be registered with either FENSA or CERTASS which recognise competent tradespeople.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Company websites are a good place to start when looking for reviews and testimonials, as is this website. Windows Guide operates a service which allows our customers to rate and review our window installers and leave genuine feedback. Using the genuine verified customer reviews and ratings on Windows Guide is a great way to identify trustworthy companies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n When you\u2019re considering quotes you can also ask to see photos of previous installations they\u2019ve carried out or, even better, visit a couple of local sites they\u2019ve worked on to make sure the finished standard is of a high quality.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Any reputable window company should offer you a warranty with the work they carry out. Which will protect you from any further expense of having to get your windows repaired during your warranty period. The warranty usually won\u2019t include the usual wear and tear, or damage that results from mishandling or modifications.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The length of warranty on offer is a very good way to judge the quality of the windows themselves. Most national window installation companies provide warranties of 10 years. Which should provide you with real peace of mind that you\u2019ve made a sound investment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n At Smart Home Improvement People we work with both independent local double glazing companies. As well as the large national companies so we can you every option that is available. There are obviously positives and negatives to both options and it will always come down to your personal preference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Most people prefer to use local companies as they can offer a more personal, bespoke service, i.e. you\u2019ll be dealing with the same people from start to finish rather than call centres. Local window companies do have a tendency to have cheaper window prices than national companies. This is because small companies don\u2019t have the same kind of over heads that the national companies do have. They will normally get the bulk of there customers from word of mouth. While you will end up paying a national company more money for your replacement windows, they do often run promotional offers and some homeowners prefer the security of using a big brand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Whether you choose to go local or national, make sure they are either FENSA<\/a> or CERTASS<\/a> certified. This ensures that they comply with the Government\u2019s and local building regulations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Installing double glazing with new uPVC windows throughout an average 3 bedroom house could cost between \u00a33,000 to \u00a35,000.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n However, it\u2019s difficult to estimate the cost of double glazing an entire home as it will depend how many windows you need. What size they are, the type of glazing, frames and style of window you choose. All your options come with different price tags.
