Add Something Different

Some customers have grown very weary of the standard white PVCu window and are now looking for something that extra bit special to transform the appearance of their home - despite the increasingly poor economic outlook.

One thing that hasn't changed with customers is their high demand for new products. Consumers these days expect lots of choice, with whatever they are buying, not just windows and doors. More choice allowed the customer to purchase something which is more unique to them, rather than the customer having to settle for something 'off the peg',

As well as the PVCu colour market on the rise. The expansion of coloured aluminium has also reinforced the coloured market over the last couple of years. The coloured option is now here to stay. And with one-off 'grand-designs' becoming ever more popular, coloured windows and doors are going to become increasingly popular over the coming few years.

Also the textured finish to the PVCu frames is becoming more main stream 

Also cream colours are now available as a standard colour – but you can now have any colour you want

Remember all new customers who have palnitherm glass fitted can enter the competition to win back the cost of their double glazing

Condensation

Condensation

Condensation in homes is caused by varying factors such as type of heating , lack of ventilation  - and not helped by showers , drying clothes inside the home – all this water vapour has to somewhere and normally it is the glass

Fact 1

Fitting double glazing is never a cure for stopping condensation on the inside  – it normally help though

Fact 2

With the widespread use now of the energy efficiency glasses eg. Planitherm plus  and the filling the cavity with argon we now get condensation forming on the  OUTSIDE of the glass. In a  nutshell there is nothing that any firm can do about this as the rules about glass was set by Building Control.

This should clear when it warms up

Tecno facts

The glass combination is low iron glass, soft coat, argon gas and warm edge spacer. On occasions there will be  condensation (moisture) appearing on the outer pane of glass, on cold mornings, and clears up within a couple of hours.
It says to me that the units are working so effectively that warm air from the inside of a house, is not getting to the outer pane. In other words, the windows are performing extremely well at cutting out heat loss.
On a positive note, the householder will notice a difference to the temperature of the home.

Fensa

FAQ

1)  What is FENSA  - FENSA standards for Fenestration Self-assessment Scheme – launched in 2002  to as a means of compliance to Building Regulations.

Fensa makes sure that the correct type of heat retention glass has been used , checks on whether a certain sealed units should have been toughened  and checks that where possible there is a means of escape from bedroom windows.

2) Do I need a FENSA certificate for a garage window ?

NO – You only need a FENSA certificate for windows in the main house

3) Do I need a FENSA certificate for a conservatory ?

Again NO – Conservatories do not come under FENSA jurisdiction

4) Do I need a FENSA certificate for a back door

Most probably No – if the area of glass is less than half of the BRICKWORK OPENING SIZE  - then a certificate will not be needed

5) Can I complain to FENSA if I am NOT happy with my windows

NO – Fensa is not a quality mark for installation  If you are concerned about lack of aftercare  choose a window firm belonging to the DGCOS  or the GGF.
