Why PVC?

We install PVC doors and windows that keep that new look for many years, requiring only minimal maintenance. No need for all that sanding, priming and repainting - and your home reeking of paint smells for days.

The inherent properties of PVC make it an ideal material for replacement windows and doors, since it is low maintenance, does not rot and is resistant to weathering. It is also tough on impact, retains its shape within normal temperature ranges and since it can be reshaped at very high temperatures it can therefore be recycled. This material is also commonly called uPVC (or even PVCu or vinyl).

Our well-proven system, installed by skilled and experienced craftsmen, will provide a weathertight, easily cleanable surface for many years. Our multi-chamber design gives you a warmer, quieter, altogether more comfortable home. Its internal gaskets ensure that your windows and doors will remain well sealed regardless of outside weather conditions. Our systems are independently verified for performance quality and system security using the stringent tests of the UK’s leading testing houses. ISO9001 accreditation is backed up by full compliance with the needs of Document L, with further certification for BS7413 and PAS023/024 for performance and BS7950 for security.

We use Pilkington K Glass™ – the acknowledged world leader in the double glazing field.

Pilkington K Glass™, which normally forms the inside pane of a double glazing unit, permits less heat to escape through your windows compared to ordinary glass. This is thanks to a special energy-saving coating which lets the sun's rays through, but reflects heat from radiators back into your living space - heat which ordinary double glazing allows to escape.

Pilkington K Glass™ also significantly eliminates internal condensation and ‘cold spots’. These qualities make it ideal for households which want energy-efficient and elegant windows, doors and conservatories.

Certass which stands for certification and self assessment, was formed several years ago and was one of the original Quality Mark certification bodies. It is therefore a natural progression for Certass to move into the self assessment market.The Statutory Instrument for Certass approval was made on 9th March 2006 and was laid before Parliament on 15th March 2006. The approval came into force on 6th April 2006 and has now been published by HMSO as Statutory Instrument 2006 No. 652.

In simple terms this means that Certass can invite glazing applications to be licensed for Self Certification, therefore our application forms are available on request.

Certass have made arrangements with various insurance providers to provide discounted schemes for their members e.g. waiving of inspection fees and registration fees for individual contracts.
