UPVC stands for Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride. Also known as Rigid PVC it has become popular in the building industry because it’s durable, easy to assemble and low-maintenance.
UPVC has been used in the construction of windows and doors since the 1960’s, but has only really become popular with the majority of UK home owners over the past 20 years. Amazingly UPVC windows account for approximately 85% of all new and replacement windows in the UK.
Less maintenance and with greater durability than standard timber framed windows, UPVC is also used for fascias, siding and weatherboarding and has obvious aesthetic benefits.
If your property requires new or replacement windows, UPVC could well be the answer. Just be sure to source a glazing firm using high quality product and with a reputable team of fitters.

Whether you need to replace existing wooden window frames with shiny new UPVC or simply to replace a cracked pane, getting the right price for your replacement windows is not always easy.
Make sure you chose a firm with an established reputation, preferably local and FENSA registered and do your homework before you invite them to your home.
Good quality replacement windows sell themselves, so if possible cut out the salesman and deal direct with the installer. Few firms operate this way, but if you need replacement windows it’s in your interests to sources one who do. Double Glazing on the Web are a good example of this – check out their website for more information.

Would you buy double glazing online? With the wonders of EBay, Amazon and Freecycle online, there are few material items in this world that technology and a large credit card limit can’t buy you.
I certainly wouldn’t advocate purchasing frames and or glazing through the internet and having a crack installing them yourself, but there is a lot that can be said for double glazing online. For one thing you neatly sidestep the intrusive salesman who comes into your home and tries to sell you features you don’t need. By cutting out this stage, you would also cunningly avoid the inflated costs glazing firms mark up on their products in order to pay for said intrusive salesman.
Wouldn’t it be great, once you’ve decided to replace windows or doors or even by a conservatory, if you could take some brief measurements and contact a glazing company who would quite happily take you through their products, but not send anyone to you home except the a surveyor? That for me would be the real highlight of being able to buy Double Glazing on the Web.

Ok, so there’s frost on the ground, it’s dark at 4:30pm and there’s talk of more snow… You could be forgiven for not putting those new patio doors at the top of your priority list. In fact if you’re anything like me, you don’t so much as venture into the back garden between October and May, but trust me, come the odd day or two of British summertime, you’ll wish you’d planned ahead!
Picture it now; smart new double glazed patio doors leading directly onto your lawn. This year you’ll enjoy serene evenings with just the summer breeze and the sound of the dusk symphony from the song thrush. You can be looking out through your patio doors at the frosty mornings, the drizzled afternoons and the snowy winter evenings whilst enjoying all the extra heat that you may have been losing before choosing double glazing.
The rate this year is flying by, summer will be here before you know it… better get stuck in on the weeding then!

Make ‘saving money’ your New Years Resolution with these top tips on slashing your energy bills!
Don’t waste energy….keep the heat in; preserve your heat with double glazed windows and cavity wall insulation where possible. Thick or heavy curtains and draft excluders also make a huge difference and can reduce heat lost through windows and doors. According to Energywatch, by turning your thermostat down by just one degree centigrade could cut your heating bills by 10 per cent. Finally, simple things such as energy saving light bulbs, not using standby on your electrical items and turning off lights when you leave the room can also make a difference.
Look Online…..if you’re considering switching your supplier, new cheap utility deals are constantly being launched online and most of the cheapest tariffs on the market can only be taken advantage of by internet customers. Many new deals even offer cash-back.
Monitor your meter…..if you receive an estimated bill from your supplier; make sure you aren’t paying too much or too little! Where possible, give a meter reading to your supplier. This will avoid a large bill landing on the doormat or a large increase on your direct debit.
If your home isn’t already double glazed, be sure to look out for credit-crunching energy saving deals on windows and doors in the New Year!

Conscientious approach to buying and selling homes or bureaucratic complication imposed by a nanny-state? As from April 6th 2009 anyone selling a house must possess a Home Information Pack prior to marketing.
In Green terms, the HIP pack is crucial. The inclusion of an Energy Performance Certificate is expected to considerably influence people’s decisions when buying a home. Even if buyers are not environmentally conscientious, the impact a property’s energy rating has on heating/running costs, should certainly feature highly when accessing a purchase price.
The HIP provides proof as to whether or not a home is well heated and well insulated; if it’s not, then it’s very likely to affect the property’s price. It is estimated that without double glazing, a property will achieve around £5,000 less than the market value. Put simply, to get the best market value a property will need to be double glazed.
Whether they will have any effect, other than raising the blood pressure of potential sellers; HIP’s are with us for the indefinite future. Click here for more information.
