Why FENSA is still the best scheme for consumers searching for reliable double glazing companies
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>UK consumers researching considering replacement double glazing or triple glazing might well be baffled by the fact that there are three competing organisations all claiming to offer them the best double glazing advice on which company or companies they should deal with.
I read an article on the Telegraph.co.uk website entitled “Property Advice” which looked at the fact that double glazing customers now have three companies to distinguish between, which wanting advice on double glazing and which firms are reputable etc.
The article stated that “window manufacturers and installers are not obliged to belong to any kind of scheme at all. Membership of FENSA (Fenestration Self-Assessment) simply means they can certify their own products as complying with the thermal-insulation requirements of the Building Regulations…
Hazlemere Commercial’s high performing 0.7 W/m2K U-value system10 aluminium windows
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>Hazlemere Commercial now supply and fit System10 Aluminium from Bowater Architectural as it is such a radical new design concept for commercial windows, doors and curtain walling. The product looks like aluminium but in fact has a specially designed PVC-U thermal break that means the System10 Aluminium can be used in places where traditional aluminium windows cannot. Due to its inventive design System10 Aluminium can be specified for UK buildings that are required to meet the most stringent thermal and ecological standards. However, unlike other systems currently available in Britain, it achieves those standards whilst retaining all the design flexibility and aesthetic appeal of traditional aluminium windows. Consequently, there is no need for architects, UK property owners or developers to compromise on design to achieve…
Patio doors offer secure, fast access to the outdoors
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>Replacement double glazed sliding patio doors seem to have become a standard home improvement feature in many UK homes over recent decades, and to this day still continue to retain their popularity amongst home owners. Why? They offer a great combination of looks, security, maximum use of space and great value for money. Other reasons may be because sliding patio doors offer a practicality that no other door is able to replicate.
Modern sliding patio doors are manufactured using the very finest aluminium and UPVC frames. The thermally efficient double glazing they provide helps keep you and your home warm at all times. Because of the thickness and quality of the toughened safety glass and sealed units, you will find that they are also…
Why composite doors are worth fitting to any home
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>Very few home owners would argue that well maintained timber front doors look terrific, and that they usually cost more than high quality composite doors. Also, solid timber doors can warp and twist over time, plus need maintaining to keep the natural beauty of the wood looking pristine. Ordinary PVCU double glazed doors are less expensive and wipe clean, and do a great job up to a point, as UPVC or obviously not metal, so not the strongest material available to keep out intruders. Consequently, double glazed residential aluminium front doors and back are inherently much stronger, more durable and more secure than most PVCU doors.
Like residential PVCU doors, aluminium doors are low maintenance and therefore easy to maintain and operationally make excellent French…

Aircraft noise pollution becoming a bigger issue for homes around London Heathrow
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>An article on the website YourLocalGuardian.co.uk published on Friday 13th May 2011 entitled “Richmond left out of BAA’s aircraft noise compensation scheme” stated that “Homeowners have expressed disappointment a proposed BAA scheme to offer financial compensation to communities suffering from aircraft noise will not include Richmond. Residents living under Heathrow’s flight paths are set to miss out on plans to help more families pay for double glazing or even the cost of moving out of the area. BAA has proposed expanding the area where it would give communities compensation, extending it out as far as Isleworth, in Hounslow, to the east of the airport. But the new zones would not stretch as far as Richmond, despite planes roaring over parts of the borough…
Whether double or triple glazing, replacement windows make sense
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>Any UK property that has single glazed windows installed, it is very likely to have huge energy bills and a greater carbon footprint, than homes fitted with modern thermally efficient double glazing.

Dozen tips on fitting lasting replacement double glazing
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>When the significant changes to the Building Regulations came into force on 1st October 2010, the result meant that replacement double glazing costs soared, as no longer could home owners (or installers) legally fit the old cheaper non-compliant double glazing. It is now a legal requirement that both property owners and double glazing installers fit high performing energy rated windows and doors.
Given the fact that the new energy efficient products property owners must fit are more expensive than the obsolete double glazing that did not have a thermal break it is worth not rushing or being pressured into buying double glazing. Take the time to thoroughly check the double glazing you wish to purchase (or are being “sold”) is independently certified and approved, and…
